Doktor A x Funky Peanut Rupture Funky Sleeves

  • by

Well this is fun: Doktor A’s Rupture returns in the form of a series of e-device sleeves from UK-based company Funky Peanut (you probably remember the teaser). After years of assaulting the designer toy market, our favourite razor-tooth monster has turned his attention to our beloved gadgets and gizmos …

Ideal for iPads, laptops, Kindles and the like, the neoprene covers feature a slick new Rupture design that has “a little more attitude than the previous versions,” the Dok says, adding that he whipped it up exclusively for the project. They also sport a super-soft, black fleece lining accented with black military grade zippers, black metal zipper pulls and black trim.

Available sizes include:

7” (21x15cm), suitable for Kindles and Android-type tablets. Retails for $30 / £18.99
10” (26x19cm), suitable of all iPads and most 10″ tablets. Retails for $38 / £23.99
15” (38x26cm), suitable for Macbooks and similar laptops. Retails for $44 / £27.99

Each size is a run of 500 and will be available tomorrow (Feb. 27th) via Funky Peanut and Doktor A’s Spookypopshop. Additional shots below.

A Doktor on Third …

Day Three of our CP ‘advent calendar’ brings this sweet little teaser from Doktor A. Hmm … those gears … that mask … does this fellow seem oddly familiar to you?

New Rupture Goodness from Doktor A

  • by

Recently on the CP forums, Dok A revealed this sneak peek of a new Rupture product, due for release sometime in February. Guesses, anyone? The only hint we have from the Dok is that it’s not a plush. In fact, it isn’t a toy at all.

… Curious.

Monsters & Misfits II – A First Look

This April marks the one-year anniversary of Monsters & Misfits, a three-person exhibition by Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters and Chris Ryniak that took place at the Kusakabe Folk Museum in Takayama, Japan. It was an exhibition that birthed some of the most challenging, influential, and beautiful works in the careers of these artists; an exhibition that they were unable to attend; an exhibition that helped raise $16,000 for disaster relief. Monsters & Misfits boosted the morale of the townspeople, helped rebuild a devastated city and reminded everyone of the healing power of art. It was prolific in all aspects.

And this year, we go bigger.

Circus Posterus returns to Japan this April for Monsters & Misfits II, a group show featuring new works from the original three artists, as well as Amanda Louise Spayd and Doktor A. Hosted for a second year by Tomenosuke-Syoten at the Kusakabe Folk Museum, the opening takes place on the eve of the Takayama Spring Festival, April 13th.

We kick things off with a progress shot from Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters. Delight yourselves in discussion! There’s plenty more to come.

Doktor A’s ‘Oscar Lynchworthy’ for Conjoined: II

  • by

Last month Doktor A confused the heck out of all of us with a rather strange teaser of his piece for Chet Zar’s Conjoined II at Copro Nason. Well suspicions be damned for he has just released a full reveal of he who is named Oscar Lynchworthy!

A briefing:

Constructed without limbs Oscar was a surly child.
He riled against the world feeling sidelined in his inability to do just about anything.
His parents offered to purchase appendages for him, but he adamantly remained in his self imposed funk.
His bitterness grew and festered for many years until one day he had an awakening.
A calling, a purpose, a vocation beckoned.
He would become a critic!

Oscar stands 16″ tall and is constructed from styrene, epoxy resin, vinyl, lead, glass, steel and rubber, with a vintage clockwork key fixed into his back. The splintered woodgrain finish is incredible — more beauty shots below!

Conjoined: II opens Jan. 21st and runs through Feb. 11th, 2012.
