Neckface at dpmhi
by Josh Spear
Dopefiend has some great visuals of the Neck Face Exhibition at dpmhi, in London. It looked like an awesome event, crazy colors, murals, embroidered camouflage canvases-- and even a candlelit room in the basement of dpmhi decorated by neckface himself. The canvas pieces made in collaboration with Maharishi are available for sale in very limited editions of 10 for £500 (good luck getting one), at the dpmhi store on Great Pulteney Street in London.
Driftwood Skulls
by Josh Rubin
Hiroshi Kure is a Japanese sculptor with a passion for skulls and resin composites that look like natural materials. There is a lot of skull paraphernalia out there these days, but these rings are the most exciting I've seen so far. He has made them in silver as well as this resin composite, and has even enameled a few in pastel colors just for a little humor. Available at Odin, one of my favorite shops in NYC.
Even if you don't like skulls, check out his site. He has used the same resin material and texture to create other interesting objects including some funky aviator glasses (picture after the jump).
Werkburo
by Josh Spear
Werkburo is a Canadian site that is currently selling a nice line of t-shirts from a small group of independent artists from all over the world. Artists like Michael Place and Basit Khan came together to make up the first artist series. This shirt design by Khan is a tribute to the Islamic calligrapher Hassan Massouidi, and the renewal of one of his well know illustrations, the tiger.
