Juri Geller x Donald Duck

April 14, 2011 - by Nick
Check out these outstanding sculptures from Jiri Geller. Really random, but beautifully produced and painted up in various guises - Donald Duck has never looked so good. Apparently Jiri Gellers work often takes characters from popular culture but i must admit i am not familiar with the artists work. Spotted these over on [mashkulture] and thought they had a real Bounty Hunter kinda feel to them.

Big Trouble in Little China show - Dragatomi

April 13, 2011 - by jim
Dragatomi, Sacramento's signature designer toy shop and gallery, has single-handedly put California's capital city on the map as a mecca for Designer Toys and related art. This month, they're hosting a great new art show - a tribute to the John Carpenter-directed camp classic Big Trouble in Little China. I attended the opening festivities this past Saturday, April 9 - I'm happy to report that it's a GREAT show - solid artwork all around with a great blend of established artists (Alex Pardee, Skinner, Mark Nagata), solid toy customizers (Leecifer, TASK One, Dril One) and emerging new talent. The opening party was buzzing with energy, with a lot of artists in attendance. It was well worth the two-hour trek east from the Bay Area - I look forward to the next show on Dragatomi's calendar! Here's a quick report-back, be sure to check out the full image gallery for more pics, too.

Daft Punk TRON RAH figures

April 11, 2011 - by Nick
Medicom and Daft Punk have a long and succesful history together from the selection of 12" RAH figures and the Be@rbricks of various sizes that they have produced. At the end of 2010, beginning of 2011 we saw the Bearbrick versions of these TRON edition figures so it was only a matter of time before their release...

Amazing Paper Artwork by Julien Vallée

April 11, 2011 - by miranda
I recently stumbled across this awesome Paper Artwork by Julien Vallée, a graphic designer / art director from Montreal. He doesn't exclusively use paper in his work, but its one of his favorite mediums due to its versatility and his use of it blows my mind. He really specializes in hand crafted materials, and has worked with clients including MTV, The New York Times and Computer Arts. Amazing work, if you get the chance go check him out!
