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.

We recently quoted Jeremy "MAD" Madl as saying that "there's lots more coming" in reference to his popular hand-cast resin Mini MAD*L releases and now we're wondering if he might've been implying the above… It certainly is a Mini MAD*L figure and we're told it is a laser etching test piece. Not only does it look absolutely fantastic, but — historically — the piece itself became available only a week or two after a teaser picture like this one surfaces, so keep your eyes peeled. I have a feeling this might be the most in-demand version of the Mini MAD*L yet. *** UPDATE *** Madl informs us that this will not be the next Mini MAD*L to be released, but he'll be doing a version using the laser etching technique down the road.
The absolutely stunning work of J★RYU resurfaces, adding another piece to his ever-growing "Forest of Sorrows" style. This time around he's tackled something new: a Diana F+ Lomography camera, which we're told is still in full working condition. He's entitled the piece "Los Ojos Ocultos," which translates from Spanish as "The Hidden Eyes," and we're cryptically told that it is for something on June 19th in Los Angeles… though I have no clue what art show this stunning piece could be for.
From the fervent mind of Hugh Rose come the next installment of pieces for the previously announced upcoming "Battle of the Mascots" series. All of Rose's pieces have blindingly perfect stain glass patterning painted upon them, with a detail level so insane that one must question if a human hand alone is capable of such exact work… Absolutely mind-blowing. And the chase variant of the five pieces, pictures dead center, only appears the same on quick examination; closer inspection reveals that the chest design is different & even more detailed as well as the subtle additions to the feet to make the figure truly resemble a medieval structure. Like the rest of the series, any of these would make a great addition to any custom collection.
"Battle of the Mascots" will be released on May 22nd at 5PM EST as a set of 50 blind boxed customs, each costing $65, in the Battle of the Mascots online store. The Good Side is represented by Sekure D, Hugh Rose, AlexBreak, Fuller, and MatCanDraw, while the Evil Side consists of Don P, Commandante, Nikejerk, JFury, and JC Rivera.
OH SHOOT!!!! Look what just dropped today, the official roster for the next Art Hustle trading card series... and look at all those fine artists involved! This next series is due out early fall of this year and will feature trading cards exhibiting an international group of over 75 artists working in street art, toy art, kaiju, sketch, illustration, painting, aerosol art, poster art, tattoo art, digital art, collage, sculpture, photography, blog :-) and more. Keep your eyes peeled for artist cards popping up via social networks... as they will all start getting them very soon.
The American fine metals foundry Fully Visual is making the above pictured metal — possibly brass — sculpture from Nathan Hamill's design. Entitled "Kammu," the figures appears to be a proud dragon wearing a kabuto (Samurai helmet) and what appears to be leaf wings. While not much more information is available, we do understand this piece will be available later this year. *** UPDATE *** We're informed by Hamill that "Kammu" is actually a dog and not a dragon.
It's all the "Toy Lords of Chinatown" action that you've been waiting for! After the glorious big screen viewing the other night, the world online premiere of Episode 3 has happened, allowing all to bask in the glory that is The Sucklord's creation. If you missed the drop of the Sucktrooper figure, the remaining copies of the limited edition 70 piece run are available in the Suckadelic online shop for $75 each.
