Its abstract, artistic as hell, a lil twisted... and its a toy.

You can find some pretty unique stuff on the internet these days. A lot of it is garbage, some of it is far from the real deal, few things compare to the creativity and absurdity of the designs for sale at Big Cartels': Toy Art Gallery. The name sounds direct and simple enough but this store has gathered up some of the craziest toys you've ever seen. They're really much more akin to abstract statues or enemy creatures taken directly from a bizarre cartoon or video game. Whatever the case, these toys are really cool just to look. Many almost resemble 3D graffiti characters. the toys are all made in limited quantity and often only one-per-piece. The price tag on them expresses the time an thought put into each character and the ticket tends to be high. Affordable for you or not, check em out and let us know what you think. I'll be hunting for other shops within the genre (if u can call absurd toys a genre?) and posting on them in the future. This lil fella' right here is called "Buff Moster" DestroyerCon. edition, and he's only partly distracted by the idea of consuming your soul...

Tony Thompson: Paint Prodigy

For an urban artist 'jack-of-all-trades,' look no further. Tony Thompson of Utica, NY does it all. Give him a couple cans of spray paint, or a few markers, and he will create some truly dope artwork, on..anything. Really, ANYTHING. One of his specialties are his hand-painted hats. The blank hats go from a simplistic, blank canvas to something creative and eye-catching. Wanna hook up something fresh for the ladies this weekend? Thompson also does awesome custom work, just in case you need something one-of-a-kind. His expertise doesn't end at painting walls and hats. Thompson has experience designing t-shirts for JohnnyRags, a local clothing company. With graphics for men and women, you're guaranteed to find something that you love. Follow-up posts on Thompson are a definite, check out the rest of his collection at the link below:

Extreme Uni-What?

When it comes to extreme sports, several things come to mind. Skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX, and so on. But, there's been a growing interest in the underground sport of extreme unicycling. Yes, unicycling. And, if you think that involves an occasional bunny-hop, you're dead wrong. These cyclists pull off mind-bending feats with truly extreme tricks. So, next time you go for a ride on your bicycle, hop a curb and feel like a champion, keep these guys in mind.

Kawa's 'Thrash Nasty' Designs

From band tee's to promotional fliers, Bob Kawa can do it all. As one of the creative minds behind Thrash Nasty, a design team based in Central New York, Kawa is no stranger to producing truly interesting graphics. Specializing in t-shirts, Kawa's designs focus on intricate geometric patterns, as well as gutsy details that will guarantee a double take. Showing nothing but pure talent and creativity, I can't wait to see what he will come up with next. Follow-up posts are a definite, since his designs keep getting better and better.

Small beating packs a punch

Small Beating; creatively doing damage in the underground . This is a small skate deck and tee brand to keep an eye on. They have released a total of only 7 decks this season on Big Cartel but every one of them is absolutely fresh. The graphics range from extremely silly to a much more aggressive mainstream feel. Check out the decks. There's a good chance I'll be posting updates and more details about these guys in the near future.

Brutal baby breakdancing

I realize the video is a lil bit twisted but embrace the hilarity... A break dancer accidentally destroys this child mid-performance. This is the price paid for too many poorly made and overdone dance movies. Luckily the girl was okay. Lets hope nobody starts break dancing at a school prom someday. Fight or Flight will be her only options.
