PHLASH Set 1
Yetis in four flavours.
By Phil Ashcroft
"Ashcroft’s activity as an artist often defies easy categorisation, situating his practice within traditional gallery settings, as well as live-painting projects as a member of the Scrawl Collective in alternative locations alongside his collaborations in graphic design, consumer products and illustration. Combining source material from British landscape painting, nineteenth century Japanese woodcuts, and graphic street art, Ashcroft integrates varied visual styles to generate a crossover between space, object and environment."
price: £ 4.00

I found this set of button badges on a japanese site. I can´t tell you much about them, not even the price (a few thousend Yen I guess...), because I can´t read a word there. Well, it might sound strange, but I love to visit those funny japanese sites for just looking at designs and images and not understanding a word:)
