Huck Gee Interview Part 2.


Here is the second part of the interview.

Atropa Dunny by Jason Limon.


In Jason Limon’s post-apocalyptic Earth, humans have ravaged the planet, and plant life has found a way to make a drastic shift to survive. Atropa comes to fruition, and in abundance, consumes the planet.
They commandeer the bodies of remaining people and animals, blending mammal and plant to create a new life form. Body becomes seed, leaves become wings, and memories live on flowering vines. Atropa is the new life form, and the only one that can survive.
The new era begins April 26 at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers and is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide.


Atropa is a type of flowering plant, the name deriving from Atropos, the oldest of the three fates in Greek mythology that ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread.

Acid flow custom by "The Given"


When local artist decides to do a custom wow does he ! This amazing Piece was launched at The Toffie festival on 31.3.2012.
Before it was revealed it was sold to a client of mine as  for his 40 Birthday present.                                    Happy Birthday Elton.

"This piece started out as some fun for myself, getting back to my roots in graffiti and letting it come out more heavily in my vinyl work. I was quite happy to be creating a toy with only myself to please, but I must admit I was even happier when it ended up selling before it was even finished! "

Lovebirds Teal, Black, Purple & Orange Editions







If you missed out on the wedding edition then look what on their way.
In four alluring color editions – Teal, Black, Orange, and Purple – the Lovebirds by Kronk are the most affectionate animals to cozy up to vinyl. Packaged individually in an artist-designed box, each figure stands on its tail with its feet in the air, ready to connect with (or push away) any potential partners. Stellar on their own but perfectly complete when mated, the Lovebirds are both half and whole. Like yin and yang, macaroni and cheese, ice skaters and spandex – you will enjoy just one, and fall in love with two. Find a mate April 26 at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers worldwide.

April 9th is the opening date for nominations for " The Designer Toy Awards 2012



Clutter has just announced that nominations for the 2012 edition of the Designer Toy Awards will  use a two-tier process.  First, the public is invited to nominate  choices for the full list of award categories (after the jump), beginning on April 9th. Once that’s completed, nomination committees will cull the publicly nominated individuals, companies, toys, down to 10-15 nominees per award.   In my opinion, this is a definite improvement over last year’s system which resulted in voters having to choose between extremely large number of choices for some awards.    Look for announcement of the nominees at SDCC in July, followed by the DTA 2012 awards ceremony in October at NYCC.
