BUBBLEGUM PSYCHEDELIC

“This is the first collection of paintings I’ve exhibited for some years. A culmination of ideas evolved and developed over time drawing influences from old and new psychedelic music, mutations, record shopping and my own alternate reality project Monsterism Island. The show includes paintings, large and small using a candy coloured palette quite unlike work I have previously produced with paint. This palette is much used in my digital illustration work.” Pete Fowler

Wow 30 years of Space Invaders and and you can celebrate it by getting some Space Invader towels. They may not be the most innovative products but you cant beat a cool towel and since I have never owned a Black towel now might be the perfect time to start. Pick yours up for under $20 here.

Any FAILE or street art lovers have to check out this Q & A with FAILE over at Broke Ya Neck. I am loving the FAILE vibe for art and hope they come to the UK in 2008.

Another retro style radio to add to growing list but this is one of my favourite designs in a long time with its cool lime green colour combined with the stylish grill styled centre. Grab it from V&A at only £30.

With the tons of video game figures around its always exciting to hear or toys for your favourite vintage games and the latest is news of Sonic the Hedgehog figures. The most exciting thing about this bit of news is that they are being created by First 4 Figures, who produce some absolutely stunning figures, and they will be based on the classic versions of the characters. I have full confidence that the initial line up of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles is going to be nothing short of amazing when they arrive around July 2008. [via Action Figure]

Join the most infectious competition ever and win fantastic prizes with Resident Evil: Extinction

Here’s how it works. Go to www.residentevilextinctiondvd.co.uk to create your own zombie character.

On creation, your very own zombie will be placed in the infected pen where you can strengthen your character daily by feeding and exercising it. You’ll need to get in there early as food is limited each day.

At 09.00 GMT on 18th February all the zombies will be released into live homepage takeover ads across the Internet. You will be notified by email as to what site your zombie is on.

Within that site your zombie can roam from one advertising format to another of its own accord!

Throughout the day, Alice will roam the internet killing off zombies at random. However, those who have strengthened their character will have a greater chance of survival.

Email updates will be sent out to zombie owners throughout the day, letting you know the current location of Alice. If you are killed off, you’ll also be notified by email. The progress of the zombies will also be published on the site, with the eventual winner crowned at the end of the day.
