Teddy Troop by Honk

In recent months, KR forum members have been treated to a mountain of jawdropping custom dunnys by art director, Honk.

This time Honk tackles the canvas of the Teddy Troop. Teddy troops just make me drool, so any TT custom gets in my good books, but this one deserves a good book all to itself! Perfect execution. It’s just jam packed with detail, and the colours are spot on! I love the aged white colour of the octopus style character :thumb:
Look out for Honk’s work on display at El Kartel in the future.More HONK custom work here.

Neth Creatures

“Neth creatures is a project that has been in development for over two years. The Series 1 collection comprises nine unique figures in three forms and three different styles: Natural, Brushed and Flora. All the figures share a common metal center piece that allows the tops, bottoms and arms of all figures to be interchanged.”Click the image for a nice hi res look at these things! We first saw these a few monthes back at the SDCC. They really stand out amongst the other vinyl at the moment, and it’s always great when you have the option of changing parts and creating your own characters. Never a dull day now! From what I hear, they are priced quite reasonably too! Doh… if only I had a job and some money! :fight:

Sarah Lucas at Tate Liverpool

Ok, so she isn’t everybodies cup of tea, but in my opinion She is one of the only remaining YBA’s who still produces great work.

Her new solo exhibition at the Tate Liverpool is the first of it’s kind in the UK.

I made the trip to Liverpool on Sunday to check it out, and I really do recommend it! If I remember rightly, there were 4 large rooms dedicated to the exhibition, so there is quite a collection of work there!

Burgerman – Wipeout Pure Advertising

Designers Neil McFarland (Paris Hair) and Jon Burgerman were asked to create art inspired by the game Wipeout Pure to be used in the print ads for the U.K. launch of Sony’s PSP.

The pieces created are based on the race tracks each of them designed for gamers to download on the PSP and use in Wipeout Pure.

Expect an update when the tracks are released.
