I Heart Cool Stuff

I woke up this morning to an email from Dalek announcing his newest print (which is now sold out.). Someday, and I really hope its someday soon, I hope to own some original artwork from Dalek. I really do love his space monkeys and in the mean time I’d appreciate any of his Space Monkey blind box figures, but it seems they’re sold out everywhere– you simply can’t snooze when it comes to these artists.

Anyway– Last night, I’d also spotted a collaboration between Dalek, Internal Affairs and Triumvir. Check after the jump for more info. (more…)

I bring news of 5 different artists and their upcoming t-shirts. First I’ll focus on Bubi Au Yeung’s shirts, and then you can hit the jump to find out (and see) the shirts that Doktor A, Tara McPherson, Jon Burgerman and Dalek are releasing.

I love Bubi! If you don’t know who she is, the above photo should give you an inclination. She’s the talented artist that brought us Treeson (and all it’s colorways/sizes). She recently shared the newest additions to her Zazzle shop where she sells her own apparel.

Be Different is the newest addition to her site. She has it available in several cuts for both men and women, and also has some key chains, hats and a mug!! I think I might be picking up the mug for myself, because I have a mug collection that needs some growing. I also happen to love her previous design:

I am actually quite in love with the expression on her character’s face. hee-hee. I say, I want to ask Bubi to turn me into a Treeson. The very first image is a picture of Bubi (treeson-ized). I like that she’s able to do a simple design with such limited colors. Great job Bubi! To check out her shop, click this link. Now, keeping reading to see stuff from some of our other favorite artists. (more…)

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.

I’ve been aware of their upcoming release for a while, but I was waiting for more images of what to expect. Mr. Shane Jessup had released some sneek peaks, but it still wasn’t enough. I do have to admit though, that I’m super excited for PON! for making it into the production design. He’s cool and very chill. Anyway… Sket has updated his myspace blog with his design (which by the way happens to be a chase). I think I need this chase simply because I’m a New Yorker.
