Rotofugi is your one stop shop for designer toys, urban art, and the goods that keep the inner child in you squealing for more. Owners Whitney and Kirby Kerr are simply amazing and do a phenomenal job of selecting quality merchandise. I’m super stoked to have some of the Beery apparel at Rotofugi and work with such passionate people. Rotofugi Designer Toy Store & Gallery, established in July 2004, is located on the border of Chicago’s Lincoln Park and Lakeview neighborhoods in a beautiful vintage building. Since opening, Rotofugi has grown to become one of the world’s premier sellers of designer toys from artists all over the world. Rotofugi features a diverse selection of vinyl figures, capsule toys, plush and more from both eastern and western designers. The adjoining Rotofugi Gallery features monthly art exhibits by a range of both local and nationally known artists.

Merging the variable line work that typically occurs in my micron pieces with more fills and strokes makes this latest hobo character even more thick with puzzling elements. Indicative of most of the hobo’s there is the integration of words spelled by hands and multiple arms. As an ode to my West Coast clothing line DEFIANT it was necessary to meld the iconic affects with tentacles, skulls, booze, and sound effect tattoos. With most of these works I’ve gone back to the wood panels which allow a variable surface for me to mix up the media from graphite, inks, stains, paints, and wood burning. More insano hobo’s will be busting out of the woodwork in 2011!

That’s right, put on your desensitized eyes and get ready for the best beginning to any Halloween/horror month you ever knew. I’m raising the dead and bringing them to San Francisco right smack down in the center of the Haight district to boogie with the dark masses on Friday October 1st. All the righteous creatures will be getting served real proper like at D-Structure where we are bringing the freshest gear from the wicked land of DEFIANT!

This is a dually killer occasion as it marks the SF launch of Defiant wear in the Bay! So you may remember that zombie rapper series I put out a bit ago?…well now they are available on our finest tees and will be for sale at the show. 3 of the living dead rappers Zombeazy, Zombiggie, and 2Dead are available now through the store and online. I also printed up a limited edition of hand silk screened posters just for the show which will be for sale. We will also be giving away limited ed silk screened bandanas and prints. Not only will Defiant be giving away a ton of swag, D-Structure is giving away grab bags, vinyl toys, free wine to the first 100 guests and more! Come for the gifts and stay for the art!

Seriously though there is more. One of the main features of the show are my beloved Pulp Street characters. I spent quite some time getting those giant parade-style muppet heads just right and now it is time for the public to enjoy them at their worst. Come out and get your photos with the duo and upload them to www.defiantwear.com for a chance to win some tees! Come have a mobile mixer with Bert (Jules) or a glass of wine with Ernie (Vincent). These hit men are just for the party…sorry you can’t rent them!

There will also be an after party and an after, after party…

So COME OUT to URBAN UNDEAD and join myself, my hobo-eaters and zombies, DEFIANT, some bloody muppets, and D-Structure for the fall art/horror/fashion partay of 2010!

For my Urban Undead SF show Oct 1 2010 and a variety of shows around Seattle I hand silk screened 60 posters as well as a limited number of wood panels. If your unfamiliar with the process of screen printing I suggest doing a web search as it is a bit too much info to plug it all in here. Although, the shots below will give you an idea of how I accomplish large 1 color oversize signature art posters. 2p1 2p2 2p3 2pshop 2pshop1 adin all1 ezttan jmj1 jmj2 jmj3 meprint0 meprint00 meprint001 meprint1 meprint002 meprint2 meprint003 meprint3 meprint004 meprint4 meprint005 meprint5 meprint6 meprint7 meprint8 meprint9 meprint10 meprint11 odb1 odb2 odb3 postersez1 postersodb1 postersodb2 postersodb3 posterspac1 posterspac2 zbig1 zbig2 zbig3 zbigdeck1 zbigdeck2 zbigdeck3 zez1 zez2 zez3 zezshop zezshop2

Not only do I get to oversee all the aesthetics, artwork and design, I get to do rad action-sports shoots with our fantastic riders. These guys carve it up day and night, rain or shine. We recently did a shoot at the Greenlake skate park here in Seattle with one of our daredevils Charlie Philipp. Charlie excels on the verts and gets into an insane routine down in the bowls and out onto the rails. He maintains some heavy air time and is constantly on the thread of explosive defiance. Charlie, AKA Chuck D, is an amazing dude. This cat has the heart of a lion and a fierce yet positive attitude everywhere he skates. Here is a montage of some sick footage I had a blast putting together that day.
