I Heart Cool Stuff

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. (more…)

Today is the public opening for Tim Biskup’s second solo show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery.

The artist returns for his second solo show at the gallery, having created a series of new paintings on canvas and wood panel. In conjunction with The Artist In You, Biskup will also release a limited edition book by the same title, in which he verbally explores the ideas presented visually in his new collection of work.

I am all types of excited to meet him in person. I’m hoping that I’ll actually be able to talk to him since I have a crush on the man and will most likely be a total fangirl. Hope to see you there.

BoingBoing.com just announced their new t-shirt collaboration with Gama-go. The shirt sports the spawn of Boing Boing’s mascot- Jackhammer Jill- and Tim Biskup’s Deathbot. The results looks damn cool. The shirt will cost you $28 and comes in men’s sizes small through XXL. You can head over to the Gama-Go store and pick one up today.
