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.
"Meanwhile" by Jason Shiga at GRSF Saturday, March 6, 2010 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Luke Martinez from Giant Robot San Francisco just gave me some great news about an upcoming meet/greet/sign with comic book artist Jason Shiga to celebrate the release of his new publication "Meanwhile". I really had no idea about Jason's work until I got the email, and I can honestly say that I really like the simplistic approach to sketching and drawing that he does, the event should be great and below is a little more info to help wet your whistle!
[Press] In Meanwhile, a pick-a-path graphic novel for kids (and kids at heart), it’s up to readers to decide the fate of the protagonist, Jimmy, when he finds himself in a mad scientist’s lab and is given the choice between three amazing objects: a mind-reading device, time travel machine, or a Killitron 3000. Starting from the first choice (between vanilla and chocolate ice cream) a series of tabs along the edge of the page allows readers to spiral down, around, and through a dizzying array of tubes that contain puzzles, clues,, and shocking revelations for our reluctant hero. There are also hidden codes leading to secret pages, which offer even more adventures to explore in this parallel universe.

[Press from EliteGudz.com]Elite Gudz has released the fourth video in a series starring graffiti’s most iconic and prolific artists as they join the ranks as official Concrete Immortalz, featuring Terrible T-Kid 170, a legendary style master whose career has spanned three decades. T-Kid 170 is one of the leading figures from graffiti’s golden age and an authentic representation of what it is to be one of the Concrete Immortalz. The former gang member turned graffiti artist came out to destroy the Concrete Immortalz mural and give his thoughts on the project.
Originally painted at Tuff City Tattoo by Phetus and Such, the Concrete Immortalz mural was immediately destroyed by Cap, Cope2, T-Kid, Ban2, Indie and Cheez as a tribute to the real life actions that go on within the graffiti subculture.
Kevin Olson aka Motorbot has been making customs for some time now, and he has become very well known for his awesome food labbits... well up until now, these have just been created here and there, now he is getting his own show and all of his awesome food pieces are going to be under one roof!
Oldies, but goodies... this is what you can look forward to seeing!
"I Like To Eat" is going to be featuring a whole slew of customs including 17 x 5" labbits, 2 x 10" labbits, and 20 x mini labbits! Kevin also says that the smaller ones will be reasonably priced at around $15 -$20 so everyone that goes to the show can take something home with them! This is going to be a fantastic show and Dragatomi, as always, will be a gracious host, so mark your calendars for March 13th, 2010... preview pics to come :-)
Harlod Peter designer of the Gubi-Gubi paper toy platform has been busy recruiting some top notch artists to throw down some designs on his figure, and just recently he had artists ABZ and Philtoys really do some fine work on it! These pieces created by both designers turned out well, and really have their own style... if you don't like one you will surely like the other... shoot you might even like em both... either way head on over HERE now to download the templates and get crafting!
Bob Conge of Plaseebo has been invited to be part of the "deft" group show at the C Emerson gallery in St Petersburg Florida. This show will open on Friday February 26th, 2010 at 7pm and will run to 10pm... and no worries if you can't make it out for the opening because it will run until April 17th.
Bob will have two new figures titled "The Face Of War" and "SUM"... each one of these is a 1/1 customs and completed only for this show. They are both signed and just like the rest of Bob's pieces these have built in LED's to glow throughout the night! Also Bob is treating us to a side I personally have never seen, these awesome stylized drawings titled "Poolside With Picasso" & "Poolside With Soutine" which are produced in a very limited number!
Nemo needs our help! He has submitted some awesome t-shirt designs to a site called tatshirts.com where if he wins by getting the most amount of votes he could receive $500 to $750 big ones... and get the winning design made on a shirt!There are also known artist in our community up on that site so head on over HERE now, and get your votes in... or heck submit some yourself!
Artist Kat Brunnegraff wows us all once again with a great new piece of art... but this time she was able to capture it all on video for use! This was a painting commission for a friend of her's and when it is all said and done the piece is a 11.25" x 11.25" painted with acrylic paints on a Poplar Wood board. This is a really great way to showcase your work as an artist, and time-lapse IMHO makes it so enjoyable to watch the process. Good stuff Kat, and hopefully we will be seeing more videos of you in the future?!?
It looks like designer/artist Mori Chack has teamed up with Kidrobot on yet another product, and I am really liking the outcome. Gloomy Bear has always intrigued me, how such a cute little pink bear can have such a dark side. The outlandish gore that always accompanies each figure is A+ in my book, and I particularly like the clear translucent blood dripping from Gloomies chin, AWESOME! This figure stands a formatable 5" tall and will retail for $30... which might be a little high in my book, but who am I! This is set to release on March 18 at all Kidrobot locations!
The guys over at Smash Tokyo Toys are getting really close to making casts of their robot figure "Bohrer K16" created by artist Matt Walls and Kris Smith. Above is the final prototype of the figure, and like mention HERE before, it does come with with an alternate "Centurion" head. Also, from the last time we saw this, they made an executive decision to upgrade from a 6" version to an 8" version. The next step for these guys is to take this rapid prototyped model and make some casts. If you want to see more, hit up their Facebook page HERE... a ton of sketches and concepts to gander at, also check out the full turnaround video HERE!
Something about anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... I love it so, I can remember goig to the arcade as a kid and just throwing money away in that stupid game... only to get to Be-Bop in the burning building and lose! 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!
