Mr. Benson by lundqma

In my head, I’ve written about the Heroes and Villains show already, but alas- I am wrong. I was distracted by Tim Biskup, as he is a participant of the show and all I can do is stare at his photo. *sigh* Someday, I will meet the man and tell him how much I long for him. In the meantime though, I’ve read that the Heroes and Villains show is visiting San Francisco for 9 days.

The reason for the post though, simply melts my heart even more. Tigerlily happens to be in the Top 10 toys I love and adore. I’d found out that Tigerlily was inspired by Tim Biskup’s daughter, Tigerlily. Apparently Tigerlily is going to debut in her first show with her dad, Tim. The girl is 5 years old and already she’s making cutesy art. Hit the jump for some of their collaborations. The show includes solo pieces by both, and collaborative efforts. The prices range from $20-$600 and are a little smaller than a post card. This just makes my imaginary relationship with Tim a lot sweeter. Continue reading »

Clearly, I can’t separate myself from the computer as news of Mr. Clement and Marie Paysant-le Roux’ collaboration hit all the blogs instintaneously. Maybe it just seems that way because I’ve finally made my way back home to update. =( Anyway… I will admit that I was totally lusting over both Mr. Clement and Petit Lapin for a long time, and my dream of owning at least one of these figures didn’t come true until a great gal [Colette] gifted me one. The image above was one of the images I took of him the weekend he arrived. My smile grew wider when I learned that it was just any Petit Lapin, but a limited to 100 pieces, Petit Lapin. [Thank you so much again woman!]

Now Mr. Clement has joined forces with an artist I don’t know too much about, Marie Paysant-le Roux. They will be releasing a Petit Lapin, also limited to 100, and I’m more than curious to see what they’re design entails. I do have to say this; after having been to the Paysant’s site, I am pleased with her soft color palettes. The simplicity, yet intricacy of her projects seem like she and Mr. Clement will bring forth something great. More updates when they’re available.

I probably should’ve said, Bossy’s 6″ turtle because he likes to claim EVERYTHING as his. David Horvath has released a drawing of his upcoming 6″ vinyl. Some may recognize him from the Bossy Bear book as the tutle who teaches Bossy how to share. Well, now he’s going to be made available to us for cheaps [$15 to be exact] and he is scaled to be 12″ Bossy Bear’s companion– this means, if you haven’t gotten your giant Bossy, it’s time to get him now.

Straight from the press, or better stated; straight from Erick’s flickr account comes a first look of Chelly Chainsaws chainsaw. He has a tagline that states: The blood will run. If such is the case, I request much MORE blood, please.

I think I totally stole the “customs delight” title from TOMOPOP. Doh! Sorry about that guys [and lady friends]. Anyway, the above custom is too awesome for words. I mean, he comes with his own came and custom harpoon gun!! Yay… who’s got their tickets? Not me, at least not for the IMAX. I heard that people bought loads of them and put them on ebay for $100 a pair. [via.] Hit the jump to see the latest poster for The Dark Knight. Continue reading »

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you live in NYC, I’ve officially spotted the Onitsuka sneakers by Simone Legno (tokidoki) at DavidZ. Actually, I think this may apply for all US residents. I’ve just spotted them on their site too, so you may be able to get them delivered to your homes. The above model will cost you $120, which are the ones I want. All other models seem to cost $130. I’ve never ordered from DavidZ, so I don’t know how well they are with deliveries or whether they deliver to all states. If you try, please let me know so I can update. Danke!

Who loves lomography? I dunno.* Do you even know what lomography is? I’m going to quote a snippet from wiki to explain:

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, “happy accidents,” and alternative film processing are often considered part of the “Lomographic Technique.”

I’ve been wanting to join in on the lomography [LOMO] movement, but I have yet to buy a camera. Well, that may all change. This weekend, I stopped by ACGears and discovered that they have a collaboration with various artists. Dalek, was the first of this batch of artists to release his own “supersampler” lomo camera. I love it. I had a friend pose with the box, which is beautifully designed, but I erased it by mistake. DOH!

The best part of the camera is that it’s green! Green is by far my favorite color. When I googled it, a pink version also came up, but I’m not a fan of pink and ACGears didn’t have that color in stock. Anyway, if you’re into lomo and love Dalek, you might want to mosey on over to the ACGears site and buy one for $60.99.

*I can’t believe I actually wrote that, but I’m keeping it that way.
