I recently received a copy of A Great Pile of Leaves‘ cd, and though I’ve rarely done any music write-ups myself, I chose to share some of my thoughts below. I have little, to no, information on the band A Great Pile of Leaves– which may actually be better since my opinions won’t be affected [...]

Saturday evening, was an exciting night for me. Giant Robot NY was hosting the opening night for Nathan Jurevicius and Andrea Kang’s duo show [Harley & Boss], Lost in the Woods. I met Nathan Jurevicius once during NYCC ’08 and since his owlet’s release, I declared myself a bonafied fan. For those who aren’t familiar [...]

Unboxing: Alan Wake Limited Edition from IHCS.me on Vimeo. Last week, two highly anticipated games were released for the home gaming systems; Red Dead Redemption, which I’ve sort of shared my excitement on in a previous post– and, Alan Wake. In this unboxing, Grim Santo– video master for IHCS, unboxes the special edition boxset of Alan [...]

Scene: Adventures in Lollipopland from IHCS.me on Vimeo. Yep! You know I’ve been out of it when I share a video of a show’s opening night so late, that it’s no longer up for viewing. I feel quite ashamed to be writing those words, but it doesn’t stop me from sharing anyway, since many out-of-towners [...]

Saturday evening, I stormed out of my home around 7:45pm running extremely late to The Great Outdoors, which I’d posted about last week. The show featured the works of; Royce Bannon, Darkcloud, Michael De Feo, El Celso, LA II, Kenji Nakayama, Neckface, Lady Pink, Matt Siren, Stikman, and Swoon.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Cyllian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Caine– I’d like to go on the record and say that the cast alone have the makings of an epic film. Add Christopher Nolan to the mix, who’s directing skills from The Dark Knight impressed me, and you can count my $13 in! Also, while [...]

For those who aren’t aware of it, on May 29th, I’ll turn 3yrs old! Well, not I, but IHCS will. I wanted to celebrate with a re-vamped look, but sadly I’m still not there financially. In my need for change though, I’ve decided to tweak this WP theme I’ve been eye-ing since who knows how [...]

Just two months shy after her solo show at Dragatomi, NReason is ready for her second solo show of 2010. Boom!, featuring works of her grenade character taking over the world, will open tomorrow evening at We Are 1976 in Dallas, Texas. I’ve never been to Dallas (only H-Town), but if you happen to be [...]

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) [...]

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’m worried I’m going to forget about officially posting about this shirt. If you’ll recall, during the Valentine’s Day weekend I recommended picking up some Lauren Gregg prints– her style merges pop culture with great use of color that I totally dig. Well, the print I recommended picking up is turning into a Nerdist tee!! [...]

WonderCon is officially in full swing here in San Francisco, and after just the first day there are some definite treats. WonderCon runs through Sunday, so if you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by to see them in person. Here are just a few highlights ~~ Go on to page 2 to see [...]

Since we’re on the subject of customs– I’m quite delighted to be able to share (and show off) my friend J*ryu’s custom Marshalls for Wondercon! I’ve been fortunate enough to get teeny sneak peeks of his work in progress and I almost believed him when he said the picture he sent me was his lunch [...]

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 [...]

Last week, I shared I’d be attending New York-Tokyo and Frank’s Chop Shop party in honor of Shin Tanaka. The art of paper toys (not origami– although I also appreciate that form of art too) have been a quiet hobby of mine for a while now– and it’s always intrigued me how artists come up [...]

I’ve got to give it to Jeremy Madl, I don’t always dig his style– but my heart melts anytime a new MadL hits the market. His platform is one of my favorite platforms ever. To me, it doesn’t matter if it’s blank of whether its adorned with someone else’s art (or his own for that [...]

Keep reading to check out all 16 designs, along with some [...]
