SHOWstudio partners with NIKE to challenge established and emerging artists, designers and creatives to devise new work inspired by the relationship between art and football.

An “unofficial” unveiling of the Agyness mannequin was held by Mao PR at the Rootstein Mannequin Gallery. One of the best resources for custom made mannequins in the world. The first time I went there I was in utter awe, it was better than going to the wax museum, kind of eery in the same way but phenomenal executions of the most realistic looking mannequins I have ever seen.

Agyness joins other model notables who’ve had their features eternalized such as Twiggy, Pat Cleveland, Erin O’Connor, Jade Parfitt and Karen Mulder. – Photo MDC

Just really like this kind of Street Art
Seen on 9th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues: Pixel graffiti. The piece was tagged at little while later. ( soo Sad ) That would be cool to see this kind of graffiti popping a little bit everywhere…

Kitsune Noir is launching The Wallpaper Project, with eleven wallpapers up already—and a new one added every Wednesday morning—you should be able to find something you’ll want behind your icons… check out the projects here, you can of course download them for free and even propose some to them…

Flying Back from NY yesterday, I was flipping through the American Airlines Magazine and found an article on LEGO Sculptor Nathan Sawaya, which lead me into my next nap and a whole new set of dreams. Like many of us Sawaya had a childhood obsession with LEGO’s, possible the most brilliant toy ever invented, but his obsession exceeded his childhood and led him into the career of a lifetime. Shortly after he had started to produce and document these sculptures in 2000, Sawaya was recognized and hired by LEGO as a master sculptor. This was a short lived career since it only took him a few months to realize that he did not need LEGO to continue this passion and work. He was being commissioned pieces from all over the world, which were selling for up to $65,000. As my nap continued I dreamt of a couture collection of tailored garments that I would commission Sawaya to produce for a private exhibition in Dubai. So if this inspires you like it did me you can contact Nathan Sawaya, LEGO master through his website, Brick Artist.

Super cool Poster from artist / Illustrator Bob Staake

I would love to know, (if you heard of it ?) where the paintings are for sale and if they are being exhibited anywhere?

Following the work of Henrik Vibskov has been a great inspiration for me.
Whenever I am feeling discouraged by the lack of ideas and presence of
new designers I turn to the Virtual World of Henrik Vibskov. The image
above is from an installation called “LAND OF BLACK CARROTS”. It was
built for the exhibition of his AW0708 Collection in Paris at Galerie Richard.
Henrik is able to add a dimention of fantasy to his design that pulls the viewers
into a world he has created. The clothing is just an accessory to that fantasy.
To see the video and other images visit the link above.

TOFER OPENS HIS INSTALLATION AT THE HUNDREDS SHOP AND BLOWS OUR MIND WITH HIS SERENE AND SO WELL EXECUTED TRANSPORTATION OF TIME AND PLACE. THE INSTALLATION IS JUXAPOSED WITH HIS BEAUTIFULLY SUBTLE CLOUD PRINTED T-SHRITS. IT WAS A GREAT EXPOSITION OF ARTISTIC PROCESS. IT T OOK TOFER TWO WEEKS TO COMPLETE HIS INSTALLATION AND IT WILL BE UP FOR TILL JUNE, SO BE SURE TO STOP BY THE HUNDREDS AND CHECK IT OUT.
