Custom Yoka Show at DesignerCon

yoka

adFunture provided their 3″ blank Yoka bear vinyl figures and DKE Toys co-founders Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks found over 200 artists to participate in the Custom Yoka Show.  Featuring work from 19 countries the show turns the quirky little panda into everything from a dirty thug to a sweet snail in this tremendous exhibition.  Each original piece ranges from $25 to $600 and will be available for purchase at the start of the show Saturday morning.

Set to premiere at Designer Con (formerly Vinyl Toy Network) in Pasadena, California on November 21, 2009 the show will travel from there to make more appearances around the country and possibly the world.  Tour dates to be announced.

Show features: Anthony Ausgang, Miss Mindy, Buff Monster, Jophen Stein, Heidi Kenney, Steven Daily, Snaggs, Arbito, Le Merde, Chris Ryniak, olive47, Dacosta!, Chino and literally hundreds more.

Starting at noon all children will be invited to play the Yoka scavenger hunt.  Participants will search the exhibition for the answers to 10 clues and the first 100 players to complete the hunt will win a brand new unreleased Yoka from the upcoming series 1.

How do you like THEM Apples?

A Little Rusty by Greg Koenig
Jacked In by Ivan Flores
The Rebel by Mike Klay

Are you so much of an Apple aficionado that you’re a little hesitant about covering up the beautiful glowing logo? Well, we feel you. And that’s why back in July we challenged our community of artists to dream up a laptop skin that creatively revealed the Apple logo in our Cut to the Core design challenge.

A tsunami of press and purchases followed the launch of the first round of winners, so we decided to spoil you with a second batch of designs that also cut us to the quick.

So congratulations and all hail Greg Koenig and his glow-in-the-dark design A Little Rusty, Ivan Flores who brings new meaning to the term “apple jack” with Jacked In and also to Mike Klay who takes a decidedly cutthroat approach with The Rebel.

The designs are now available for your 13”, 15” or 17” MacBook at a wallet-friendly $29.99.

Munny seen partying at Mighty in SF

There has been a recent sighting of the DLi$h DesignerCon Munny exclusive partying at Mighty nightclub in SF.  Witnesses say that Munny was severely intoxicated, and slurring heavily.  Lucky enough for Munny, he seemed to be pulling some pretty attractive ladies throughout the night.
