Bidding has just closed on Shepard Fairey’s 1 of 3 mixed media stencil collage on cotton rag paper of OBAMA HOPE, 2008. The winning bid is $108,000.00. I guess this goes to show that both Shepard Fairey and Barack Obama continue to gain popularity!

Michael Kwong from the Galaxy Bunch is getting after some custom toys! To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Galaxy Bunch, Michael plans on touring the world with over 100 custom 8in Alpha Ultimate toys. He sent us some pictures of his first 9 (which already sold so he’ll have to make 109 now!). First off, the Alpha Ultimate blank is amazing, secondly, Michael is doing a phenomenal job customizing it! We can’t wait to keep tabs on his progress, you can keep up too via his site and flickr account!

Ian Coyle, formerly of iancoyle.com and hello-sexy.com, creator of cake-or-death.org, and superhero.es, well known for one of his master works, shopcomposition.com (which has evolved quite a bit) is quite possibly my favorite website designer. And he’s local, a denverite. I’ve sorta followed his trajectory as a total web ruler and conqueror as long as I’ve been in the biz myself. I just stumbled upon another site of his, perhaps new, perhaps old - not sure. But it’s rad. Maybe you’ve seen it. Maybe it’s been on a grip of blogs already. I don’t really care. HOLGANYC.com is dope and you should check it out.

More at BBC online.

“WE SUFFER PRIMARILY … FROM OUR ILLUSIONS. WE ARE HAUNTED, NOT BY REALITY, BUT BY THOSE IMAGES WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE OF REALITY. AMERICA WENT TO WAR NEARLY FIVE YEARS AGO AFTER AN ORCHESTRATED CAMPAIGN OF FALSE STATEMENTS BY THE NATION’S TOP OFFICIALS, A WAR BEGUN UNDER THE ILLUSION OF AN IMMINENT NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT. WE ARE HAUNTED BY A WAR BEGUN, IN OTHER WORDS, UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.” - DANIEL BOORSTIN, THE IMAGE (1961)
