This website is about any and everything that sparks the creative genius in all of us. By profession I am a Graphic Designer, and enjoy all aspects of design. From traditional to urban from resin to vinyl, these are all great mediums and deserve to be explored. On top of that everything from music to movies from guns to graffiti.
This show features two of our favorite artists from our home town, Brian Morris and Mitch O' Connell. Both Mitch and Brian draw heavily from tattoo-inspired graphics, though their styles differ greatly. Mitch tends a little more toward the light and kitschy whereas Brian tends to explore darker themes. Regardless, this should be another great show in our gallery!
Opening night is TONIGHT @ Rotofugi....Friday, May 22 from 7pm until 10pm with music by DJ Yunicorn. Exhibit continues through June 7. We've already sent out the preview list, but if you're not on the preview list and want the link just email me and I'll send it over.
Here are some more progress shots of the King Katch sculpt. I posted about this earlier HERE, and as you can tell from the photos they are making some progress. The detail is phenomenal, and this is going to turn into an amazing figure once completed, actually it is already AMAZING!
Muttpop Bob had this to say about the sculpt and process:
"As we near the final stages of Monster5's King Katch sculpt. it was due time we shared a bit with you! Both pics are from Monster5's latest batch of development pictures. At this stage, I'd say the sculpt is 85% done. We had a few issues with Monster5's teeth and arms, but Monster5 did a wonderful job addresssing them. The toughest thing to translate was King Katch's hair. Compared to the anatomy of the King Katch design, the hair is very abstract and spiky. Monster5 did a good job of maintaining the simplicity of the hair shape while giving it the needed weight and volume in it's three dimensional form. The only thing that will get a makeover from the included photos are King Katch's calves. Fabien wants the calves to be a bit more plump and smooth. In it's current state the calves are a bit too angular and have an unnecessary and overly realistic dimple behind the knee. We have already asked Monster5 to make the necessary changes."
Keep up the great work over there at Muttpop guys, all of our past projects are amazing and the future is looking really bright, and I am really looking forward to your upcoming releases!
This awesome photo montage video and verbage is from Juergen, and you can follow him on twitter HERE. Here recently went to Toy2R in Hong Kong, snapped some shots and threw this together...thanks for sharing man!
Juergen had this to say: "Hong Kong the heart of Vinyl Toys. As we all know they invented the trend like more less 10 years ago. Today I had the Chance to visit the toy2r store in Kowloon Bay in Hongkong. The Shop is based in a Shoppingcenter which is called Megabox, a interesting big big Shoppingcenter like one of the 500 in this city, hehe. Okay when u enter the Shoppingcenter you see there some Displays along the escalators where famous Designer are exhibit there work for toy2r. Comming up to the third level brings you to there store and u can see a lot of very nice qee and as well a very big one. I was looking around and can not get my finger from some of there DIY Qees so i have had to buy 5 of them. I realy enjoyed the visit there and hope you enjoy the Video. Looking forward to bring you more stuff directly from Asia." DragonHo.
