Matt Furie’s drawings come from a mix of child-like enchantment and momentary adult situations. His self proclaimed “…children’s book illustrations for adults” and comics have gained him a steady following in San Francisco and beyond. Last year he was awarded best Visual Artist by the SF Bay Guardian in the 20th annual Goldie awards.
Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch lives and works in San Francisco. He has exhibited work in Los Angeles, Portland Oregon, New York, Ontario Canada, and San Francisco. A few of his clients include The New York Times, Virgin Records, The Stranger, Nylon magazine, and Fantagraphics books.
Matthew Lock is an up and coming artist from Massachusetts. He was recently featured in Vice magazine and has an affinity for mountains and melting skulls. His work exudes a graphic adolescent charm mixed with a heavy dose of influence from metal music and cartoons of the past.

Rerooting Blythe Doll Hair
This popped on Crafts blog, we thought new Blythe collectors might find it interesting and helpful.
Rerooting Blythe Doll Hair – CRAFT Video Podcast from make magazine on Vimeo.
I started getting interested in Blythe when I wanted to make a three-dimensional self portrait, and was dumbfounded by the enormous community of customizers working with the Blythe Doll. One of the main online sources for customization is Puchi Collective, which houses oodles of tops for changing her eyechips, face makeup, and clothes. I was mainly interested in rerooting her hair, as the doll I acquired from co-blogger Jenny Ryan had blonde hair, and I wanted to use my own wavy red hair from a recent haircut. I made this video to illustrate the process, based on text-and-image tutorials I found on Puchi and Flickr. You can see some photos of my self portrait as Blythe in my Flickr set.
