Daily Graffiti: Creepy-eyed Pikachu

brownkidd — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:02:58 +0000

Graffiti featuring standalone gaming icons is cool and all, but I especially love when they’re mixed in with letterstyles. This awesomeness is magnified when you add light painting to the mix, as can be seen by this Pikachu pic uploaded by Charles Massengill.

Keepers of the Silhouette Tower – Handmade Custom Dunny Series by f+

brownkidd — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:28:51 +0000

Josh “f+” Pearce made this awesome set of 20 custom 3″ Dunnys that he’s selling blindboxed for a whopping $85 apiece. While the price is pretty huge considering a manufactured Dunny retails for around $8, these things look pretty freaking amazing.

If you want one of these bad boys for your collection, you can pick one up right here. As an added bonus, anyone who snags one within the next 30 days has the chance to score one of Josh’s 8″ custom Codexian figures for free.

Check out more pics over on f+’s blog.

I obviously need to get on the ball and make more customs. There’s some obvious ducats to be made.

Fresh-ass Fanart: Disney Princesses as Sailor Moon Girls

brownkidd — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:12:32 +0000

From casa de la Wiki:

The success of The Walt Disney Company’s 1937 feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs influenced Japanese animators. In the 1960s, manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka [credited with meing the godfather of anime] adapted and simplified many Disney animation-techniques to reduce costs and to limit the number of frames in productions. He intended this as a temporary measure to allow him to produce material on a tight schedule with inexperienced animation-staff.

Thanks to the artist Manon Yapari, the circle is complete.

Daily Graffiti: ‘Tron’ Graffiti Spotted in New York

brownkidd — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:08:02 +0000

Since the trailer for Tron: Legacy went up today, I’m feeling in a bit of a Tron-ish mood and figured I’d find some Tron graffiti. Further proof that if it exists, there IS graffiti of it.

This pic and more shots of the same piece were uploaded to Flickr by etldan and it’s way more awesome than this Tron graffiti:

Fresh-ass Fanart: My friend got drunk and drew this picture of Benjamin Linus having a Hot Pocket thrown at him.

brownkidd — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:31:38 +0000

Last night my friend Ari was taking request for Lost-related art via Twitter. I suggested “Hot Pockets” as a theme, and this is what she came up with.

About the piece, she says:

Hot Pocket request from @brownkidd. Keep on mind I’m slightly intoxicated. Also if anyone uses Crayola Markers it will end up looking pretty 3rd grade anyway…

She also did the piece below featuring a cool Dharma bunny.
