Nike Sportsware Installation London.

Am back!!! I had to take some time off because the past 2 weeks have been crazy!!

Am checkin now the Nike Sportsware opening around the world and am loving what they did in london.

Carrie Munden of Cassette Playa has created an impressive installation for Nike Sportswear London inspired by the Nike Split Windrunner. It’s so cool that you can create your own avatar and get a limited edition videoringtone, downloadable to your mobile.

And check out Cassette Playas’s blog. It’s so cool too!

Jesse Reno

Though he arrived to Mexico on friday. I think he was the first to finish his piece, he worked very quickly. I guess he’s all bussines and he’s very focused.

I wasn’t too familiar with his stuff, but his works have really impressed me.

He and his girl are very nice people to chat with.

Check his wonderful work at http://www.jessereno.com/

Joe Ledbetter.

I think he was the most popular among the artists that participated, people were waiting since 9 a.m. to get his autograph, his toys were the reason for that. And his works show why he was the popular one… Don’t you just love his creatures!!

His works range from prints, toyz, books … you name it.

And for one of the posters he did a CHUPACABRA!! which was one of my Faves.

Check his stuff at http://www.joeledbetter.com/

Vault 49

I just simply love Vault49’s art direction so much…

It’s like they invented mojo, mass produce it and add it  to every piece that they make.
And they’ve also relaunched the new version of their website.

Go check it out at http://www.vault49.com/

Etienne De Crecy!!

My god !!! This from last year … it’s new to me.

Take a look at the visuals, with this i confirm that the french are officially out of this world in terms of putting a kick ass show. Very daft punkesque but still very original concept.
