Back in the dayz...

The game that hooked me on rainbows and cute bright coloured characters... Sagmeister? Brody? Screw them... this is what inspired me to do design!

Dirty Ca$h pics

What a party that was! Indulging on a night full of free beer and vodka red bull while looking at INSA's sexually charged graf creations... nice!

Monkey magic

Just stumbled across this...

The Gorillaz are well known for the remarkable 3D artwork that features in their video clips, now comes an interesting move from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. They have taken their short films and turned them into something of mass proportions for the BBC, having produced a traler promoting the BBC's coverage of the Beijing Olympics, based on the Chinese folk tale Monkey King twisting the tale of the classical Chinese novel "Journey to the West", turning it into a "Journey to the East".

Watch the animation on the BBC website HERE


They turned the whole thing into a proper opera style extravaganza too... check some footage HERE

No idea if it delivered the goods, but I love how Albarn and Hewlett try to fuse animation with real environments. Let's hope there will be a third Gorillaz album and lots of fresh short movies... :)

Ernie up!!!!

Here comes the Kuns!

Dropped today for Gold members at the Amos online store. Now, this isn't the most pretty figure ever, still this mutant will grow on a lot of people over time. Only 160 pieces of each colorway available in good ol' Europe.

From Amos:

For many years Amos have been friends with Japanese toy makers, Bounty Hunter. The friendship dates back to the days when BxH helped Silas create the original Martin figure, the very first James Jarvis figure, released in 1998.

Bounty Hunter kingpin Hikaru and Waterman bonded over their love of punk rock, in particular the Third Wave of UK bands such as Discharge. So when it became time to celebrate 10 years of making toys, who better to ask than the original rockers of the modern vinyl toy revolution. And thanks to former Discharge drummer Garry Maloney, the deal between Amos and BxH was cemented through the exchange of original band memorabilia.

We celebrated our ten years of toy making by combining the two single most iconic characters from each company. Bounty Hunter’s Skull Kun, and Amos’ King Ken. The result is King Kun with one colourway to represent the punk rock attitude of Hikaru, and the other a homage to Jarvis’s original King Ken.

"Friendly skies" by REAS

New REAS print dropped exclusively at Pictures on walls today and sold out within 2 hours. 4 colorways were available, each signed and limited to 40 pieces.

Still feel a bit sick of splashing out 150£ on a print but REAS is just the man and I guess it's time to step up the geek game! Holla!

The KAWS JPP

Damn, totally slept on this one. Thanks to the KAWS newsletter I got reminded by Mister Donnelly that I should get up tomorrow to cop this thing. I am a great fan of Pipo-Kun... just in Japan the cops can have such a sweet mascot!

*edit: yellow version in the bag, black version already sold out, and that 20min BEFORE the shizzl should be available online. I love glitches in the matrix :)*






The real deal:

Medicom Fabrick

Was never really aware of that Medicom brand... until I met this little fella here...

Who is watching the Watchmen?

I sure as hell will do! Still a year to go and teasing us with this sweet trailer, looks like Zack Snyder has another eye candy comic adaption up his sleeve. And I just love that blood splattered smiley logo!

Meet my new friend

A bit busy catching all my fave artists live at the moment. Looks like everyone is in town: UNKLE, Lupe Fiasco and tomorrow the might Wu Tang Clan! So it's all about more drinks and less blogging!

Just so everyone is not bored... meet my new friend Womax! Another great Michael Lau toy that took me awhile to hunt down.

He will keep you company until I am back from bouncing around infront of a random stage in London...

Portishead "Third" Remixed

Normally the results are horrendous when fans mess with the material of their heroes, but the Noise/Floor Crew did an bloody amazing job of chopping up the latest record of the mighty P and giving it some deep electronic dance beats.

And the best... it's for free! Visit their blog to listen and download...
