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.
Originally intended to be part of the SpankyStokes.com Custom Celsius contest, this incredible piece was sent up by the artist bnko, and is one impressive custom! The texture and details on this guy are what takes the cake for me, and it fits the sculpt of the Celsius perfectly."Powered by steam, this little rusted flying cyclops is all about discovery and exploration." Check out more pictures at the bnko studio website.
Dan Orosco aka D-LuX is starting up a really cool subscription for all of his art fans out there! There will be two tiers of subscriptions for custom toys, and both are well worth it from what he would normally charge for a commission piece, and in either tier you are not getting some production toys that aren't gonna sell out, you're not gonna get some prints you'll never frame... You are getting 1 of a kind, hand painted custom toys... killer toys I might add, so if this is something that interests you, visit his online store HERE for the juicy details!
The guys at ARTDENKA recently attended "Design Festa vol.32" @ Tokyo Big Sight in Japan, and brought a bunch of new stuff along with them. From the image of their booth above I can see some pretty rad stuff, including the new "Hell-O-Bastards" figures that we posted back in July and the new "Eyeboy" figure. If you like what you see, check their flickr for a bunch of detailed photos of their creations... it's great stuff!

Well lookie what I spied on Max Toy Company owner Mark Nagata's Flickr page, a beautiful orange test shot of his Alien Argus figure... but that's not a normal size, it's a mini!!! There are not anymore details about this except the fact that Mark titled it 'Max Toy Mini Kaiju series' meaning more than one figure :-) Stay tuned for more info once it's released!
Art Basel is upon us, and for those of you in Miami for it you have got to stop and see all the custom Gibson guitar's for 'Art Assault' a giant group art show featuring tons of uber talented artists. Case in point, the rad custom guitar by French Canadian design team 123Klan as they adorned this guitar with their rad "Fellastar" figure! This along with many other guitars and custom vinyl pieces will be on display and then auctioned off with proceeds benefiting the Gibson Foundation!
Here we go with another long overdue review... this time around I am reviewing a sweet plush figured named "Lemi The Space Wanderer" designed by Eric Wirjanata aka Thunderpanda. This was so graciously donated by Benny of Tenacious Toys, and not being a huge collector of plush, I gotta say I really like this little guy. Take a few minutes, and get the full scoop on this rad little figure!

Ian Ziobrowski just sent over some amazing pictures of his HUGE 20" custom Qee for the "Qee to the City" group show at Art Basel 2010 in Miami! Ian says that this is based off of his bluntstein painting he did a few years ago. This is Titled "Qeebert Einstein" and as you can see from the above photo Ian sculpted so much on this, and then meticiously painted him up to resemble the genius that was! These 20" figures seems to be such a massive undertaking and all the work that the artists have put into this is totally paying off... killer work man! This figure along with the other massive 20" Qee's will soon be posted HERE in the online store, and try to make it out to see this beast in person!
