eboy Concrete Hermit: eBoy exhibition 9th May   30th June

It’s getting told about events like this that make me wish that I lived down in ‘that London,’ (although scenery like this usually makes up for it).

Straight from their mailout:

eBoy, the innovative and seminal pixel art pioneers are exhibiting at Concrete Hermit in May. eBoy is a pixel art group founded in 1998 by Steffen Sauerteig, Svend Smital and Kai Vermehr. From their Berlin studio they create re-usable pixel objects and take them to build complex and extensible artwork. Their work makes intense use of popular culture and commercial icons, and their style is presented in three-dimensional illustrations filled with robots, cars, guns and girls. Their unique style has gained them a cult following among graphic designers worldwide, and they have worked with among others, named brands and companies such as Coca-Cola, MTV, VH1, Adidas, and Honda. They were also involved in creating the album cover for Groove Armada’s 2007 studio album Soundboy Rock.

Entire cityscapes, rich in detail have been created for London, New York, Berlin, Tokyo and this exhibition sees the latest city to get the eBoy unique visionary panoramic treatment: Los Angeles.

There will also be a chance to see the development of the Peecols – eBoy’s series of toys. These innovative toys have become highly collectable, and there will be the rare opportunity to see the Blockbob prototypes and special limited editions of the figures. Exclusive eBoy prints, t-shirts and products will be available at the exhibition.

The eBoy exhibition runs from 9th May – 30th June. Concrete Hermit Gallery, 5a Club Row, London, E1 6JX. Open 10am – 6pm Tuesday-Sunday.

Space Invaders x 55DSL 30th Anniversary T-shirt

by Andy on April 30, 2008

in T-shirts

55dslspaceinvtee.jpg

My love of Space Invaders (mostly in its mosaic street-art form) is hardly a secret, I think its pretty amazing that there is a game out there that’s still popular, despite being older than I am, as Space Invaders is 30 years old, and 55DSL are celebrating this by releasing a t-shirt based upon the enduring arcade-classic.

It’s a very limited edition tee, seeing as it is only going to be on sale at a few retail locations around the world (list available on the 55DSL site), but the tee is being launched at the 55DSL store in New York tonight (April 30th) between 7pm and 9pm. Yup, that is pretty damned limited. I’ve attached the flyer for the event (beer is mentioned, not sure if its free or not!) as a thumbnail so that you can get the details if you’re interested, because I think you might need to RSVP. A game has been commissioned just for this event as well, which I’ve embedded below. Bizarrely, the game is not based on the original game, but does use the official characters.


The tee itself.is pretty cool, a kind of ASCII take on the 55DSL logo made up of a typical scene from the game. No word on price, but its probably fair to assume that this won’t be going for $10.

Barack is the Future by Sons of Liberty @ Karmaloop

barfutm blazoom1 Barack is the Future by Sons of Liberty @ Karmaloop

I saw this tee and laughed, I think that’s enough to make it worthy of a post. I’m a sucker for mashups and parodies, and whoever thought of putting a political slant onto ‘Back to the Future’ had a pretty bright idea.It really does seem as if Obama has wrapped up the vote of graphic designers in America, I see a lot more Obama tees than Clinton tees (no McCain ones at all…), and the Barack fans are usually better designed as well.

Review: Resolution by Social T

30.04.2008

HYAs latest advertiser, Social T, sent a couple of tees over recently, which is great because it gave me a chance to make sure that I was still advertising a quality product, because I want you guys to trust the people that I let advertise on this site. I think it says a lot about [...]

The Arrow St Hood by Ucon

29.04.2008

You can always spot a continental European streetwear company a mile off, can’t you? They just have a certain look and style, usually pretty simple styling, which somehow manages to be both loud and subdued at the same time, even though that is a complete oxymoron. Ucon, a Berlin-based streetwear label, are more on the [...]

Owl Movement: Series 7 – Lines and Diagrams

29.04.2008

Owl Movement released their seventh range about a week ago and I somehow managed to miss it despite receiving a couple of e-mails about the collection, so my apologies about that. Its a solid range of four new pieces, with some recognisable names doing the design work, none of which have produced designs for OM [...]

Executioners by Freshjive @ Karmaloop

29.04.2008

It’s not often that you see a hoodie which has shoulder straps on it, in fact I don’t think I can’t recall ever seeing one, which makes this hoodie from Freshjive quite the novelty. Other than the shoulder straps it is a fairly simple hoodie, with the exception of ‘Freshjive’ being written on the lower [...]

Review: Hand of Prey by Your Eyes Lie

29.04.2008

It’s always fun to get mail from unexpected places, and Thailand is one of those places. I’m pretty used to receiving mail from America by now, but the far East is still something of a novelty for me in terms of mail, and even though I know that Your Eyes Lie are a UK/Thai operation, [...]
