Art of Bruce Whistlecraft

On July the 1st the Art Hustle vintage style bubblegum card packs go on sale.

I was honoured to be asked to be a part of series one of this collectors card set made up of artists from around the world.

The Art Hustle is a boutique set of artist and art-based trading cards exhibiting an international group of 75 artists working in street art, toy art, kaiju, sketch, illustration, painting, aerosol art, poster art, tattoo art, digital art, collage, sculpture, photography and more. Inspired by trading cards produced from the 1960’s through the 80’s, the set offers up some vintage-inspired flavour including chipboard card stock and the much-loved wax paper wrapper. Cards also come with interesting facts on the backs that you don’t want to miss.

I have done a bunch of ink drawings on the cards to be randomly inserted in the packs. All the artists in the series have also done original works for insertion so you could get a piece of original art with your bubblegum stick.

Here are some of mine.

I hope it makes the cards smell the way they did when I was a kid.. (It was Hammer Horror cards for me back then..)

A new figure due the end of this year from Arts Unknown.

I have just finished all the design layouts and colourways on this and I am super happy with how it’s looking.
Proto sculpts in the works.

The fourth yo-yo in the artist series created by The Steve Brown Gallery  will be released Thursday, May 27th only at www.stevebrowngallery.com. This model will feature artwork provided by Doktor A.

This Artist Edition Yo-Yo will be limited to 45 pieces worldwide, and will never be manufactured again.
One side will be laser-engraved with original art, while the other side will be engraved with the artist’s signature and the Steve Brown Gallery logo.

Each yo-yo retails for only $15.00

The yo-yos are made in the United States in the traditional fashion of yo-yos from the 1920s, turned from a single piece of Hard Rock Maple. These wooden yo-yos are meant to evoke a simpler time. The yo-yo is the second-oldest toy in the world and still one of the most popular.

Naturally sustainable BAMBOO is rapidly emerging into the fashion world. Fabric woven from bamboo yarn is light, almost translucent, and softer than cotton. It has a natural quality that feels like silk, but has the advantage of being machine-washable. This natural fibre is hypoallergenic, absorbent, and fast drying. It is naturally anti-bacterial and will not hold odour. Like other natural fibres, it allows the body to breathe as the fabric absorbs the perspiration away from the body.
It also is the most sustainable of the natural fibres. It is fast-growing – the type of bamboo used for making fabric, commonly known as Moso, can reach a mature height of 75 feet in just 45 to 60 days. Because of its natural antibacterial properties, it needs no pesticides. This fabric is cooling in summer, warm in winter, and environmentally friendly all year round.
