GOCCODO - Art Show in Japan


GOCCODO participated in an art event at "GEISAI#12" last Sunday in Japan. He exhibited all kinds of new artwork in this event. He had it all...from a new vinyl toy, and new resin toy, and new illustration, a new custom toy ....and much more!

The name of new vinyl toy is "Chicchi". "Chicchi" means in rough translation "The urination of the child" in Japan. As you can see from the pictures, it is a sitting boy on the toilet...hahaha, and it will release in the near future.

The toy that is in the shape of the heart is made of resin, this is going to be a DIY custom figure.

The new illustration is FLYMAN!! His name is "BOOMY". Boomy is first resin toy of GOCCODO, and you can't forget about the custom MAD*L, and MUNNY. Also to note the next show that GOCCODO is participating in is the I.W.G. show in San Francisco, so be sure to check out all the great custom in that show as well!

Keith Poon from ToyQube just release his Hamerhead Shark at NYCC09, which is an awesome figure, but it really stole the limelight from Keith's Sharky figure...well don't fret much longer my vinyl friends because Sharky is coming back, and this time with a vengence. A huge thanks goes to Paul from Lavish Livez for providing us with this sneak peek into this new project!

New Infectious with MAD and Emil Kozak


Today Infectious welcomed into the catalog two new pieces from Infectious founding artists Emil Kozak and MAD.

Emil Kozak shares a piece from his recent Trading Magic for Facts show. With "Fibonacci", Emil wants to transport you back to your childhood, to a place where you spend all your days playing, without worrying about the future.

MAD switches it up with "MADGRAFIC" and trades in his more iconic character driven style for some hard edge graphics. He assures us that his name is buried in there somewhere. Yours to stripe across your laptop, iPhone or iPod from $9.99.

They have also just created an InfectiousArt Twitter account so you can stay in the know on what they are up to. Only seemed right seeing Tim who started Infectious, also had a hand in starting up Twitter. So if you'd like to pull back the curtain and see what goes on behind the scenes at Infectious HQ, you can follow them here.

"Wallpaper Memories (Black and Blue)" - Cris Rose



This is one of Cris Rose's latest customs, I am really in love with the style...top notch! Posted below is a quick little blurb that Cris wrote about this piece...oh how the days drifted by so slowly as a child! Great work Cris, as always!


"One of the glorious things about getting older, is that you start to appreciate history and memories. What would have been worn, damaged and therefore discarded as a child, becomes something of sentiment, the signs of wear actually adding value and character...

So, being the sentimental bugger i am, here is the first in a small series of Wallpaper Memories, painted as and when the nostalgia of my youth takes me.

Lets go fly a kite...

...in my experience as a child, that involved far too much looking up and not enough looking where you're going. Black and blue was the result."

This beauty is for sale RIGHT NOW for $120, click HERE to get it!
