Dead Mickey on board

Dead Mouse skateboard
Summer. The perfect time for blissful afternoon skating. The laughing skeleton of a very famous mouse wearing the distinct clothes: the perfect design for a surreal (and slightly dark) skateboard.

This weird concept of a dead Mickey Mouse came from Evilive Produkts, Juan Pollo's creative outlet for interesting, imaginative gifts and products. You'll like what you'll find there!
If you speak Spanish you'll probably appreciate his Porn-O-Graffix blog, too. Me, I could only enjoy the design and the music.

Bare bones t-shirt


This t-shirt features a minimal, intriguing design that looks almost like a riddle. I love the contrast between the soft colored circle and the strength of the hip bone image.
The designer is Rory Wilson, and he came up with one of the best (and strangest) concepts I've seen in a quite some time!

The alien tentacled eyeball


Watch this alien eyeball unfold its tentacles, on a great t-shirt designed by the talented D.Silva! It's menacing, yet graceful. This surreal monster looks like it's moving, bobbing slowly up and down before executing an unexpected, swift movement.
D.Silva's designs seem to have a life of their own, a strange tendency to leave their canvas and roam freely among us (well, that would be the stuff nightmares are made of!). He is inspired by tattoos, comics, punk, graffiti, steampunk, video games and animals, and his imagination absorbs them and creates pure gems.

It's not the first time he is featured here (there was this Screaming Flowers post, some time ago) and the reason is obvious: His shop is a must see!

Beautifully strange iPhone cases


Welcome to the paradoxical world of an extremely talented artist, a world blessed by strange totems, where death figures roam and religious symbols are transformed into strange heroes. It's the world of Chris Parks and his outstanding Pale Horse store. The small, modern format of the iPhone case is enough to showcase his offbeat ideas and his supreme technique.
The skull-faced, kimono-wearing Dead Geisha is a fine example of his line work and his imagination.


The impressive luchador Christos Mysterio Jr. gives a small taste of how his designs turn out when he uses color: striking yet balanced! I love the way he uses well-known cultural symbols to create new, strange concepts and images. This store is one of a kind!

Screaming flowers suit


It's about time for an utterly wacko poster -and I guess you know by now I mean this as a compliment! This great piece by D.Silva Designs is both creepy, funny and surreal. They say the devil's in the details and in this case the detail of those little screaming heads that hang out of the flowers is unbeatable!

Here's something more from this great artist:


He doesn't limit himself in one style or medium and his solid technique is as flexible as his imagination. Check out his store and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Fat cap hoodie


A fat cap is a special nozzle for a spray paint can that widens the spray area. It's widely used by graffiti artists and it's the inspiration for the great pop art design that gives a unique flavor to this black hoodie.
Blue, bold, minimal, symbolic: the perfect introduction to TogaOne , an artist with a fresh and strong style. I bet we'll be hearing more about him soon so you'd better go and check him out now!

Psychedelic nature


I don't know whether this pretty iPad case is hallucinogenic as it's title implies, but I can tell you that this great illustration caught my attention! I discovered it in Rupy de Tequila store, the place were Ruth Fitta-Schulz showcases her amazing digital art. Rita has a rare sense of color and an imagination that brings forth playful childhood images.


It's difficult to decide on favorites from her amazing store. I could point out, though, that she has a special talent for unique, unprecedented Keds shoes designs, like this Dark Fruits beauty. Do check out her artwork: I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised!
