Our last, final, end of the line box has been added to the Xmas Selection Box page and it’s one which I think everyone will want to get their hands on!
Raw Design have very kindly donated one of their festive Christmas By Colour poster & wrapping paper combos. The almighty TADO have sent in one of their uber-cool Cannibal Funfair vinyls (doodled on to boot!) as well as a mushroom vinyl and loads of stickers! We’ve thrown in a Burgerman Snot Zombie tee and Print Project card set, and some badges. Al Heighton chipped in with a few postcards and a xmas card. There’s a hand-printed Peskimo card and stickers. There’s another of Kenn Munk’s paper toy templates. Ben The Illustrator was super-generous and has sent a second full set of World Lovin prints, signed and numbered! And a hand-drawn Speakerdog! And finally, Insolent Candy Floss donated another postcard and sticker set.
So, it’s your last chance now to sign up over at….

Hot on the heels from their MLP project, Tado are back in style with a new character, Lily The Littlest Cannibal! The illustrating duo created the character for a special exhibition at Magic Pony in Canada and as part of an exclusive range of new vinyl toys called Cannibal Funfair.
“Ready to tear you limb from limb at Lily’s command, these covetable cannibals beg the question, Can’t we all be monsters?”
There’s a load of photos of the exhibition, the opening event and also the Funfair toys on the Lily microsite. If only we lived in Canada!

We’ve caught wind of another collaborative project which Tado are taking part in. It’s with Thunderdog and Hasbro and marks the 25th Anniversary of My Little Pony. Not surprisingly, it’s called The My Little Pony Project. I know what you’re all thinking… MLP isn’t the kind of thing you’d usually spend you lunch time looking at but there’s an awesome line-up of artists customising the little critters and as you can see from Tado’s super-sneak-peak work-in-progress photos above, the final results will win over even the biggest GI-Joe fan!

If you don’t already know, Tado, Jon Burgerman and iLoveDust have teamed up for a very special range of 8″ Dunnys… the 3 Bears! We braved the heat and the Manchester one-way system to meet the guys at their signing event at the Richard Goodall Gallery. It was hot, hot, hot but well worth it… and above is a snap of us with the guys. The Dunnys look great and you can find out more about them on the 3 Bears Blog. And if you’re feeling particular flush… you can buy ‘em straight from the KidRobot US store.

California-based illustrator and designer Chris Lee has been busy of late, doing all manner of projects right across the design spectrum. But he was able to spare us some time to answer some questions and shed some light on the mind inside The Beast.

Jeremyville, Rinzen, Furi Furi, Tado, tokidoki, Mauro Gatti, Yo Clas, Andy and BUGO all contributed. We managed to catch up with some of them for some extra info.

We were invited to participate in January’s edition of the Orgasmik Design Project (www.orgasmikdesign.com) back in November 04. The theme for the project was ‘Propaganda’ which seemed pretty daunting at the time!
