Posted by Khoi, October 5, 2010

If you collect prints, you’re probably used to pressing a few buttons on your favorite artist’s website and having art show up at your door a few days later in a (hopefully uncrushed) tube. But do you have any idea how your prints are made or how much effort was put into each piece? Well, attendees of Baby Tattooville this year now do. At the Secret Society gathering, guests were treated to a special screenprinting demonstration by Andy from Diesel Fuel Prints and had the […]

Openings: Jean-Pierre Roy – “A Rational Spectacle” @ Rare Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, October 5, 2010

Jean Pierre Roy kicked off Rare Gallery’s art season with a breath taking show. The exhibition entitled “A Rational Spectacle” is a series of works based off of Thomas Jefferson’s statement: “the light which has been shed on the mind of man through the civilized world has given it a new direction from which no human mind can divert it.” This quote used in the context of today’s geopolitics of global energy needs vs. the fixed constraints of planetary resources is the fabric which Jean […]

Kaws recently opened his “Passing Through” exhibition in Tsim Sha Tsui at the popular Harbour City complex in Hong Kong. The show appears to be a semi-retrospective (see pics a full retrospective here) featuring many of his classic as well as new art figures, sure to be a hit among his many collectors in Asia.

Releases: Jeff Soto – The Deek @ NYCC

Posted by lowpro, October 3, 2010

Veteran new contemporary artist and occasional vinyl toy architect Jeff Soto is set to release his newest vinyl creation next Saturday, October 9th at NY Comic Con. Hot on the heels of his Seeker figure recently released at SDCC (covered), The Deek is the next release in the KidRobot Black line, a series of one-off, uber-limited figures sharing a common monochromatic color palette. Standing 6.5″ tall and limited to 150 pieces, the sculpt teased by KR looks to be a bolder, perhaps more enraged relative […]

Posted by marcus, October 3, 2010

Mission Inn’s notorious catacombs, once an underground museum that led mainly to Mt. Rubidoux and the nearby Riverside Evergreen Cemetery, had long been entirely closed off to the public. Baby Tattooville attendees were lucky enough to be the first group gained admission to these catacombs at Baby Tattooville 2009. This year, members of Baby Tattooville 2010 were also given the chance to visit the catacombs. Yet, this time the experience was a bit more relaxed, involving life sketching and complimentary ice cream. The decor in […]
