Whoop! I'm lookin forward to this show here in the UK! Especially cos i'm in it :P The Hang Gang store in Leeds has put together this great line up for the Icons show all customising 400% and 1000% Bearbricks.

The lineup includes the likes of Pete Fowler, Jon Paul Kaiser, SourBones (thats me :P), Okkle, Matt Lunartik JOnes, Guy McKinley, Mimic, Robotboy, Drew Millward, Hugh Rose, Mr Gauky, Squink!, Matthew Bromley, Map Map, A Little Stranger, Stuart Witter, Tom J Newell, The Tarantulas, Godmachine, Drilone, Run DMB & Bruno Orbit.

‘Icons’ is the debut show from The Hang Gang – The Visual Culture Outlet. They have gathered together the best of british toy customisers, from legends such as Pete Fowler and Matt Lunartik JOnes to nu-school stars Jon Paul Kaiser, Squink and Map Map, for a group event of immense proportions. Also by special invitation we have US super talent Drilone and from Germany, the awesome Bruno Orbit. The Anchoring theme of the show is simply ‘Icons’ and we have left how that’s interpreted firmly in the hands and minds of the artists.

This will be one hell of a party, besides the art exhibition there will be live painting from the likes of Guy McKinley, Hugh Rose and Tom J Newell. Music will be provided by upcoming, Leeds indie pop band, Escort Knights and brining his eclectic mix of party grooves is J.Cub, head honcho of E.A.R Recordings. There will be tons of giveaways, a fully licensed bar, pop up store and much more.

All the pieces from the show will be available to purchase on the night on a first come, first served basis. So if you want to snag something by your favourite artist they suggest you get down early. Any remaining customised artworks will be available via their online store: www.thehanggang.co.uk after the exhibition has finished. Read More

    OK, to be honest, I don't get the hype. Every year, Japanese fashion brand UNDERCOVER teams up with Medicom to produce a new variant of their GILAPPLE light. It's a small, realistic-looking apple with an old-timey car headlight wedged into its core.
