Check out these PUMA shoes that just came out on Sat May 16th. They’re crazy!
With the success the Cheech Wizard PUMA Clydes had back in 2007, PUMA once again called out to Mark Bodé to design a pair of sneakers to honor the artwork of his father, Vaughn Bodé. Mark and PUMA this time put together two pairs of the PUMA Mid in what is called ‘Da Lizard Pack’, a pack paying tribute to a lizard character named ‘Da Lizard’ that Vaughn Bodé created in the 1950’s.
They also made a high quality jersey hooded sweatshirt with attention to detail in the hood. Check out Da Lizard head on that!
Vaughn Bodé is one of the most influential American cartoonists of our time. Much of graffiti art itself comes from the work of Vaughn Bodé. Rendering his characters, lettering and cartoon semiotics is a rite of passage for graffiti art crews.
Here’s an animated short by Nigel Hendrickson, with input from Mark Bodé.

Travis Lampe did an exhibit with Rotofugi Gallery back in December 2007 called Fantasy Cryland. One of the things Travis did for the exhibit were these amazing little hand-stitched and hand-painted pieces he called “Tear Drips.” Inspired by Travis’ creations, Rotofugi and Squibbles Ink immediately approached Travis into letting them make his art into vinyl toys.
On Thursday May 21st, you can get your hands on these little sad guys. The “Tear Drips Series 1″ by Travis Lampe has a total of 12 designs and will be blind boxed.
Travis has a very unique style to his work. His illustrations are cartoonish, colourful, cute and full of emotions. He likes to put faces on everything. One of my favorite resin art toys that he made was “Accidental Mishap”. It’s a sad unicorn crying for his broken rainbow.
Here’s a cute video that you may remember watching as a child.
