Kidrobot Heads South of The Border

So I finally had the chance to check out the new Dunny series by Kidrobot and was pleasantly suprised with a few of the pieces.
Entitled Azteca, the new line has provided a great platform to showcase some serious design talent coming out of Mexico today.
Curated by Headquarter in Mexico City, the Azteca Dunny series showcases some of the hottest names in Mexican art, fashion, graphic design, music, and industrial design. The brightly colored series captures the creative passion of MexicoÕs artistic community. The objective of the series was to bring to the surface the very essence of Mexican street arts, underground culture, and diverse history.
Artists featured in this series include:
Artemio, Beast Brothers, Carlos Dufour, Ed Sison, El Muerto, Jenkah, Saner DSR, v.m.06, Queque Rangel, Mocre, Kraken and N.A.H.U.A.L.
Pound for pound this is actually a solid grouping of designs that for me is up there with the Los Angeles Series. Be sure to check out Kidrobot's site for more images.

Sticking it to the man....well actually the wall.

For those of you not buying into this wallpaper revival (you'll all regret this down the road!!) will surely appreciate the alternative brought to you by Pop Cling.
Their peel and stick adhesive art is a great way to revamp a space without committing to a future bitch fest of scraping off old wallpaper.
Pop Cling reproduces art. All kinds of art. For the moment, that mostly means adhesive-backed art that you can peel off and stick to any smooth surface. Some people stick our prints on concrete floors, or on sliding glass doors leading to balconies, or right on the walls behind couches. You don’t need a frame, you just need a blank space. Voila, you have fresh pop art on your wall from new, favorite, and cutting edge artists.
Seen above is Albany, California artist Attaboy's contribution. Detail after the jump.

1 1/2 Year anniversary beauty contest

OK so this is a somewhat late find, but still worth the posting.
Back in August'06 designer Emil Kozak celebrated his 1 1/2 year anniversary of Emil Kozak - Barcelona designstudio by inviting fellow designers to cusomize a blank mannequin-photo. The results were both varied and inspiring with a few standout gems.
Apart from those that are posted here, you can check out Kozaks top 3 winners at his site. Enjoy!

Evil Now Comes in Pink

I was made to be unfeeling. A machine. We were bred as a workforce toward Dero ends. We were given no names, only numbers. I am called ‘129’. This was sufficient. I have been worker, henchman, butcher, hunter and terrorist. And now I am ‘traitor’.
There is a dangerous game of rebellion being played beneath the world, Vincent. And my hand weighs heavily in it...”
And with that intro STRANGEco prepares to release the latest effort from rock poster artist Jermaine Rogers.
Standing at a commanding height of 11 inches Veil: Specimen 129 is Rogers newest installment to his successful Dero series.
Slated for release February 2007.
