*ON SITE* "Deck The Halls" art show

Thanks to the amazing pictures from John Hook aka Contra808, I almost feel like I was at the event, and as you can see the show was popping, with all kinds of people going in and out, looking at all the amazing work done on skateboards!

*Review* Babu Cloud, awesome vinyl figure

A little while back (posted HERE) we featured a vinyl figure on our site that looks really cool, and now we were given the opportunity to review this really cool product titled "Babu Cloud" designed by the guys over at Babekuhl. This is their first of hopefully many vinyl figures from thier "Lucy In The Sky With Vinyl" series. Keep your eye out for the release of Babu's friends (and enemies) as his epic tale of life and love plays out in the heavens above. Babu is available in limited numbers in Banana split (yellow) Strawberry cheesecake(pink), Mint Chip (green) and Blueberry sorbet (Blue), each one of these colorways are $50USD. Each piece measures 4.13" tall, and is packaged with a Golden hand-numbered box in Babekuhl’s trademark “Firmament” print. These are recommended to purchase even though the price is a little steep, really cool figure!

"Stone Monkey" custom by VISEone

VISEone just passed over some amazing photos of a recent custom he completed for Think-Pink-Celle. The piece is titled "Stone Monkey" and the figure is based off Bunka's Chaos Monkey platform. VISEone really did a spectacular job of capturing the rock effect, turning this once vinyl toy into a stone statue, amazing! This is up for grabs HERE, so if ya dig, go snag it!

*ON SITE* "Qee2Life" Custom Toy2R Qee show at Genuine Artikle

Benny from Tenacious Toys loaded up with NEMO, Phetus & Mr. Den all headed out to the custom Qee show titled "Qee2Life" that went down at Genuine Artikle this past Saturday, 12.12.09! The show featured work for so many talented artists and thanks to the pictures that Benny took (that I stole from his Facebook) we can all get a really good look at all of them together. Some of the pieces are truly amazing and really make one (at least me) scratch my head, wondering "How'd they do that?", pure talent out there! Great job to all the customizers and to Genuine Artikle for putting on a proper show, I am really diggin the multi-tiered display that the art was on, really cool! Be sure to CLICK THROUGH for a photoslide show that captured the event!

*ON SITE* "The Jekyll & Hyde Syndrome" art show featuring the works of Project Detonate

OsirisOrion was on hand at the opening of Yosiell Lorenzo aka Project Detonate's solo show titled "The Jekyll & Hyde Syndrome", and he was able to catch some great video footage from the event, as well as a quick little interview with Yosiell as he talks about his pieces in the show. As mentioned before this show focused on a “darker” theme which deals with hypocrisy and vices people have that can be be labeled as their Mr.Hyde. The David Apuzzo Gallery had a really nice setup, and all the piecs looked amazing, huge thanks to OsirisOrion for capturing the video, and to Project Detonate for making such sick art!

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #44 & #43

Stefan is a super talented artist, and a super cool guy to boot! You can now follow all of his updates via his Twitter profile HERE, not on Twitter yet? Get a move on!

From Stefan's Blog:

Today's two monsters combine the very simple with the needlessly complex. Do you think there is a relationship between the two? Is one the larval stage of the other? How big is one compared to the other? Is one visiting the other in the zoo? Or on the job? Which one's afraid of the other? Are they even from the same planet? Is it the end of their year, too? I'm excited to find out the facts from you! Until then, have a great New Year's Eve. Have a brilliant night! Have some champagne! Be safe! 344 LOVES YOU!

"You Got A Perdy Mouth" by Tricky Dick

I don't have an Xbox myself, but I can tell you as a Wii owner I have gone through the same frustration... HULK SMASH! 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!
