Next week, Mark Ryden– one of my absolute favorite artists– will be in town for his opening at the Paul Kasmin Gallery. The show, titled The Gay 90′s: Old Tyme Art Show will feature a new collection of paintings and works on paper. After his Snow Yaks and Yetis exhibit last year, some people speculated [...]

Scene: Bic Buddy Custom Show- Zakka NYC from IHCS.me on Vimeo. Two weeks ago, MARKA27 held his opening for the Bic Buddy Custom Show at Zakka NYC. The show, which was on display at Crewest LA, made its way to the ever popular neighborhood of Dumbo– the perfect location if you ask me. Continue to [...]

Yesterday, during the late afternoon, I received an email that read: “My friend tells me Shepard Fairey will be on the NW corner of Houston and Bowery. I thought you’d like to meet him!” Right before this email hit my inbox, I’d planned on walking Walter Bishop (the dog, not the fictional character on Fringe) [...]

“Sunglasses at night are forbidden: Don’t be that guy” is just one of the many welcoming signs at last week’s Trusto Corp. opening reception at The Brooklyn Brother’s Gallery. If you’ll recall when I posted about it late last week, I didn’t have too many details about the show and the site wasn’t much help [...]

Twenty-ten has introduced me to many great projects and people, one of which is Kickstarter. I’m not sure if I’ve written about them before, but Kickstarter is a godsend to those who have a dream and don’t have the funds to make it happen. The project relies solely on the the graces of human nature. [...]

I totally forgot about sharing this sooner, so hopefully my 9am posting will get some of you to check it out. TrustoCorp. will be having a show at the BB Gallery tomorrow evening. There aren’t many details about the event, but if you visit The Brooklyn Brother’s Gallery site, you’ll spot one of, what are [...]

I realize the Podgypanda already has a fan page– but I think its time Teese and I start a fan club! And now that I’ve heard that Kiwi’s voice, I’m officially smitten with him even more. Podgy recently set up a booth at Armageddon Con in New Zealand and shared this picture on his site. [...]

I had the fortune of stumbling upon Tiny Kitten Teeth at WonderCon last weekend while wandering the small press aisles (one of my favorite parts of the con). I halted in my tracks because their wares were so cute, and then realized that I had seen that “Tigerbuttah Silverbook” somewhere before. Turns out that Tiny [...]

Just a reminder, if you’re in the Sacramento area (or can get there by tonight), Dragatomi’s opening their 5 Eyed Dragon Show tonight starting at 7pm. The previews look amazing, and if you were at WonderCon you got an extra sneek peak. DrilOne’s custom has amazing detail – just look at that rust! – as [...]

One of the best parts of Toy Street was getting a sneak peek of The Art Hustle’s Artist Trading Cards. Simeon Lipman is the man with the brilliant idea to merge old-school collecting, with a new-school edge. The concept is simple– trading cards that not only feature some of our favorite artists, but their art [...]

The release date of Jason Limon’s Artist Edition Yo-yos is quickly approaching and I wanted to make sure I shared the news before you missed out on your chance to purchase one this Friday, April 9th on TheSteveBrownGallery shop. Can I quickly just give props to the person who not only focused on the beauty [...]

As I mentioned in my overview post, meeting Toofly at Toy Street was one of my personal highlights. I’ve heard kaNO! mention he countless times and he always speaks so highly of her, that I’d been anticipating running into her for a while now. It was a delightful surprise to not only finally meet her, [...]

This post has been sitting in my drafts since March 17th, when Map-Map first unveiled his plans for these 3″ dunnies. Although I’ve sucked at not posting– I guess waiting didn’t result in terrible news, because since I’ve spotted his dunny army, Map-Map has managed to finish a good portion of them and they are [...]

The world has a funny way of pointing me in the right direction. I logged on super early instead of going back to bed because I wanted to make sure that the featured post I finished at 3am was free of spelling and grammar mistakes– and I woke up to the news of this incredible [...]

I realize I haven’t posted about the upcoming Sketchbot Custom Show taking place this Friday, but one look at the countdown located on Sketchbot.tv‘s site made me nervous that time was running out to remind people about making sure they got their butt’s down to MyPlasticHeart to see the pieces in person. I’d been holding [...]

I’d been meaning to stop by Giant Robot for a while now– and feel pretty guilty that I haven’t because their Prints and Pieces is about to be taken down this Wednesday. The show [exhibit?] features some works from both the West Coast locations and the Biennial. I was mostly interested in seeing what prints [...]

Just spotted some of Abe Lincoln Jr.‘s newest Stinckers Sticker Set (ooh, alliteration) on Facebook and felt the need to share ASAP! I’ve only recently, finally braved conversing with the man during Dino Alberto’s show I believe and he is totally cool and as down-to-earth as I anticipated he would be. If you’re a fan of [...]
