Plush Is Not a Crime: Say Hello to Jellyface

What do you get when you combine a surreal Stonehenge aesthetic with eco-aware plush as envisioned by two creative Italians? JELLYFACE, apparently. The missive from Joe (the graphic designer) and Fau (the dressmaker) hit my inbox out of nowhere, so I was surprised to see how thorough (and, frankly, awesome) a range of JELLYFACE products already exist. There are several patterned plushes that riff on current environmental concerns. My favorite, Jellywood, (I had to do a screengrab to show you below) namechecks San Francisco in its plight to preserve the forests.
Series 1 exists in an edition of 500 7.5-inch plushes, with a smaller (250 pieces) edition of larger 16.5-inchers on the way. They’ve also got custom JELLYFACE plushes, which you can customize and submit to them for a 2009 contest. Patterned plushes run ~53 USD and blanks are ~40 USD. They’ve also got a selection of special items, like JELLY DICEHEADS to hang from your rear view mirror. Fun stuff for sure. Not exactly items of necessity amidst a recession, but if the economy isn’t affecting you (yet), check these guys out and make me jealous.

JELLYFACE is a project between Joe, a graphic designer, and Fau, a creative dressmaker. The artistic duo based in Italy is making new characters and enjoying art-toys world since 2008. Their work is probably best described as a combination of surreal images, pop-culture and love for nature and disparate materials. Art-Toys are amazing and charming, they are what we are and, like a mirror, they reflect our society. Now Joe and Fau are working on the world of JELLYFACE creating and sewing a new plush family, 100% handcrafted. Pop in and be part of the family!

Sneak Peek Crappy Cat & FERG BUDS from Jamungo Series 3

Here's an exciting (at least to me ;p) sneak peek at a couple of upcoming BUDs for Series 3 by Jamungo - featuring a CrappyCat and a FERG-fig in BUD-form!

- The broken bottle in CrappyCat's paws will be "clear" in the final version.
- FERG's hoodie is tailored fabric! And the figure looks to be GID? (my unfounded speculation)
- As VanBeater mentioned on the Jamungo-forum, "BUDscribers" aka Jamungo-subscribers - will secure these guys.
- No further details as these are still in the prototype / WIP-stage, but hell they look exciting (but I said that already) *Cool*

Damien Hirst For Harley Davidson

Recently we have seen artist Damien Hirst work with several brands, including Supreme and Levi’s. The latest collaborative project was done together with Harley Davidson. The artist gave a Cross Bone and matching helmet the look of his famous spin paintings. Via GQ.

The motocorcylce was auctioned off last week for a good cause in Los Angeles. Check out the matching helmet in detail.

Natural Wood Pecanpals by Noferin Arrive May 5th

Noferin has announced a drop date for the previously teased Natural Wood Pecanpals: May 5th. The 6.5-inch figures are all 100% wood and hand-crafted with articulated joints. They will be limited to an edition of “300 friends.” In addition, Noferin adds:

Pecanpals are made from 100% sustainably harvested wood. They are made from rubber tree wood that would otherwise go to waste. Rubber trees are planted for their rubber, and after about 20 years, their rubber yields start to diminish. We use this beautiful wood, thus saving it from the fire pit.

No two Pecanpals look the same. They all have very unique markings due to the wood grain. Some are spotted, some have a marbled look, some are a mixture of the two. We are very pleased with these figures, and hope that you enjoy them too.

As if owning your own Pecanpal wasn’t enough joy, Noferin will reward folks who adopt a full set of figures with a hand-carved, hand-cut, hand-painted and hand-pressed wooden print. If you’re on the fence, remember: the painted pals sold out fast, and I’ve yet to read a single negative word about this series.

Some Ass For Your Desktop

I’ve seen a wide variety of completely extraneous USB peripherals designed to do nothing more than mildly entertain as they suck valuable electricity from your computer’s sparking, sad heart, but I think that things have reached a new pinnacle of bizarre excess when we’ve started to plug wiggling schoolgirl asses into our computing devices.

As spied over on the always entertaining and disturbing J-List, these $18 peripheral devices by Banpresto are simply and accurately translated to ‘USB Shaking Hip’, and currently come in two varieties : pink polka dots, and blue stripes (though I did see other colors elsewhere, if you’re really that particular).

And indeed, as evidenced by this YouTube video, they do shake around in a menacingly inhuman manner. Not even a suggestive gyration here - just a limbless rocking back and forth. I don’t even have any of my usual suggestions about what to pair this with to amplify its unique qualities. Unless, of course, you’re Armin Meiwes.

Check out his other stuff it looks really good. First time I have seen this artist.

About CopyRight
Copyright grew up on the mean streets of Bristol foraging for Panda Pop, Fizz Bombs and Cola Cubes and as a result spent many sugar fuelled nights scribbling on walls with the finest quality crayons. A natural talent for art soon developed and he gained fans quickly, his dad still has a fabulous collection of early works that would rival Saatchi and he was soon short listed for the well prestigious Tony Hart ‘Gallery’ and Blue Peter's 'Wall of Fame'.

After watching the bigger kids he soon dropped the crayons and picked up the spray can and the future as they say is history. Roses and Ladies started to spring up along the South Coast and as his work evolved it transferred from the streets to the galley and from walls to canvas.

Soon the magazines came knocking at his door but he stood firm he wouldn’t go topless no matter how much they offered. The remaining years have been filled with a move from East London back to his home city of Bristol, shows, prints and magazine features which don’t need to sit on the top shelf.

ZOMBAMA SECOND PRINT RUN & RINGLING SENIOR ART SHOW!

From Pop Monkey

Well, those of you sick to death of hearing about ZOMBAMA nonsense may as well tune out now. I'm heading down to Sunny Sarasota Florida later this week to help out with the second print run of my ZOMBAMA: BRAINS! shirts. About half of the planned run has already been claimed and paid for, so if you want to ensure yourself one of these puppies, contact me asap and I'll send you a paypal invoice and ship it to you immediately upon my return with the booty!

There are several other factors contributing to my trip down there. First and foremost is a driving need to just get the heck out of town for a few days and leave my troubles behind. I won't elaborate on that, but I need desperately to get my mind off "things" here, and this trip should do the trick. I need to learn more about the screenprinting procees itself, and actually participate in it, because it's obviously something I'm very interested in, and I feel I should know as much as possible about it considering shirt design seems to be the avenue I've been guided down lately. I'll be able to watch and learn and hang out with Kyle and Nick of Screenkillers Printing, and bring the finished haul back with me when all's said and done!

It's also a bit of providence that the Ringling School of Art and Design Senior Illustration Thesis Show will be held this coming Friday while I'm in town. I wanted to go down last year to see the show, which is always very interesting and bursting with promising talent, but I wasn't able to. So, I'm looking forward to taking in the show and meeting some of the talented students (and perhaps old instructors) at my alma mater. If any of the old Ringling crew who are reading this are going to be there as well, send me a note and let me know and I'll keep an eye out for you, and we can meet up and tell tales together.

I'm including a picture of me wearing one of the TeeFury print run of the Zombama shirt. We're going to reproduce this size, style and color as accurately as possible, so that should give you a good idea of what the finished product will look like.

Trent Reznor announces Relaxed camera policy for NIN/JA Tour defined

From Trent

In an effort to allow you to document your experience at the upcoming NIN/JA performances, we will be relaxing our photo/video policy (5/7/09 - 6/12/09 only). Fans will be permitted to bring in their personal cameras, video and audio recorders. This is not not an open door policy for any and all recording devices. Please try to use common sense as we are trying to ensure this experience is great for everyone attending. Don't show up with a television crew and a recording studio.
To be clear: this applies only to the North American NIN/JA tour.

Examples:

I have a nice SLR camera and lens and I want to shoot photos. YES.
I have a high-quality camcorder and want to record video / audio. YES.
I have a shoulder-mounted broadcast-quality video camera and want to shoot the show. NO.
I have a flash-based audio recorder with a stereo hand-held mic and want to record the show. YES.
I have a full Pro-Tools rig running off a generator and want to record the show. NO.
I don't have any recording devices but I'd kind of like to make out with Ilan. NO (probably).

The following guidelines will be enforced.

- Photo and video access is granted only for non-commercial private use.
- Photo and video access is limited to areas permitted by type of ticket held.
- NO access to barricade/photo pit.
- NO shoulder mounted video equipment allowed, all cameras must be hand held.
- NO equipment with a dimension longer than 20 inches (including cameras, lenses, etc.)
- NO equipment bags that violate existing venue bag policies (check with venue)
- NO external supports (tripods, monopods, steadicam mounts, mic stands, etc.)
- NO video or audio broadcast equipment (microwave, RF, etc.)
- NO external power equipment
- NO lighting equipment (mounted or secondary)

WHEN IN DOUBT, LEAVE IT AT HOME.

If you plan to take advantage of this relaxed policy, we recommend that you
do the following...
- Carefully review your equipment to ensure it meets these specs.
- Arrive early for possible security delays.
- If your equipment is so expensive and/or fragile that you'd freak out if something happened to it, leave it behind, we're not responsible.
- Do not interfere with anyone else's enjoyment of the show or create a hazard.

We will do our best to make sure venue security staff is aware of our camera policy. However, there are always going to be cases where local security misunderstands and attempts to enforce a stricter camera policy. This is unfortunately one of the hazards of attempting to be considerably more open about recording than most of the concert industry. If a security guard hassles you for equipment that is allowed under our guidelines, please ask him to speak with NIN security about the matter and we will do our best to resolve it.

Audio and video recorded at NIN/JA shows is for personal use only, and cannot under any circumstances be sold or used for profit in any way.

We Are Human art print poster By Shepard Fairey And Ernesto Yerena

From Shepard Fairey
I am an immigrant. My ancestors left England and Scotland to come to this land to create a better life for themselves and their families. America is a land of immigrants. Ironically, the people’s who this land was inhabited by before “Americans” were Native Americans North and South American descent. I bring up this history not to stir up controversy or animosity, but to simply point out the complexity of who is entitled to live here. Something that is not complex and should not be controversial is the right of all humans to be treated like humans. People coming to America for the same reasons our ancestors did deserve human rights. The United States was created by immigrants and now our country needs immigration reform. I collaborated on this project with my co-worker Ernesto Yerena who shot the photos and helped with the graphics. Zack De La Rocha and Producciones Cimarron provided input and support. All the proceeds from these posters go to creating materials for the May Day marches and donations for immigration reform organizations. Thanks for supporting human rights!
-Shepard

Alex Pardee New CHADAM ANIMATED SERIES Video! Secret Voices Revealed!

From Alex

I know I haven't recently mentioned the CHADAM ANIMATED SERIES that I have
been working on for almost 2 years now, but that's only because all of the
exciting stuff I am forced to keep secret. Anyway, a handful of secrets that
I have been almost to the point of physically leaking out of my pores has
been unleashed like the Krakken today, courtesy of my favorite sci-fi blog,
io9. I will not bore you with the details, but i WILL tell you that after
you check this out, you should know that these 2 days of production were one
of, if not THE, coolest days of my professional life. Seriously. I
simultaneously shook, drooled, and smiled like Miley the entire 48 hours. Go
check it out, more updates soon. Chadam is going to rule the school. The
team that is producing it and slaving over it is incredible!

We've got an exclusive clip of the voice talent for Alex Pardee's Chadam recording their parts. Jeffrey Combs, Katey Sagal, and Carl Weathers all lend their vocal stylings to bring the eerie world to life.

The trippy little web series, soon to have a home at the WB.com, is being created using Unreal Engine (which is responsible for such gorgeous video games as Bioshock). The story follows a blockheaded boy, Chadam, who has the glandular power to change the world with his super-imagination. The amazing Jeffrey Combs plays the evil villain, Viceroy. The creep-fest of delightfully spooky characters comes from the mind of Alex Pardee, and we can't wait to see more. Until then, this video, and a screenshot from the actual series, will have to do.
