SSUReal From the Cradle to the Grave is a 6-inch, matte black vinyl skull featuring gold chrome-plated ABS teeth, articulated jaw, and a unique, embossed sylvan pattern covering the entire surface of the cranium. Also features a gold embossed Kidrobot x SSUR logo on the base of the skull.

Ruslan Karablin, better known as SSUR, has been a constant presence in NYC’s downtown art scene for almost fifteen years. His body of work encompasses a combination of pop culture, music, Russian cultural influences, and the evolutionary iconography of the 20th century. Available here.

Contemporary Designer based in Paris, Dzmitry Samal was born in Belarus in 1981. In 2003 he graduated from the Belarusian Technical University. His first profession is that of automobile engineer, but Dzmitry also took great interest in automobile design and design in general. He decided to complete postgraduate courses at the Belarusian Academy of Art and, after 3 years of studying there, he won the Audi Scholarship and completed his Master’s Degree at the Scuola Politechnica di Design in Milan.

During the past 8 years of his professional activities, Dzmitry has successfully collaborated with Italian, French, Chinese, and American design companies as well as fashion designers. Collaborations include Stile Bertone, Renault, Honda, L’Avvento, Idestyle, V2 Design, Soca…

His studies and experiences abroad in places like Belarus, Italy, and France, as well as his vast experience in car design, have helped him to develop an eye for style and innovation.

Very creative and irreverent. Dutch illustrator Mike Frederiqo has taken SpongeBob and made the iconic cartoon character into some of fashions most familiar faces. The likes of Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Terry Richardson, Pharrell Williams, and Takashi Murakami have been immortalized in the style sponge.

One of the most ancient symbols used in the history of mankind is shown in the most surprising and modern way in this book. Formerly an emblem of evil and mortality, the skull has been transformed into an avant-garde design element used in the most cutting-edge art, chic interiors and vanguard style of the moment.

Whether embellished on costly T-shirts, woven on limited edition chairs, and even encrusted with diamonds sold at an art auction for $100 million, the skull is no longer just a daunting memento of our frail mortality but a contemporary figure of fashion.

This 500-page book shows how this once morbid trinket of death has been reinvented into the much-desired decoration by the trendsetters of tomorrow.

Absolutely incredible work!

”I wished to draw for a long time a portrait of well-known actor Johnny Depp, as a result a portrait is drawn in the dry brush technique. Speed drawing portrait video consists of fragments Shooting on video camera. When draw a portrait moreover the actor such calibre as Johnny Depp, shooting on video distracts from work with a portrait, and sometimes a little and at all I forgot to include it in the fullness of time, therefore Speed drawing in video makes approximately about 70 %. Portrait drawing Johnny Depp has appeared not absolutely simple decision, therefore during portrait drawing, often it is necessary to correct some errors, achieving the best result.”  Igor Kazarin
