Thoughts?

Mr. Kim Says - "Lacking Inspiration" from Mr. Kim on Vimeo.

I've been going to mrkimsays.com for years now. For those unaware, it is a blog ran by Rickey Kim, owner of Evil Monito, a guy for all intents and purposes seems to work with some of the most creative individuals that this world has to offer.

Which is why this post troubles me.

Let me start by saying that I completely agree with what Mr. Kim has to say. I think we have taken art in it's laziest direction. That schools of thought that exist in the art world now are just out of pure lack of creativity. This doesn't fall on everyone, but the vast majority have to own up to this, including myself.

We as the creative community have latched onto the idea of art=fame, or rather, very poor art + great marketing = fame.

I also think as one who calls himself a creative individual, how much blame do I place on myself.

And that is what troubles me.

So I post it to you dear reader.
Do you think we have reached the tipping point?
Do you think that because of over saturation, laziness, and all around not giving a crap, we have drained the well?

I don't know, but I do know this makes me want to try harder and really wow, not just make something that is good enough, but really wow.

We are getting closer!

The Calendar is done.

So what does that mean? and how long before you can have it in your warm, little hands?

Pre-orders start Monday October 19th, and run for the rest of that month. We're working out some special things for the pre-orders to make the calendar even more of a hot commodity.

I can't tell you how proud I am of the team that worked on this little puppy. It shows through in the photography and the packaging. This is just a wonderful piece, and I can't share in words how happy I am with the finished product.

What else?

Well, October on through the end of the year looks to be a busy time for us here at Toi. Our first cut and sew piece (limited to just 150) is coming along swimmingly and is on schedule for its late October/Early November release.

There's some other things coming along the pipeline as well, but I can't say much more than that.

So as always ...

this is fantastic

Saw this on Johnny Cupcakes blog and thought it was really beautiful.

I'm jealous in how creative and simple this really is.

Shawn Barber

I have been a fan of Shawn Barbers work for a few years now. His work has a really beautiful quality to it, I could only imagine what it would look like close-up.

Anyway for the past few years now he's been working on his Tattoo portraits. and I have to say that everyone of them is amazing.



Well now for those of us that can't afford priceless art, for $65.00 you can own his coffee table book "Forever and Ever" from 9mmbooks

Take a look at his website, and then go and get the book.
