lost at sea by Beadler on TeeFury


Ahoy Mateys, come and sail the 7 seas!!! TeeFury is an awesome website that sells T-shirts for $9 a pop...the only catch is that it is only on sale for 24hours and then the next T-shirt is posted up! I have seen awesome shirts by some amazing artists on here and the total purchase price is $11. So that is $9 for the Tee and $2 for the shipping...that is an awesome deal that can't be beat! I will try and post the shirts up daily, or you can go visit the site yourself!

Money does go back to the artist and after today, this t-shirt will be Gone FOREVER! Today artist earns $1 for every tee sold. So make sure you get over there if yer diggin the design!

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #86


From Stefan's Blog:

Monster 86 likes to groove. You wouldn't know from looking at him when he's just standing there, but the proof is in the pudding. Perhaps he heard that I've been playing all kinds of bad pop lately and decided to join the fun. Or maybe he suffers from sudden debilitating seizures that happen to fall on the beat? Does he dance alone? Or is he waiting for his date? Do you think he's a young monster? Or an ancient dancing fool? Does he listen to ABBA? Or to James Brown & The Famous Flames' Live at the Apollo? Or is he bouncing along to a new track by new contributor Transient? It is, as always, for you to know and for me to find out. (And I love that.) Please don't keep me in suspense!

Frank Kozik: Hell Comes to Chicago


Hell Comes to Chicago
New Paintings by Frank Kozik
June 12-30, 2009

Frank Kozik (yes, the one and only KOZIK) will be exhibiting paintings with Rotofugi starting June 12. Kirby (of Rotofugi) recalls seeing one of Frank's fantastic oil paintings at a exhibit in Chicago in 2005 and wondering to himself why he hadn't seen more of them. Frank may be best known for rock posters and toys, but he wields a mean brush. Frank returns to the canvas and paint world with a new show aptly titled HELL COMES TO CHICAGO.

This is going to be a GREAT show, and it is kicking off tonight at 7pm, Frank will be on hand for signings of art and whatnot's as well as great conversation! Works from this exhibit will be added to Rotofugi's online store a few days after the opening, so keep your eyes peeled!
