He has won lots of awards and his work can be found in almost every facet of society, from comics, murals, toys, prints, movies, music, magazines, books, t-shirts, commercials, posters, shoes, fine art, live demos etc. He says he wants to retire early, illustrate the entire bible and paint the entire Great Wall of China.

The Qee Italian tour several Italian fashion designers and brands including Roberto Cavalli, Emilio Pucci, and Lanvin were given the opportunity to express their ideas on these toys. They were auctioned off and all proceeds went to the Telethon Charity.

Created by Josh Longo. We are not sure the size of this one. For more pictures of his creations, check out his myspace page.

Plasticandplush.com has posted the new figures from Upper Playground and Ningyoushi. They present their second vinyl figure collectible, Lettus Bee, by Mel Bend creator and GIRL Skateboard creative director, Andy Jenkins. Lettus Bee, a comic character in Wrench Pilot, which was published in various skateboard magazines and hails as the ‘everyday guy’. He takes his fair share of fancy board tricks as well as gruesome falls. This vinyl figure captures Lettus Bee in action with a face plant and his skateboard suspended in the air with a wire. Lettus Bee retails for $100 and measures 10″ wide by 9″ tall (including skateboard). Limited to 500 pieces.

My attempt to buy the Shepard Fairey at kidrobot (see previous post) was a bust! Congrats to all who were able to get there hands on one.

You know you made it when you get an action figure made of yourself, but the next level is a lego! TV On The Radio(above) was created by Brickshelf, a site that showcases lego creations of almost anything possible.

Danish silversmith Kay Bojesen created this wooden rabbit as part of his collection of children’s toys made of durable teak wood back in 1951. His toy soldier, elephant, bear and monkey have prospered and multiplied. The rabbit, rather ironically, hasn’t.

One of the most recognizable street art icons today, Shepard Fairey scales up his contribution to the hugely popular LA DUNNY Series with this 8 inch giant! From the streets to your collection, the Obey Giant Dunny features the distinctive iconography of the classic posters, stickers, and stencils that have surfaced in urban hubs around the world.
