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.
What perfect timing... seeing as the upcoming 2 man show at Super7 is happening this weekend which features the works of both Leecifer and Paul Kaiju... Jeremy Brautman had the opportunity to write a great article that was published today in a local bay area newspaper, the 'East Bay Express', which featured a great write up on not only the upcoming show, but on the journey that artist Leecifer has taken, the trials and tribulations he has faced the past 10 years, and the accomplishment of finally getting his own vinyl figure... the "Honoo" aka Flame! Head on over HERE now and give it a read, and congrats again to Lee! Be sure to head out to the show if your in the SF area this weekend... it's going to be a great one!
Today we are getting a peek at Buff Monster's custom Alien Argus for the upcoming "Alien Argus group show" at Toy Art Gallery this Saturday, February 26th 2011... and from what Buff has to say this vustom goes a little deeper than whats seen on the surface, of should I say while the lights are still on as he explains that the whole toy, except for the details painted with a brush is covered with GID paint... NICE! What we can see from the above photo is that this piece is really clean, features his famous green/pink color pallet, and has some crazy glitter on it... making us anxious to see it in person.
Preparing for the opening of the “When Worlds Collide” 7 man art show of apocalyptic proportions at The Screaming Sky Gallery tomorrow, 2/24/2011 artist Zam sent over some pictures of a few pieces he will have on display and for sale at the event. His collection of custom figures represents the haunting souls of past Asian arts, and along with the teasers is this little blurb...
The simple folds of an intricate origami. The well polished allure of a geisha. The calculated swiftness of a samurai sword. The simple beauty of a hand-crafted kokeshi.
All art dies. Some linger. Some perish. But eventually all meet their demise.
That's right folks, there is a brand new season of Vinyl Addiction hosted by Jesse Hernandez which is slated to air this coming March, and above is a great little teaser promo of what we can all come to expect. I for one am excited for it, and hope you guys are too... and that's what's up!
Remember our post last week HERE where we showed off a teaser of kaNO's upcoming custom "Panda King" which is the original figure designed/created by Angry Woebots! Well... kaNO just posted up another image, showing off the back of this beast wearing a letterman jacket with "Street Team" scribed onto the back! He will be releasing this resin figure - just this one - to the public at an undisclosed time and date so if you want it... I would say start following him on Twitter HERE so you know when it's going to drop!

As many artists around the world are preparing for the upcoming group art show at Gallery1988 LA dubbed "INLE" which is curated by Craola, Sacramento based artist Skinner would rather play with his rabbits... well not really, but he did incorporate his two favorite animals, 'Milo' and 'Butterscotch', into this EPIC time-lapse video of his submission for the show he is calling "Black Rabbit of Inle"! Enjoy!
