We just finished creating a new triple CD release for Ministry of Sound, album artwork, digipack, and motion.  A wonderfully creative process and one which brings together a lot of our passions and ambitions for 2010.

And this was our second-choice paper-cutout piece for the cover… we were in love with this piece for a while, but finally separated our attachment to it after realizing that the option above had more kick and legibility on the shelves.

It’s always a pleasure to work for the Sunday Times, and their Style Magazine provides some of the most fun editorial briefs around.  Here’s a couple of illustrations we just created for their upcoming issues on the subject of horoscopes… particularly Aries and Virgo.  It’s all a load of hocus-pocus if you ask me… but maybe I was destined to be a naysayer.

The fine folks over at Click For Art are about to release something special, and of course we had to get in on the act.

These are some of the first off the press – a limited edition washbag and eyemask set.  Well, we say washbag, but it could just easily be a pencil case, stash-bag, or…

Buy them here…  just in time for Christmas! (Or Ded Moroz day for the Russians among us).

Vault49 worked together with Quirk & Hyll to develop illustrations for their new website homepage. Our work is featured alongside other lovely Debut Art familios.

See it live here.

We’ve decided we’re going to have a Russian Christmas this year, in honour of Kat, our nomadic Russian designer.  Apparently, Christmas was banned in Russia in 1917 so they came up with this dude called Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) instead of Santa Claus.  He is the shit!  Straight out of Power Rangers…

In our blossoming creative relationship with Profero, this lenticular piece is another tasty morsel.  5ft tall, photographed below fresh off the press and prior to mounting in their NYC office.  The piece has four animated stages revealed through the lenticular design.

iiiiin the red corner, fresh from the Kid Robot exhibition, and now rockin the Vault49 shop, please give a warm welcome to El Diablo… El Grand Padre… El Cojones del Perro… it’s Vault49’s giant Munny!!

The perfect Christmas present for anyone who likes big plastic things covered in paint, oh, and quite possible the finest piece of collector art ever… .EVER… and it’s available in the Vault49 shop.

There’s lots more goodies in the Vault49 shop too, perfect for all your Christmas needs, including just one pair of skis left too, in time for next week’s snowfall…

Here’s a few pics of our lecture series/seminar last week for Design Week Monterrey.  An incredibly well organized event by CEDIM, and with a great line up of talent… we learned a lot.

Vault49 Limited Edition Cup & Saucers available now at ClickforArt.com… (must be held with pinkie finger extended while wearing a monocle.)  Only 250 of these beauties will ever be made!

Last week we took part in the MUNNYWORLD custom toy exhibition. Check out some of the photos from the night and a look at our little Mexican wrestling inspired MUNNY!!!
