Happy halloween by Insa Heels and photographed by Emma takes pix.

I’ve known about GelaSkins for quite a while and up until recently they’ve been pumping out a variety of artist based iPod, phone and laptop covers/protectors (I have a Blaine Fontana skin for my phone). Loads of great artists got involved with the company so there were loads of great images that could be transferred onto your gadgets to protect them from scratches and also to personalise them.

What really caught my attention recently is that they’ve moved on a few steps on from using the artists’ work as a form of gadget protection to just selling the artists’ work full stop. Take a look at their collection of Bamboo Fine Art Prints that are printed on environmentally friendly premium quality heavyweight bamboo paper with archival ink. They aren’t signed by the artists, they’re not individually numbered or available in limited quantities wither. However, they are just $30 each. And what about the artists… Jason Limón, Gianluca Mattia, Kathie Olivas, Luke Chueh, Nanami Cowdroy, MARS-1, Nathan Ota, Stella im Hultberg, Bob Dob, Brandi Milne, Daim and many more. It’s all about the art and making beautiful quality value for money prints for everyone to enjoy. Simple as that. Here are the two that I got got hold of and I can say that they are superb quality… and that without considering the fantastic value for money.

Danica Wells-Heitmann…aka Nickas. Lot’s of nice stuff including this one - Urban Alley Voodoo.

Really enjoyed viewing Anthony Clarkson’s unusual cartoon world of Grim Wonderland.

Youknow I love a collection and here’s one of Japanese matchbox labels. [via]

medical fetish high heels are supposed to “expose the taboo on physical deformities”. Apart from that I guess they’ll give the medical fetishists a kick in more ways that one (crap pun intended!). [via]
