The latest issue of art, music and fashion mag Tokion has just hit the shelves, featuring the work of Danny Sangra - along with (deep breath) Aurel Schmidt, Devendra Banhart, Paul Laffoley, AJ Fosik, Brent Green, Mark Weaver, Rad Hourani, Narwhalz, Erik Mark Sandberg, Eric Yahnker, Sam Falls, Thomas Lelu, Mario Zoots, Black Acid CoOp, dirty drawings, mixtapes, free spirits, drug-crazed histories, Mr. T, alien implants, stolen faces and Pomeranians. Phew. Dazed and Confused's online little brother, Dazed Digital, is running a very exciting album cover competition. The lucky winner will see their work on the cover of 'Hobbyism', a new compilation from UK record label Full Time Hobby. They asked Rose Stallard and Kate Moross to offer the contestants inspiration with some cover designs of their own, and here they are. In Si Scott news, he's created a logo for Vauxhall Skate through Mischief PR, a one off ice skating event to be held at the National History Museum on the 14th January 2010. The theme for the event is 'One Enchanted Evening', with the grounds of the museum transformed into an enchanted fairytale forest for the night, including story book characters and animals, a gingerbread car, a snow-dome, mulled wine and roasted chestnuts. Kookai, the niche French high street brand, are undergoing a re-launch. Their brand new UK flagship store opened on St Christopher's Place earlier in November and Devetta PR approached Natasha to create the artwork for their press and consumer event held on the 19th November, which you can see for yourself here. One of the oldest names in the fashion business gets a new look as Danny Sangra continues working with Louis Vuitton Hommes on a range of prints. The feathers artwork - a detailed black and white illustration of overlapping feathers, shown here - is one of the ones that made it to production. Rose Stallard and Revenge is Sweet have worked on the latest themed packs for Don't Panic. This is a unique pack found in selected shops, bars, universities, art spaces and distributed outside alternative music events and launch parties. It contains all sorts of arts and culture goodies and information for cities all around the world. Heavy Pencil is a monthly event at the ICA, where professional illustrators come down with their pens, pencils and some favourite music to interpret through drawing. Next month's event will be on 3rd December in the ICA bar with illustrators including our very own Rose Stallard and Danny Sangra in association with London's Print Club. It will be a festive, magical evening of drawing, music, cocktails and glitter, all accompanied by Simon Bookish and his new band. As we mentioned last month Steven Wilson had been commissioned by AKQA Amsterdam to create a portrait of the Chelsea player, Jon Obi Mikel and the New Air Max 90 for Nike. The theme of the piece is reinvention, and Steve interviewed Jon himself to create a more personal piece, drawing on the athlete's favourite music, hometown, creative and sportive inspirations. See the artwork here and we're pleased to say that we can know show you the full animation.Click here to see the animation in full. This month Si Scott has also produced a new personal piece that will become a series in 2010. We'd like to share with you some new work created by Masa. Here you can see a personal piece entitled 'Eterial Landscape'. You'll find more of these concepts from Masa in his type and mixed media portfolios. 01.12.09
