What's been in the works for over a year, and now finally completed and handed over at SDCC 2011, was a custom motorcycle helmet that Aaron Martin aka
Angry Woebots created from fellow artist and friend
Nebulon5. This fully customized helmet by Woes features a different panda on either side, and if you think this is going to sit on a shelf in Neb's collection... think again because he has sealed this art and is rocking it while riding his bike all around San Diego... rad! So keep those eyes peeled if you live in SD! Would be cool to see other artist do this, or better yet have a company get some art helmets in production!

Just this last weekend,
Shooting Gallery in San Francisco played host to a new solo show titled "
The Fragile Art of Existence"that featured a brand new body of work from the one, the only
Skinner... and thanks to
Leecifer we have the great photos to show you all the opening night festivities. As you can see from the photos, not only did Skinner create some amazing looking canvases, but he also did a pretty wild installation, painting the walls with all kinds of odd animal stencils, fluid patterns and shapes in a green/black/blue color scheme... which kinda seemed a little distracting from the actual paintings... but then again was very fitting for Skinners wild style of art! The show looked amazing and drew a large crowd... and from the looks of it, there were some "red dots"... so congrats to the Skinman! This show will be up and on display until August 27th, and the pieces can also be viewed
HERE. Hit the jump for more pictures!

Lulubell continues our love affair with Ultraviolence this year by exclusively offering up Frank Kozik's 16" vinyl MechaNana... but what's that, a different color than we are used to seeing from them?!?! Yup, their usual colorway of matte black had some QC issues, so this year's Lulu color of choice is a luscious deep purple! MechaNana stands 10" tall by 16" long and is up for grabs for $150, and can be snatched up
HERE right now!
