The wooden dinosaurs keep on shambling in! The show is this Friday, so let’s see who I can squeeze in here. I can’t help but notice that Scribe’s badass lizard bent the original format more than just a little, but I have hardcore respect for his woodworking skills. As a guy who has more than [...]

Yosiell Lorenzo (aka Project Detonate) first got in touch with ToyCyte about his Crooked Ways custom show in October 2008. His seamless painting style and cute, but corrupt, characters made me an instant fan.

Yosiell Lorenzo of Project Detonate has his first solo show at the No Regret Tattoos and Art Gallery in Naguatuck, CT. I’m really digging the clean paint and crooked storyline of his Crooked Way Academy customs. I asked Yosiell about The Academy and he said: it’s “a fictious school I created; it’s the theme of [...]
