Lowbrow Art? Vinyl Toys? Art Culture? Not all artwork and toys pack the same punch. Let's take the artwork first. This is not your "starving artist sale" artwork. This is "grab you by your throat and beat you senseless" artwork. Not literally, but you get the point. The toys for instance are not your typical toy. These are designer toys. These toys come in limited editions, generally falling in the 200-3000 range, and in many cases made of soft or hard vinyl. This site will share with you the artwork, toys and apparel from today's art culture as well as a little sprinkle of my life and things I find cool.

I awoke early one morning a couple weeks ago to a pleasant surprise. Several friends had written and said that they were watching Miami Ink the night before, on A&E, and saw Chris Garver wearing one of my shirts that I designed for my company, 70 Star 7 Industries. Of course that was one night I hadn't set the DVR to record it. But thank goodness for good ol' iTunes. A week or so later I was able to download the episode, called "Kat's Cooking". Here's a shot from the show. Dude wore it for a good 30% of the show. Thanks Mr. Garver. It is much appreciated.You can purchase the shirt here at 70 Star 7 Industries. And in doing so you also support the charity I selected, Mocha Club.
10 Bills Tees: Relaunch
10 bills...as in 10 buck, dollars, duckets, etc. The gang at 10 Bills has relaunched. Who they are is easy..."Ten Bills is not just a team of t-shirt lovers. We're music lovers and we're art lovers. We love to love! We love those who express themselves and their creativity and will continue to help artists reach wider audiences. We believe that self-expression is the only form of expression. We feel that our emotions should govern our actions - not society. But it's emotions that we need more of in society."
What they do - check out the relaunch at www.tenbills.com.

- Pop Thirteen
- An art culture portal that I started a year ago for yet another love. The love of art and toys. Yes, designer toys. I can't stop spending money on them. So what better than to create a giant blog about art, toys and the creative culture. Oh, and we started a store that sells the good as well. Best part about that...I get wholesale prices. My toy addiction just got cheaper. If you can't kick the habit at least try to figure out how to make it cheaper. MuuUUAAAHAHAHA.
