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.
Analog Playset and artist Joe Ledbetter are proud to announce the release of the terrific 2-figure set "Wrecks and Dazey". These figures are being distributed by the great folks over at The Loyal Subjects for Analog Playset and are 3D representations of the characters "Wrecks and Dazey" as is featured on the album, "My Dinosaur Life" from recording artists, Motion City Soundtrack. Wrecks is a lovable Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Dazey is his prehistoric over-sized Bee pal! It's really so fantastic the leap from 2D to 3D that all of Joe's figures make... it's almost meant to be, and these look so cool... perfect for all Ledbetter fans out there! Wrecks sits about 7" and Dazey is about 4" tall. Both figures have multiple points of articulation, are packaged in a three sided window box, and for this release the regular edition is limited to 600 pieces worldwide with a retail price of $99.00 for the set! The best part is... SURPRISE... these are dropping tomorrow, March 24th at 12:00pm Noon PST at The Loyal Subjects webshop HERE and will be available through select retailers as well!

Artist Adam Greeley shares with us today a special customized Celsius that he is calling the "Hawaii" edition... and check that thing out... it's beautiful!

This amazing piece is going to be up for grabs in his online store HERE this coming Friday along with some really awesome prints (click through to see them) where 50% of the proceeds on the print sales will go to the Japanese Red Cross to help with relief efforts of the devastating earthquake and tsunami!
So not only did Erick Scarecrow launch a new online store (now being hosted by the great Limited Pressing), but along with the new store he put up some items in it as a teaser... very nonchalant, not saying anything... but we noticed and look at that rad figure. Titled "Tiffani" this limited edition resin figure is looking pretty snazzy, no word on how tall she is or what the retail price will be but it does mention that there will only be 20 pieces released... at least in this striking red/black/gray colorway! More on this very soon... I presume :-)

Created for the upcoming Matt "Lunartik" Jones' Custom Mini Tea Toy Show starting in Berlin at Gallery 43°, JimmyFoo really took a great idea and ran with it as he created a whale of a custom... not only figuratively but literally as well :-) Standing 13cm tall x 7cm wide Jimmy used a Mini Tea figure, Super Sculpey, Fimo, Aves and acrylic paint. The title for this piece is "Tea Leaf" which really does not describe what is going on but either way Jimmy did a great job on this piece, and executed it with style and grace!

As the story goes... A few years ago SEEN wanted to produce these crazy rattle can skeleton figures, but the company that was making them couldn't get it quite right so SEEN pulled the plug on the whole project. One day Mr. Den, who had been working with SEEN for the past 13 years, approached SEEN with the idea of letting himself along with Nemo curate a custom show with all the samples that were tucked away in a little dark corner collecting dust, he said "Hey slick, take em' all. Do whatever ya want wit em'." So now here we are today, the blanks have been shipped out, completed and are ready for their debut... will you be there, I sure hope if your in the New York area you make it out... this is a show not to be missed :-)
Completed for the upcoming "Big Trouble in Little China" tribute show that is being held at Dragatomi on April 9th is this really cool set of prints that Le Merde made. He states that "John Carpenter rules so I mixed in a little 'They Live'." and as you can see the the rendered 'formaldehyde-face' versus 'Jack Burton' turned out great and this print will be available at the show and measures 8.5″ X 8.5″! More previews to come :-)
It's one update right after another as we posted up a teaser earlier today of Vannen designer watches upcoming watch release with UK-based illustration artist McBess, and now all has been revealed! This watch titled "Time Machine" features tons of illustration all over it from McBess in an all black/cream color pallet with a contrasting all red clasp and strap buckle. The packaging design for this particular watch is sooooo sick, and I love the bands... not quite sure I am diggin the eye for the watch face, seems kinda lacking just because the rest of the watch has so much! This version is going to be limited to only 150 pieces worldwide, retailing for $85 each, comes signed and numbered, and each one comes with a coupon for a FREE digital download of the McBess' band Dead Pirates "Malevolent Melody" EP!!!! These are set to drop this Friday, March 25 at vannewatches.com and select retailers! So after all the teasers, and speculation on what the watch would be, what are all your thoughts on the design?
