Freakin’ Awesome !

Events No Comments
‘The Freaks’ come out Friday night, as an elite group of Brighton’s most talented illustrators, designers and image makers show their stuff.
The exhibition has been curated and will include work by the freakishly gifted pair, Ollie ‘Mega’ Munden & Johnny McCulloch. It will also boast such talents as Imakethings, Yuko Michishita, Velvet Spectrum and Thomas Burden to name a few.
Each contributing artist has been hand selected as part of the Freakshow, housed in St. Peters Church and will open Friday April 30th (7-9pm). The show will be on view every Saturday throughout May as part of the 2010 Open House Festival happening across Brighton.
Details about the opening, artists and venue can be found at the website.
We’ll be there… so come out, show love and prepare to get fully freaked out!!!

Changing Face!

Shop news 1 Comment
Today is a big day round here, a changing day. We’ve taken the walls back to white and we’re going to be rockin’ a whole new look here at Scooter & Jinx this Summer,
thanks to our mate farkFK. He’ll be in store all weekend Farking up the place and making it feel like home again!

If you know anything at all about the man, you know that he’ll paint pretty much anything, anywhere, anytime… he lives for it. His work has taken him half way across the world and back again, he attacks walls both interior and exterior with one mission in mind – brightening up the place and putting a smile on someone’s face.
He often turns his hand to customising vinyl toys and is known and envied for his flawless finishes. Don’t take our word for it, check out his flickr page and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
We’d love to tell you what he’s got in store for us but we haven’t got a clue – he’s kept a tight lid on the whole thing!!! Come on down and see for yourself if you happen to be round our way, keep an eye on the twitter stream as we’ll be uploading pics of progress and general mayhem as it happens or check out our flickr page for a full set on Monday, once we’ve fully recovered! One thing is for certain, this weekend is gonna get messy.
It also makes up proud to announce that farkFK’s custom work will be available exclusively through Scooter & Jinx both in store and online. If you’ve always wanted one of his pieces or just to see them up close and personal we’ll have a dedicated display of his work on show at all times, so stop in and get a look. If you’ve got your own ideas and are interested in commissioning him for custom work,
we’re pretty sure we can help with that to so don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Be good, til next time.

Hey Gang – New artist postcards in!

Art & Prints, Shop news No Comments
Good to be back and see everyone slowly emerging from winter hibernation. Here at HQ, we’re blowing off the dust and throwing open the windows wide to let in a few rays to warm ourselves by. Spring is well and truly starting to get sprung round here!
Now I know what you must be thinking, and don’t worry yourselves because, while you were quietly enjoying your wintery slumber we were plotting, scheming and hatching up some cracking plans!
As an ode to Spring and all things new, we’ve got a lot of happenings happnin’. The first of which is a really exciting reveal to kick things off.
Some of you may or may not know that when we opened doors we launched a series of exclusive, artist-designed postcards and the new batch is fresh off the press! (thanks to @rik1p and Ripe Digital, our printer of choice and part time photographer!)
This marks the start of a new relationship and what we hope is going to end up being a fruitful adventure between ourselves and our new mate Katari (his Mother calls him Tom)!
We fell in love with his knack to knock out sweet ass repetitive patterns and character designs… you wrap that up with a hand drawn, homegrown feel and you have something that is unmistakably Made By Katari!!!
We hope you love them as much as we do, nothing makes us happier than working with untapped talent and wrangling new artists into the S&J family… so give him a warm fuzzy welcome and keep your eyes peeled for more exclusives by Katari brought to you by Scooter & Jinx!
As an added bonus, a collection of downloadable designs for your desktops and iphones will be made available on our site,
these designs will be going up any day now and when they’re hot and ready to download
we’ll give a shout.
In the mean time, dust off your roller skates and shades- we’ll catch you all sooner rather than later.
Be good, til next time.

Finally!! They’ve errrrrm Drrrrropped!

Toys No Comments
February saw the launch event for Droplet Series 2, hosted by the man himself, the much loved and mad respected Gavin Strange aka JamFactory. He teamed up with FiftyFifty in Bristol, and got by with lots of help from his friends to pull off one of the coolest ‘independent’ toy releases the UK has ever seen.
The illuminati of the toy world were out in force and the fans were giddy with excitement, they literally came from all corners of the UK to support the artist and the event, not only was it a triumph for the combined efforts of Gav & co, it was as a great big WIN for the UK toy scene at large!
So without another second of hesitation, we give you Droplet Series 2.

Designed by Gavin Strange and produced by Crazylabel, these 2” drips of goodness are now available in the S&J webshop, just a click away! Series 1 is has long been sold out and these lovely little fellas aren’t likely to hang around for long, so get yours while the getting is good!!!
We love em’ and we hope you do too! Be good, til next time – S&J xx
