Super talented plush toy designer extraordinaire CAT RABBIT is working on a show with fellow Badcock 'Tara' in a neat exhibition opening 23rd July called 'Meet the Badcocks' which this photo of Cat is for I love the plush meat! I've always been a fan of Cat's work, owning a number of her little fluffy creations and i wish, oh how i wish i could be there to check out her latest additions to the Cat Rabbit family of weird and wonderful toys. If you're not familiar with Cat's work she was featured in our hand made edtn but if you dont have a copy you can check out her work online at www.catrabbit.com.au or over at her flickr

THURSDAY 15 JULY 2010 // HOLY SMOKES BATMAN!!!

HOLY CRAP!!! This is the shit i've been waiting for. For ages now i've been wondering how long will it be until skate videos go all CG badass and become like epic movies. Well, the wait is finally over hopefully coz check this shit out will ya! Here are two RAD short films that we're totally digging at the moment. The first is a trailer for Shaun Whites Skateboarding game - Transformation by Ubisoft and it's 1080 degrees off it's head! Did i mention the soundtrack. It happens to be only one of my favourite songs of all time... "Down in Mexico" by The coasters! Then there's this sooper rad exploding dynamite job by Lakai with Sounds by Unkle. A killer combination one wood say! I'm excited about the future of skate vids if this is whats on the new menu!

WEDNESDAY 14 JULY 2010 // MISO ON THE STREETS OF LONDON

Melbourne Street artist MISO has been in London for the past 2 weeks (after a brief spell in her birthplace of Ukraine) partly for the launch of Street/Studio (the book) at Black Rat Projects last Thursday night and to bless this fine city with her art. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with the lovely Miso for over a week and it's been great. And on her last night in London, after a tasty home cooked rissotto dinner by Timba she went out and put some new work up around the Shoreditch area. Below are some photos we took early this morning fresh from the mind and hand of this talented Melbournite! If you're not familiar with Miso's work you can find out all about her at www.cityofreubens.com
