 6-Inch Vinyl Edition of 250

The gift that keeps on taking. Lifelong friend or enemy? Every thing has a secret life. Behind the scenes, in the dark when no one's watching, what do we know of even our best of friends? Waiting motives always reveal themselves, tearing through the mock exteriors that build trust and perfect traps. This once cozy demon is having his day, powered by the horror of its prior owner and already onto its next victim. The veneer is stripped away to reveal the terrifying truth.

Something wicked this way came - not through a hard knock on the door or from the corner of your eye, but freely accepted, as a gift, a trusted companion for cold nights and hot fears. It's not the dark that's scary. It's your friends in the dark you should be worried about. A limited edition of 250 pieces. Each is hand numbered with the artist's signature engrave on the base. Packaged in a display box and features high gloss details, blood red eyes, and an overwhelming sense of dread.

Kuro Megami by Junko Mizuno

KURO MEGAMI
BY JUNKO MIZUNO

$400
11-INCH VINYL
EDITION OF 200
The goddess beckons. Flowers seductively lead to the serpent in her womb. She wears a coat of hair that shines like armor, protecting her body as well as her identity. Two sweet and small guards stand at her feet with chains holding them in two of six gloved hands.

Like the Asian ancients before her, she commands power with imagery and attention with metallic. Under her breasts, a skull and heart reside. She houses both life and death. She is a symbol for worship and a vessel for cosmic energy: strong and unsympathetic.

Releasing November 20 in a limited edition of 200, each piece is hand numbered with the artist’s signature engraved on the bottom, and exclusive to black.kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide.

Apple Apple Apple

So two bits of news that made me angry and happy. You can guess which way round: Firstly, Apple shareprice is down 20% from its all-time high in Sept of $705. This marks a $138bn loss in its value. Some people are saying that its because Apple cannot meet the demand for their products and others are saying that investors' sentiment towards the company is generally changing due to slower earnings growth and managment changes.

Secondly, Apple have managed to win possibly the MOST contentious patent awarded recently. Yes, the 'Rectangle with Rounded Corners' patent has been awarded to them. "Previous design patents on the iPad and iPhone have included at least one additional feature in solid lines — like the home button, the back surface contour, the bezel shape, the side profile, or the edge-to-edge screen. This one ignores all of that and simply focuses on the shape of that peripheral edge. It's a broad patent. Really broad. Granted, an argument can be made that the horizontal and vertical lengths of the solid edge line in the drawings limits the patent coverage to a specific proportional design that excludes tablets with different aspect ratios, but you wouldn't want that to be your primary defense..." I'm sorry, but Apple are really starting to grind my gears...

Creepy Pencil Art

Laurie Lipton was born in New York and began drawing at the age of four. She was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania with a Fine Arts Degree in Drawing (with honours). She has lived in Holland, Belgium, Germany and France and has made her home in London since 1986. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the USA.

Lipton was inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School. She tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 16th century Dutch Masters and failed. When traveling around Europe as a student, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. “It’s an insane way to draw”, she says, “but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort.
