Much of MadGods inspiration is derived from the remnants of past culture. These veins of originality are no longer with us in the form of authentic style and rebellion that existed in the formative years of youth culture, music, skateboarding and the independent artist. Most only recognize the patterns left in the wake of original influence.

MadGods has always taken a fondness to the interpretation of our own subcultures by foreign voyeurs, more specifically, the methodical breakdown of western music and skateboarding imagery and styles by Japanese Otaku cool hunters at the turn of the millennium. Using this fondness as a filter of sorts, we touch on realms of thought that we once believed were slowly becoming extinct with a new generation of youth that don’t remember a world before the internet. Using a familiar aesthetic, we perfect the art of dressing sheep in wolf’s clothing.

This will be Failures latest and maybe first solo show at Industry Print Shop on East 6th. He’s preparing art for a feature in Rare Magazine that could be the source of the art on display? I dunno, I never met the dude before so I can’t ask him. I see he’s been busy, tho.

Then I gotta speak on FERG who is absolutely fuckin killin it with his new SQUADTS figures. These are limited to 100 each and each edition sells out faster than the previous. The last one sold out in FOUR MINUTES!!! The hell?! If you can even find any of the first 3 on ebay (i’ve seen 1) prepare to dish out 3X-4X the original price. Youch…
Go to JAMUNGO.com to find out how to cop upcoming editions. Good luck with that.

And here, courtesy of TOYSREVIL, is a preview of the next edition. A duo and possibly my favorite editions yet. These were described as the core pieces, the originals. And even though maybe the simplest i think the most effective lil bastard warriors yet. Except they totally look like thugs with nothing to live for….(wait for halloween, tho!!!)
