Seen: Alex Pardee – Scratches and Abrasions
Alex Pardee threw down with his Scratches and Abrasions solo at SURU this past Saturday (7.12.08) night. Since I was in Taipei I missed the show, but long-time VP contributor Yevgeniy Shukhman did and set back shots of the art work and the party. The art work looks great. Be sure to check out SURU’s blog for more shots including a look at Alex’s killer wall mural. If you missed it, drop by the store on Melrose and check it out. After the jump – plenty more pics.

DOMA delivers the unexpected to the plush market and does it with a smile and a chuckle.The Versus Skeleton and Versus Bones (above)are great – plush within plush. They also use plush as a vehicle for thought and fun. Stupid Elephant Tank and Smoking Barrel succeed in combining cool looking toys with definite social commentary. All in all great stuff.
