mischievous candy dispensers,
kitchen utensils for gnomes,

6- How MANGA Took Over The World, March 13 through September 27, flyer artwork
7- 3 Bears Dunny, 8-inch series, by ilovedust, TADO, and Jon Burgerman, $50 each
TADO is Mike and Katie, and as their website says they eat ice cream and play with their dogs, and mostly draw wonderful pictures all day. They've made a name for themselves designing wall stickers, but they are masters of pretty much all aspects of graphic design - be it animation, logos, web design, homeware, or even customised cars and designer toys.
Wild animals are fast becoming limited editions on this planet. Hence the Limited Edition exhibition, a fund-raising show whose proceeds go to the BBC Fund for Wildlife. TADO's Fragile Friends need you!

Manga, on the other hand, are far from extinct. Actually they are proliferating so fast and invading so many cultural habitats that you'd do well to keep an eye on them. This other exhibition will help you get to the bottom of things, and discover How MANGA Took Over the World. TADO signed the propaganda flyer.
March 13 through September 27, 08, at Urbis, Manchester

Sometimes I wish we could just dream really hard about a new species and it would take the place of one that is extinct because of Man. That's what TADO, ilovedust, and Jon Burgerman have done with their new Dunnys. Sure, they're made of vynil, but all that's left to do is weave a little magic and poof! they'll live and breathe and roam happily about our homes.

7- First Impressions
In her little girl's room, Grace Weston eluded the gravity of childhood by creating little dioramas populated with her toys and random objects - cardboard, shoe boxes, stuffed animals, crepe paper...
Today, in her Portland studio, Grace Weston still constructs the scenes she catches on film. Dreams and disquiet merge. Imagination is the queen of her colorful fictions, and dark humor their disturbing prince. Under its influence, Grace Weston's surrealist stories take on their full dimension.
Creatures, knitted lambswool and polyester stuffing,
