KEITH HARING - THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Scrills — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:15:04 +0000

As you know, we’re big on art (and if you didn’t, now you do). Legends like Basquiat, Keith Haring, Warhol, Dali etc all influence us in some way and that’s very visible in our work/products. There’s a Keith Haring installation at the Deitch in L.I.C (Long Island City) in New York called “The Ten Commandments” and if you can make it, it definitely looks like it’ll be well worth it. We haven’t been able to make it down there yet due to our crazy hectic schedule but we’ll be doing so before the installation is up. Here’s some more info and pics from The Deitch website…

Keith Haring - The Ten Commandments

November 08, 2008 — February 15, 2009
4-40 44th Drive, Long Island City

EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 15, 2009

The Ten Commandments, one of Keith Haring’s most powerful series of paintings, will be presented at Deitch Studios, Long Island City, from November 8, 2008 – February 15, 2009. The works portray the Ten Commandments from Haring’s point of view, combining a traditional Biblical interpretation with the artist’s liberating spirit and apocalyptic vision.

HAPPY EXPLOSIVES.

Our homie and resident toy designer - Mekazoo (repping Istanbul, Turkey) just threw up the design below at Threadless. The design is pretty dope and yeah you probably think I’m just saying that because Mekazoo is part of our family..but no. I appreciate talent and this dude has tons of it. Check out the piece below and then go here to show love.

That’s one happy molotov cocktail…Support Mekazoo with your vote by clicking here.

STAY TRUE.

Scrills — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:23:01 +0000

The driving force behind our brand has always been our motto - Stay True. The lifeblood of our brand lies in those words. It is the very essence of what the Cookies -n- Cream brand is all about and has become the message we try to push forward with our brand. “Stay True” to us basically means stay true to yourself and do what you love regardless of anyone’s opinion. Be yourself and push ahead with whatever dreams or aspirations you may have. Be fearless and prepared to conquer any challenges that may/will step in your way of you achieving your goals. It’s a powerful message and we wouldn’t be where we are today without that motto. We’re presently working on a project based around that motto and while we’re not ready to reveal details about the project yet, we can show you some sketches of what our “Stay True” logo will look like for the project….Enjoy…by the way notice that we used KITO as an exclamation mark. How ill is that?

I’m super excited about the project and I can promise that it’ll be dope as hell…You can quote me on that.

PETER KATO - THE ASTROMONGER.

Scrills — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 15:34:34 +0000

While down at Dave’s studio filming for our video project, we met with a nice gentleman by the name of Peter Kato. Peter has an extensive background in the designer toys scene and managed the Toy Tokyo store for a good number of years. Nowadays, Peter is working on his own show called The Astromonger’s Monster Challenge. The concept of the show is that he gives an artist/toy sculptor some text with no background info and asks that individual to create a monster based on that text. Pretty cool idea. What’s even more impressive is the line-up of folks that Peter’s been able to gather for the show. Should be really interesting to see the pieces that will be created and guess what, we’ll be down there to catch it all on video and get an interview with Peter himself. Thanks Peter! I can’t wait…info below.

CINEMATIC.

Scrills — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:55:46 +0000

We popped in renowned toy sculptor/designer - Dave Cortes‘ studio a few days ago to film him for a video project we’re working on for our brand. We had a blast and the shoot was dope. We’re not ready to show the video yet or say what the video project is about but let’s just say, it will be nothing like you’ve ever seen before and you’ll enjoy every last second of what you’ll see. That’s all I have to say for now. However, I did take a few pics of the filming session…filmed by one of our own - Jon Blak. Enjoy the images below and stay tuned for more info about the video project. It’s going to be sick!

That’s all you get for now. Also, Dave’s Pugzee will be dropping soon so hold on tight!
