Recently we posted a feature interview with Omar Quiambao, the man behind the Commonwealth stores and most recently also the new Stussy Chapter Store Washington DC.
If you had a good look at the store interior, you might have realized that some great artwork and sculptures are featured in the shop. Eric Elms was commissioned to create all the sculptures for the store and quite expected, they turned out great.

Koi Club and Asics always cook up something special, usually in the form or linked to sneakers of course. We have seen the set as well last week and thanks to Jeff Staple we can show it to you as well now – the Koi Club x Asics Collectors Box.  The box comes with overall 4 sculptures and shows the transformation of the fish into the sneaker. Rumors are the box goes for around 1′000 Euros.

Takashi Murakami, an artist that we have followed and admired for quite some time now, has recently opened his most comprehensive and complete exhibition to date at the MOCA in Los Angeles. The exhibition his showing works from the early days up until now and has a vibrant mix of paintings and sculptures.

Now have a look after the jump at one of moderns art most influential artists and enjoy.

Kidrobot has once again a flood of new products releasing in October. As usual they will not only release new vinyl figures, also pieces to their Fall 2007 clothing collection will be coming out.
Releases include hoodies and toys with artist Mad, toys taken from the pages of sci-fi headtrip Pure Trance, Keiko the Director and Kaori the Nurse, the Gingerman Dunny. Also interesting is the launch of the “Things That Hurt” set, which is a line of zipper pulls, an accessory nobody has really thought about before. The Holiday Labbit by Frank Kozik and the collaboration series with pixel artist eBoy is also dropping.

Here are some pictures of the “Skate Life: Skateboard Inspired Sculptures and Paintings” by J. Shea and Freddi C. exhibition, that is currently going down at the Gallery 1988 in San Francisco.
The artworks and sculptures look great and the amount of detail is very impressive. Also these works are especially refreshing in comparison to all the vinyl toys and sculptures that we see these past years. Pics via Notcot.
