If you’re in Chicago, stop by the Rotofugi Gallery and check artist Frank Kozik’s latest works. His Stoner Fort Exhibit will be up till March 20th. This is the second showing that Kozik has done with Rotofugi, and his last one sold out, so you don’t want to miss this one.

Rotofugi is an epic Designer Toy store and Gallery that has amassed a great art and toy collection including a nice spread of Badge Bomb button boxes. When Rotufugi first opened the Gallery was a small space in the back of the store, but today it has grown into a full fledge art gallery with new shows every month.

You can find Kozik’s Badge Bomb collections, remember the Kozik x Kidrobot box and his Destroy/1984 box? Rumor has it Rotofugi soon will be carrying our Super Strong magnet sets.

Badge Bomb Buttons, magnets, and Badge Bomb packaging are made in Portland, Oregon by One Inch Round.

The time has come…  Badge Bomb’s Super Strong Magnets are finally here!  And the artist line-up is… the bomb!  We’ve teamed up with regulars such as Gama-Go, Naranjas Chinas, Mr. Toast, Yummy You by Twinkie Chan, and Frank Kozik to bring your favorite new + old buttons onto the refrigerator medium.  We also began collaborating with Seltzer Goods and Andrea Kang of Harley + Boss!  

Not only are these stylistically pleasing, these magnets uphold Badge Bomb’s commitment to quality schwag: holding up to 15 pieces of paper! Wanna make your own Badge Bomb caliber magnets + buttons? Visit One Inch Round.

Thanks for kicking it at the Badge Bomb booth Kidrobot, the artists, and all the other nice folks at NY Comic Con!

We’re excited about all our new boxes! This week brings us the new Kidrobot “Smorks & Mongers” button box Series 1. We’ve limited Production to 400 boxes, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Have a store? Pick one up today.

Check out this translation of Retard Riot’s latest review in Sydsvenskan:

With a fantastic imagination à la Bosch Lyon gets his nourishment from popular culture, news flow, contemporary society, international politics and doomsday prophecies. Noah Lyon ”Look at All Your Stuff”

Galleri Thomas Wallner, Malmö, Sweden through May 27
Noah Lyon’s drawings are like graffiti-covered walls. Bright colors call you in to take a closer look; in the multitudes I’m drawn to “All Your Stuff”. A man, or is it a bird, in a wheelchair is chewing, like Moloch, on a naked figure, who is expelling gas in anticipation of death, while another guy without a head slinking away with a turd on his shoulders. Some poor wretch is flushed down the toilet, and a miserable bastard, trapped in an orange bag, is vomiting from his torture. The colors of U.S.A. are shining through like a dirty rainbow. The doomsday horn is blowing.
Figure is added to figure, scene added to scene, one image next to another, in a color scale that would do credit to any Concretist. With a fantastic imagination à la Bosch Lyon gets his nourishment from popular culture, news flow, contemporary society, international politics and doomsday prophecies. Full to the brim. It is important to say everything, all at once. Then he can leave the words and thoughts to the beholder. Implicitly he is offering his world, what does yours look like? ”Look at All Your Stuff” is the name of the exhibition!
The pressure in Lyon’s imagery is kept high by the small format. Sometimes down to mini size. Then they are small picture buttons that are also put together into “button paintings”. The effect is stroboscopic; quick punch lines about his world.
Alongside the image fury Lyon shows more conventional paintings. Loaded with air, light and dreams of a sort of American mythology. The painting “Pyramid Me” is just a small picture of a man in a cowboy hat in front of a wall that has been sewn together; the seam resembles a pole with a small owl. Within, I hear Hank Williams’ tragic dreams and painfully beautiful music!
Lyon’s images collide in a way that would have put André Breton in ecstasy.
- Thomas Millroth, art critic - Sydsvenskan April 30, 2009

Get some of Noah’s art on his rad one inch buttons - available from Badge Bomb!

The Streets of Jeremyville invaded Italy at the Area B art gallery in Milan, which opened on April 7th.  Badge Bomb even shipped them some Jeremyville button boxes made specially for the show- (we love the thought of our buttons being intercontinental.)  He has some other great events coming up too, like a Giant Robot event in New York.  Click the pic below to check out more details in the News section of his website.  Good work Jeremyville!

We wish we could check this out…  Badge Bomb button designer Noah Lyon’s work will be featured in an upcoming event showcasing works that prove pens are much mightier than swords:

“An exhibition of pen and/or marker drawings including photographs of the pens used to make them.  The over one hundred drawings in this exhibition cover a broad range of pens from the generic ball point to the traditional rapid-o-graph and feather quill to the modern array of jell and artists’ pens.”
