Kenny Wongs Copperhead18 Figure 2008-03-09 06:26:48 Kenny Wong has just given us some teaser shots of his new figure, Dr. Cube. This amazingly detailed 1:6 figure comes with beautifully rendered diving helmet and of course, a range of accessories that beggars belief. Usually, I'm not too into 12 inch figure but Kenny of Brothersworker is one of the few that make me really go wow....(I just dont get how he can afford to create these hyper-detailed accessories like the blowtorch, hammer and wiring for it!)

Interesting Building Design 2008-03-15 17:07:21 The Dancing House in the Czech Republic is the nickname given to an office building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by Croatian-born Czech architect Vlado Milunic in co-operation with Canadian architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot.This unique piano house was built recently in An Hui Province, China. Inside of the violin is the escalator to the building. The building displays various city plans and development prospects in an effort to draw interest into the recently developed area.

Radioactive Marnon 2008-03-15 16:48:44 I don't normally post about Kaiju toys, cos it's a whole other world of collecting that I'm too scared to delve into. However, this Dream Rocket X Rotofugi Marnon version I found HERE really stuck out to me.I love the details on Radioactive
Marnon's head, with the brains coming through and his fingertips have some wicked internal detailing too. Marnon's back is covered in lost souls with his tail made from the bottom soul puking its wretched guts out! A brilliant idea, that deserves a mention on our blog.
ESPVisuals Interview 2008-03-15 16:37:25 Forgot to post this earlier, but PHilfy managed to hook ESPV up with an interview for Design Taxi, the Asia-based art/graphic design web mag. If you wanna know more about what we do, check us out HERE.
* HandMade * 2008-03-19 16:02:18 * HandMade *, originally uploaded by SupaDope Photography. Loving the work on Supadope Photography's Flickr account. The photos are always top-notch and really capture the essence of graffiti pieces.
Funny Jpegs 2008-03-18 05:33:47 Every photographer knows that it aint easy to snap that perfect photo of someone being shat on at exactly the right moment. Luckily, a talented photographer was able to catch this pigeon in mid flight pooing his daily poo load on this poor Innocent little kid.. making this photo frigging hilarious! Although, I tend to believe this photo may have been taken in China where they love eating pigeon and this bird was probably just getting his own back.. (that's alot of poo).As these photos were emailed to us with no reference or source I cant give all the details on exactly where this photo was taken but it needs little explanation as to why many guys would vote to have this in all toilets... remember if you shake more than 3 times, its considered a wank. I have a friend that can finish a Rubik Read more:Funny

The Secret Life of a Space Invader 2008-03-19 18:33:44 A great little vid about the life of one of those evil pixelated aliens that tried to take over our world in videogames from the 1980's.

Chris Levine the Light Artist 2008-03-22 12:55:04 The "Lightness of Being", a show by Chris
Levine, the light artist, has just finished in East London. It was quite a breath of fresh air to go see a local exhibition that was more about making you be aware of the show's environment and not just about analysing the Queen's holograhic prints on a wall."His distinctive visual language and seemingly effortless control over his technological media has differentiated his work from the main stream. His images have resonant power that is both highly original and super modern. As organic and alive as they are focused and precise, the visual results are always compelling and have a sense of distilled purity."Thanks for the photos Toshimi!Quote from Chris Levine's Website.

Paprika 2008-03-24 12:27:35 Paprika is a feature length science fiction anime film that is based on the 1953 novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsu. The film was directed by Satoshi Kon who's directorial work’s include Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfather and Paranoia Agent to name a few. Paprika premiered in the 2006 Venice international film festival in September of that year and then showed at the Tokyo international film festival in October. After that it made its way across the world showing at other film festivals. In the not to distant future a revolutionary new treatment in psychotherapy called PT is invented. The device used in this treatment is called the DC mini and it allows the user to view their patient’s dreams. Because this device is still in the trial stage it’s not available to the general public

Abandoned Satellite Facility 2008-04-01 09:52:38 Located in Maryland, this area was once a missile base until it was deactivated in 1962 as a functional missile silo.From 1962 until 1993 the site was used by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's Microwave Space Research Facility
Program. Most of the existing structures were completed in 1967, and included a parabolic dish antenna, transmitters, and a low-noise receiving system.In addition, the facility was also equipped fully for satellite tracking, data processing, and communications modulation experiments. Amazing photos of what could be a bleak planet somewhere on the edge of our solar system. More pics after the JUMP. Read more:Abandoned

Dave The Chimp New Website 2008-04-02 19:08:47 It's brilliant to see that an old friend and master of amusing streetart in East London has finally gotten himself a website filled with hundreds, and I do mean hundreds of his wicked illustrations/streetart/canvases. Dave The Chimp has a totaly recognisable style, whose works always make me smile when I see 'em. He has never joined the Flickr masses, but has been running his Fotolog account daily for a good few years now. Congratulations mate![VIA]
Dragon Bar R.I.P. 2008-04-02 19:08:00 The Dragon
Bar. A haven for graffiti writers for many many years. At least two generations of writers/streetartists have been drunk there and scribbled all over the walls. However, 4 weeks ago, the venue was torn down and will soon be turned into yet another group of non-descript "modern apartments". It was where I met many of my current friends 6 years ago and we will all miss it! A sad sad day is now upon us....See more pics and more juicy details of what was left at the Dragon Bar site HERE.p.s. a great post on the Graffoto blog....R.I.P. Dragon Bar
