FUCKFACE by KLUVER

By: Todd Berger

For those of you not familiar with Kristian Kluver, and that’s a great many - he’s quite brilliant, exceptionally talented, and one of my favorite artist/designer/fabricators.  Kluver gingerly navigates between the 2-d graphic and 3-d physical realm - a place most aren’t entirely comfortable.  After a recent hard-drive failure, and some file reshuffling I stumbled upon some old Kluver imagery, nestled down deep inside the guts of HAL (our central server).  The images included form the foundation for a body of work Kluver aptly titled FUCKFACE.  I could go into detailed explanation of how the images were created, and where their roots lie, but that’s insider-only shit.  These images did leave the digital world in a couple of applications.  Unfortunately, the only complete set was discarded some time ago… by me (whole ‘nother tale).  Regardless, this little post is my homeage to the gritty-mean imagery that is FUCKFACE.  Enjoy, and then be honest with yourself and pick your favorite.  Come on.  Their’s one in there for everyone.

DEREK FRIDAY x DOO x SOFT&FURRY™

By: Todd Berger

Derek Friday, recently brought his family back to Boulder, CO for both career and lifestyle reasons.  We’re super stoked to have Derek back as he brings a wealth of talent and design experience to our little creative community.  Much thanks goes out to Kluver for pulling Derek into our fray.  Derek’s custom DOO for SOFT&FURRY™ is the first of many future cypher13/KLVR/Derek Friday collaborations.  I can’t wait to see what comes next!!!

 

KLUVER IS MORE CREATIVE THAN U.

By: Todd Berger

But don’t let it get you down.  We’ve come to terms with it and use it as a big motivator.   And, we think we’re pretty damn crafty.   Think about that.  Then go visit rocket-fly.com, there’s an illustration of  your new girlfriend.  Then go home and make a sculpture of a giant phallic monster.  Right?

KLUVER IS MORE CREATIVE THAN U.
