Cheeky Monkey DIY blank - by Huck Gee

Huck Gee's new DIY platform Cheeky Monkey will be dropping May 31st at noon PST. This Resin figure is only 4 inches tall, is hand pulled in the USA, and has a rude gesture on both hands. the Left hand sports the middle finger and the right hand has the PC British television version of the same sentiment. No thats not a peace sign, when the back of the hand is facing you, that's a big F you. Haven't you ever watched the Young Ones or read an original Tank Girl comic book?

Suckord VS Kozik - The Meeting of the Minds

Sucklord gets raked over the coals and schooled by the formidable force of punk rock nihilism tempered by corporate realities known as Frank Kozik.

All the while a mysteriously beautiful cat with tragic injuries keeps attacking the cameras and knocking the host and subject out of frame.

So be prepared for that, and a room tone marred by a lack of wall decor that causes a very distractable echo as you witness two very disparaging personalities knock skulls in a very entertaining way. And as usual pussy gets between them.

You might learn something, or you might end up even more confused. Ether way, its not like you have something better to do than this, so just admit that fact and witness this conflagration of brain matter.

Emblem of an Abstract Riot no.2 - by Patrick Wong

I have a new Pop Surrealism sculpture release available starting today entitled "Emblem of an Abstract Riot no.2". It's the followup to the Mickey Mouse inspired version first released back in 2015.
The phrase "emblem of an abstract" comes from the essay "On the Rights of the Molotov Man" published back in 2007 in Harper's Magazine. It discusses copyright and appropriation in the art world. At the time I had been threatened with a copyright infringement lawsuit and this topic was close to home. The "Emblem of an Abstract Riot" sculpture originally was a reaction to the lawsuit.
"Emblem of an Abstract Riot no.2" measures 6 x 6 x 3.75 inches. Available to order through the webshop http://patrickwong.bigcartel.com, the handcrafted resin art-multiples are priced at $200 and available for a limited time.

Artist Ripped Off Again - RATO KIM

 

 The up and coming global star of the Designer Toy World,  Rato Kim is the latest victim of some big company stealing their Creation and selling it without License or Permission.

We have seen this happen to Evan Dorkin and his Milk and Cheese characters who were copied and dropped into vending machines across America recently. Along with countless others. There are blogs devoted entirely to this practice, so feel free to dig deeper into this practice.

Yeah, kinda obviously a Rato Kim toy design.

The company will get no hype from us, so don't expect a link to them here. But this is obviously a character design from the BOXCAT line of hand made toys, specifically, BreadCat. Once again, instead of just hiring the artist and making their goods official, they choose to flat out jack this kids creativity and give them no credit.

This is how the corporate establishment chooses to conduct itself. On one hand they steal creativity right off the streets, on the other hand they try to threaten Creatives for their Transformative Works based on existing properties. Often blended together homages known as Mash Up art.

In Rato Kim's case she has just received Nominations from the Designer Toy Awards for several categories including Toy Artist Of the Year. Since she is known across the world already they wont be getting away with anything, this will only serve to bring Rato Kim more hype.

Alas this is only one of her ever expanding line of characters that make up the BOXCAT line of toys. So its not like it's going to stop her.

The Artist Statement paraphrased roughly;
"This is not official Breadcat, it's a fake. I am very very angry. Do not buy it."


UPDATE: you can give the bad company a piece of your mind by email HERE: janet@homekacrafts.com

Inappoprition - by Jason Freeny

Here we have a source of art world controversy during the last 30 days.

What we see here is a typical anatomy breakdown by Jason Freeny, Anatomical Artist since 2000. Herein we get to see what the insides of the KAWS Companion looks like when it matches up to the character itself, and is not merely concerned with ripping on a Damien Hirst sculpture, ripped from a John LaKay sculpture, ripped from a German toy company.

This blog post author cant wait to see this item going into unauthorized production ASAP. No permission is needed and none should be asked for. Culture always builds upon the Past. And nothing is immune to reinterpretation by Creatives.

"Animal Instincts" - by JFury x Playful Gorilla

In our most vivid dreams we stare into the vastness of why we create and question it all. Unbridled talent being held down with the chains of life, begging for just one chance. When brute strength and shear brawn is broken it leads to one path. A path down the road of pure exhaustion and failure. It is here where we must take all the negativity around us and see life through the eyes of cartoony colored glasses. It is here where we must depend on our spirit animal, our inner Gorilla or Voodoo Bunny. Sometimes all we have left to fight the good fight is pure Animal Instincts.

JFury and Playful Gorilla Proudly Present: “Animal Instincts” will feature new artworks by both artists. A unique combination of toy customisation, illustration, painting and resin casting these two established artists bring a cartoon style full of clean lines and bright colors. Known for goofy animal character aesthetic, “Animal Instincts” will combine the Voodoo Bunny, Pitbull, Gorilla and Primate artwork of both artists on multiple mediums. The show opening is being held at Mothership Art Gallery and Designer Toy Store, 223 W. Girard, on May 5th, 2017 between 6pm - 9pm. The will be an after party hosted by DJ Emynd at The Barbary, 951 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125. Please contact Alex (playfulgorilla@gmail.com) to be added to the guest list. After the show opening on the 5th all remaining artwork will be found online at www.mothershipgallery.com. With door prizes, a 20” Munny raffle, drinks, snacks and free hugs, this show will almost guarantee you a great time!

Peace from the Gorilla Cave!

DUALLE - DRAVOKKI Grimreapers - by WhaleRabbit

DUALLE - DRAVOKKI "Grimreapers" by WhaleRabbit

The next in the series of DUALLE, comes an outcast of the Dravokki clan. 'Grimreapers' are the sullied name given to those whom have taken the blood of one of their own.

This madness of betraying one's kin for pleasure or for purpose, it is unknown.. But lore records that this sickness devours the soul within.

Whispers heard that a glimmer of their old selves take punishment by slowly driving trinkets into their faces, always in markings of threes..

Soon.. something calls into the hollowed Dualle, it wonders into the beyond in search of 'others'..
