Character Art Accessories

Whether you have a vinyl figure or plush character, sometimes you want to use it for everyday use. Don’t get me wrong, having a collection of incredible toys is fun to look at, but sometimes it is nice for them to be a little more than eye candy. There is good news for us who think like this. Some our of favorite artists have made their character arts into everyday useful housewares.

Gama-Go has some of the naughtiest/cutest animals around and now you can take them with you to a picnic or out in the living room to watch TV while eating. Behold the Gama-Go Picnic Tray. It measures 6″ x 7.5″, and has a depth of 5/8″ and is only $6.00 a piece. Buy four and have a whole kitchen set.

Add to your Gama-Go collection with a bowl set of Gloomy Bear. Imagine eating cereal, then drinking the rest of the milk and seeing the lovable, bloody Gloomy. Who doesn’t want to see that after a good meal?! The bowl is 6 inches around by 3 inches deep. It retails for $25, so maybe just one special bowl is enough.

Sam Flores and Jeremy Fish have the perfect glasses and mugs to go with your new kitchenware set. Sam Flores has one pink mug, while Jeremy Fish has two designer coffee mugs. Each one is $12 a piece. Too add to the cup collection, Jeremy is offering a glass beer mug for $20 and a regular glass cup for $15. All of these pieces are very unique and are fun to use for any safe drinkable liquid. Visit Upper Playground to get a closer look.

For some people, smoking is still a daily thing. Ashtrays are an everyday appliance and should be cooler than just a piece from the gas station. KAWS has solved this problem with his new Black and White version ashtray. Although the tray is a little more on the expensive side at $95 a piece, it is still one of the coolest out there. These are very limited and can be found at KAWSONE.com.

There are many other useful items out there for us to show our crazy and colorful selves. These include wallets, pillows, shower curtains, and USB drives. Some of the best sites to find items like these are listed below. Check them out and see if something is worth your while or pass it on t a friend you might think would enjoy it.

Gamers Anonymous: An Anthem For Gamers Everywhere

header.jpg

When Zach Lost is not teaching 2nd grade – and impressing his students with his action figure and comic collection – he is making a name for himself as an upcoming Hip Hop artist. Zach has been performing publicly since 2002, and has been acting solo since 2005. He first crossed my radar when I stumbled upon Gamers Anonymous, a song he brands as an anthem for gamers everywhere. While his CD of other tracks are equally impressive, the lyrics of this particular tune ring true to anyone who has grown up with a game controller in their hands. Intrigued by the catchy number, I got in contact with Lost and conducted a mini-interview – in order to better understand the lyrical mastermind. Read on to learn more about Lost, and to listen to Gamers Anonymous first hand. Read the full story
