Foox interviewed in Creem about his New Money show

by
I had the distinct pleasure of attending the opening night party of Foox's New Money show at a hidden back bar in the ridiculously swank Beautique next to The Plaza and the Fifth Ave Apple store.

This was the first time in my life I was escorted into hidden lounge literally through the kitchen... One of those quintessentially New York "Baller Moments" you only see in movies.

When I tell you that Foox operates at the next level, this is why. 

Check his short but sweet interview in Creem Magazine here: 

VIDEO: Nerdirt covers Giant Robot's Super Awesome art show at Oakland Museum of CA

by
Our buddy Jasin heads over to the Oakland Museum of California to check out the fairly epic "Super Awesome" art show curated by Giant Robot (Eric Nakamura), featuring a ton of talented artists that Giant Robot has been working with over the years. Video below:



Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of groundbreaking alternative art and culture magazine Giant Robot, OMCA features the major exhibition, SuperAwesome: Art and Giant Robot featuring works by 15 contemporary artists who have been a part of the magazine's social and cultural evolution. Co-curated by Giant Robot visionary Eric Nakamura and OMCA's Associate Curator of Art & Material Culture Carin Adams, SuperAwesome presents new or recent works by California and international-based artists affiliated with the influential magazine that brought Asian, trans-Pacific popular culture to mainstream audiences in the United States.

Artworks in the exhibition represent a range of mediums, including mural art, sculpture, illustration, portraiture, large-scale installations, graphic novels, photography, and more. Featured artists include:

Ako Castuera
Sean Chao
David Choe
Luke Chueh
Hamburger Eyes
Andrew Hem
James Jean

Kozyndan
Masakatsu Sashie
Shizu Saldamando
Rob Sato
Amy Sol
Deth P Sun
Adrian Tomine


Over the past 20 years, the Giant Robot brand has expanded to include retail stores and galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, a restaurant, museum and gallery exhibitions, and a popular website. It has also become an important outlet for a generation of emerging artists, several of whom have achieved mainstream success—such as Adrian Tomine, whose work has graced many New Yorker covers, and James Jean, whose is best known for his work for Prada, ESPN, and Atlantic Records.

SuperAwesome connects to OMCA's other spring exhibition Vinyl: The Sound and Culture of Records through programs and in-gallery experiences celebrating how a range of communities comes together to create shared popular culture.

Eldritch Embryo x We Become Monsters

by

A mess of evil and eyeballs, the Eldritch Embryos are here! The future of our dimension may depend on you purchasing and destroying one of these evil little bundles of potential before they can reach maturity. Or keep them around and suffer their influence upon your every action, and the inevitable deterioration of your mind.

There are 10 in this first batch and no more than 50 will be made overall. They come in an assortment of random colors (GID/clear/glitter/????) and are hand cast and articulated (at 'neck'). They stand 3.5 inches tall and are cast in resin. These are definitely not for children and are available now for $28 a piece at We Become Monster's webstore.

All orders get a free micro SLAB, stickers, (while supplies last) and entered for random drawings to get a full size WBM SLAB. SLABs are the waste reduction program that turns waste resin into art. Liking their facebook also adds another chance for a large size SLAB.
