The biggest Super Moon since the 1940s is rising on November 14. That seems like enough justification to pick up this three-pack of notebooks by Field Notes. At first glance, it looks like these just have graphics of the moon on the covers. But the covers are actually die-cut, revealing the moon underneath. This is what creates the full moon, half moon, and crescent moon effect. Very cool! The...

Blast from the past! There have been murmuring (and a few leaked images) of some new Teddy Troops by Flying Fortress and Artoyz. Today we finally got the full reveal of two 3 inch blank Troops. The first is a slightly modified version of the original Teddy Troop while the second features a helmet shaped like a can of spray paint. And that second one packs a little surprise; you can add a spray...

I wasn't able to make it to the opening of Andrea Kang's show at P!Q Grand Central this past weekend, but I knew that I had to check it out.

Remember those giant Swatches from the '80s and '90s that you could hang on the wall? Well, Swatch still makes 'em! And Lunartik has created his own Swatch Maxi for a a group show titled Time Warped. Hosted at Berlin's Oslo Kaffebar, each participant has created their own art clock. That makes me assume that this is a one-off custom by JOnes, but I'll still hold out hope for an official...

You've seen Cleon Peterson's Balance of Power before, but not like this. Case Studyo have collaborated with the artist to create a 3D version of the painting rendered in glossy, white porcelain. Standing six inches tall and 12 inches wide, the early November release - depicting two barbarians attacking one another - is, in a word, topical. Balance of Power...

Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty is likely the most popular network cartoon aimed at adults currently on air. I hear people referencing the show while I’m just walking in public. So it’s a bit surprising that there are so few toys featuring Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s absurd characters. J!NX is fixing that with a new series of Rick and Morty plushies, though.

Miami artist Chris Pyrate is following up his Three Eyed Kaiju designer toy with Luck Katju, an amalgum of symbols for prosperity and Japanese kaiju. "The inspiration behind the Lucky Katju stems from two main sources: my love for old school Kaiju films and Manekki-Neko (A.K.A. Lucky Cats). When I first came up with the idea, I was really into studying different...

Ah, such soothing colors. This might be my favorite Uamou series since the Tengu and Cobalt series, which had an amazing matte finish. These ones, though, feature calming gradients painted by legendary airbrush artist, Goto-san.

Pink to purple and blue to green gradients are showcased on the Uamou, Fortune Uamou, and...
