Studio B.I.B. is a Toronto based creative space operated by Allister Lee. It specializes in consultation, branding, and graphic work for premier niche retail operations and apparel brands.

Allister recently asked me to make a plush version of his mascot… Here is what I came up with. As a big fan of Allister’s work, and his black and white aesthetics, it was super fun to work on, and I’m really happy with how it materialized.

Check out some of Allister’s amazing illustrations here.

Alrighty, my first club mumble post . . here it goes.  Well, I recently finished up my first solo show, Human Failure, which opened June 4th at the Slingluff Gallery, in Philadelphia, PA.  I recently put up some photos from the trip  which you can check out on fecalface.com !!

You can also check out some works online, here.

NYC Skateboarding has a new place to stay.  Full Bleed x Ace Hotel. Check in.

I wear many hats during the course of a day, and Friday night I’m putting on my finest artist chapeau for WELCOME TO SWEETSVILLE, a group installation with my art partners in crime – the Sweet Meat Co.

Club Mumble has been going strong as an online community of creatives since 2007, and now we’re branching out. Recently we reached out to Club Mumble members, and asked them to nominate someone awesome to join our club.

Well, the nominations are in!

Considering his substantial lack of body hair (except for, of course his mustache), Michael C. Hsiung likes to draw lots of hairy men, and comical hairy animals in slapstick scenarios. Underlying themes of violence and danger, mixed with humor, leaves you unsure if you should be laughing or crying with his work. Beside his amazing illustrations, highly sought after zines, and limited edition prints and shirts, Michael just happens to be one of the raddest people I have had the privilege to meet.

We feel very lucky to have Michael C. Hsiung on board and a part of the club, so please welcome him as our newest honorary member of Club Mumble.

I don’t have an oven or stovetop where I live. As a result, I’ve experimented with some recipes that require neither. Microwave ’til I die.

I was completely awed by what the Rammellzee Estate and Suzanne Geiss put together for The RAMM:ELL:ZEE Room at MOCA Los Angeles. If you haven’t already, I suggest you experience it. That dude is radical. Check the video here. Thanks to some sort of generous concession from Banksy’s patrons, you can visit the exhibit without an entry fee on Mondays. Free Mondays at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA will be every Monday, from 11am to 5pm, June 13 through August 8, 2011.

I made this lame ass GSD Flier. Sorry. Have fun.
