Design-A-Qee Series

Qee figures, pronounced "KEY", are a Registered design pattern from Hong Kong creation that has taken the world by storm. Designer Toy/Lifestyles company Toy2R introduced Qee in 2001. And the craze soon caught the imagination of art lovers and collectors world-wide.

These designs are all based off of original artists collaborations during the Qee World tour. A lot of these designs were taken from an original DIY figure and eventually vectorized to make them production pieces. It’s really refreshing to see companies collaborate in this nature because it brings new artists into the mix.

Each iQee comes with an accessory to convert the figure into a key chain so you can take your buddy wherever you go. cutting edge artists from across Asia, America and Europe.

Qee figure series come original assorted in 'blind' boxes so that their identities are concealed. You don't know what figure you will get! This just adds to the excitement and if you get a duplicate you can always trade it with one of your mates. Qees inspire surprise, adventure and fun! Qees have distinguished themselves because they also double as key-chains. Each Qee has a removable attachment for those who wish to use it as a key chain instead of a display figure.

Qees have recently become both fashionable and desirable collector's items. They can be posed on your nightstand or worn as a stylish touch on your key ring.

Get into the intoxicating habit of collecting Qee figurines today!

Haunted Paradise: The Art of Glenn Barr (Hardcover)

Product Description
Glenn Barr's robots, creatures, and vixens live in a seedy yet swinging, 1960s universe, drenched in the haze of a postindustrial hangover. Working out of the burgeoning lowbrow movement in Detroit, Barr creates kinky inner sanctums adorned with disembodied cherubs, morally bankrupt babes, and sizzling femme fatales. Influenced by both pulp art and comics, Barr's work, beautifully sampled in this collection, is the visual equivalent of a David Lynch film.


About the Author
Glenn Barr's work has been seen in various print and television media including Mad, The Ren and Stimpy Show, and Bjork's I Miss You video.

Available for purchase at Spaghetti Project.

Welcome to the inner exploration of Kitty’s Anatomy !

A contrast between old and new anatomical models, designer Dr. Romanelli “surgically” cut away the midsection of Hello Kitty in his new collaboration with Sanrio and MEDICOM TOY CO. A rather interesting revelation was discovered in the process - just how similar Hello Kitty and her innards looked. Comes in contemporary colorway and “Antiqued” finish.

Freshjive - "Hope is Fading Fast" Obama Tee

With their "Hope is Fading Fast" Barack Obama tee, Freshjive stirs the pot in the political arena. Ever the controversial figure, Rick Klotz, founder and creative director of Freshjive, is known for wearing his opinions on his sleeve, well actually on his chest. This tee, which provides visual commentary on the state of the union, could be the banner of right wingers and naysayers everywhere. However, Freshjive's issue with the government is that they are not leaning as far left as their campaign has continuously promised to the country. According to Klotz' blog, the Obama administration has "maintained continuity with its disgraced predecessor." If dissent is patriotic then this is a salute to the flag.(via StreetLevel)


Freshjive continues to make strong statements in their collections. That is once again the case with the “Hope Is Fading Fast” t-shirt, Freshjive’s first judgement on the Obama administration. What Freshjive has to say about the subject you should check out the link below. The “Hope Is Fading Fast” t-shirt is the first un-branded product by Freshjive and is now available at Spaghetti Project.

Just Arrived New Imaginary Foundation T's

A little background on Imaginary Foundation:
The Imaginary foundation was established in Geneva in 1973
as an experimental "think-tank" for new ideas. Created by an
eclectic group of free thinkers, the foundation’s research spans
all creative endeavors and assigns as its goal; the wish to
eliminate set conventions in favor of the humorous,
the abstract and the visionary.

In his vision for the Imaginary Foundation, the Director knew that the human mind has more than one mode, that indeed it has an "ecology" of being. He knew that imagination, intuition, inspiration are basic to psyche. . . . A philosophy of research began to form: imagination as fundamental to all learning; artistic making as a model of integrating vision, materials, structure, and imagery.

"What makes true vision is the poetry of life and the richness of nature"
