Daniel Arsham has teamed up with streetwear fashion brand Billionaires Boys Club on the limited-edition Astronaut resin collectible figure.

Portions of the astronaut’s suit have eroded, revealing the crystalline structure within. The release synergizes with BBC Ice Cream’s stylized astronaut.

Shepard Fairey’s new Peace Fingers epoxy resin sculpture, a collaboration with Beyond The Streets, is based on his 2006 graphic which has since been released in several print editions. The 12-inch cream hue sculptural edition features a debossed floral design incorporating the artist’s OBEY logo. The mostly flat nature of the graphic coupled with the comparatively thick cast lends the piece a 2.5D feel, an engaging translation of the original graphic.
That the piece is profoundly powerful at this moment, is no quirk of timing, but rather a sobering testament to the seemingly endless waves of s ..read more

Without the front visor and pistol, the cop’s somewhat tragic fate is amplified. Of course, this is Low Fool stepping into Murphy’s footsteps in new ‘Fool’ kicks. While not officially part of Fools Paradise’s League of Steel, Robot would fit right into the futuristic gridiron series.
As with many of the brand’s toys, Robot celebrates the 3D form with a larger format, nearly 14″ here. Th ..read more
