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 [...]

Threadless, who make several appearances on the site and also produce some of my absolute favorite tees, have outdone themselves! Well, the voters have actually, seeing as how votes determine whether a design gets produced or not. Waiting in my inbox was the latest Tron inspired t-shirt and hoodie. Ready for this, they glow-in-the-dark!! The [...]

Tonight, pink aficionado Buff Monster, will be opening his new exhibit Adventures in Lollipopland at Giant Robot New York. The show will features new canvas works along with mixed media including custom toys. If you’ve never met Buff Monster, and happen to be in the area this would be a great opportunity to not only [...]

Nike chase from ilovedust on Vimeo. Say what you will about Nike and its horrible tactics (sweatshops and worse), but one thing we must agree on is their ability to commission amazing artists to create their gear and campaigns. Above is Nike Chase created by ILoveDust. Can you say, oh my god?!!

As noted in an earlier post, Kick-Ass made its theatrical debut today and though it seems I won’t get to watch until tomorrow or Sunday (blergh), comic book fans (and unaware viewers) are already responding positively. Yay! To coincide with its release, FCUK has released a couple type tees to celebrate. I’m personally digging the [...]

It’s here, it’s here! The Shawnimals sponsored giveaway is finally here! The fine folks at the Shawnimals Headquarters have been super awesome (more than usual) and have sent some goodies my way to giveaway. As soon as the mail arrived I posted a picture to share, and based on popular opinion, we’ve split the goods. [...]

KickAss release date!!! I’ve yet to finish the series, but I very much look forward to seeing the movie tonight (latest tomorrow). If you’ve seen it, leave vague details of its awesomeness (or suckage below), if you haven’t; are you going to? Or do you think it’ll be craptacular? It is the same guy who [...]

Last week, while eating dinner with the Pimp, I realized she had a Shawnimals’ zipper charm hanging off her bookbag. When I’d first spotted the zipper charms, I thought they were cool, but also had the wrong impression about them. So, I trekked over to My Plastic Heart, and took some photos of the ones [...]

I’ve seen several redesigned movie posters (Gallery1988 even had a show dedicated to this artform), and I really dig people’s creativity and ability to change what are sometimes the best movie posters EVER! In this edition of redesigned posters, Tomasz Opasinski has combined toys with movie posters. The figures look like a mixture of Munny [...]

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 haven’t posted much about the awesome things available on the internet in a while– so I figured I’d start sharing one day at a time. To set things off, I’ll start with this robot head toilet paper holder. I’m a huge fan of robots and if I had my own place, this would definitely [...]

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 [...]

I’ll admit that I’m no comic book buff– but I’ve randomly managed to pick up some of the best comics on the market. That’s quite a statement isn’t it? I think there was a point to sharing that– oh yes. One day, about 3yrs ago, I randomly decided to purchase The Boys trade and began to [...]

Have I told you how much I love Glee? I rarely share how many shows I watch– and its probably best I don’t as it isn’t a healthy amount. I will say that thanks to the power of Hulu, Netflix and DVR I don’t waste my life on commercials. So, that’ll make me feel less [...]
