    We’re coming to a conclusion on the new dan&dan vinyl toy for the end of 08.
    We can’t announce it just yet, but I can leak we’ve got the legendary Hip Hop flyer king, Buddy Esquire to create the box art!
    You can see Buddy’s amazing art in the book ‘Born in the Bronx: a Visual Record of the Early Days of Hip Hop’.

  3. 30th Star Wars Anniversary

    July 7, 2007 by admin

    I was lucky enough to be one of the participating Artists in the 30th Star Wars Anniversary held at London’s Excel centre on July 13 -15.
    Over fifty thousand Star wars fans descended over the 3 days and for the three day bonanza I created 36 original ink illustrations, two poster designs,
    two original paintings on canvas based on a 1940’s war propaganda poster, two limited addition art prints and a 14 ft Yoda spray can mural.
    Simon Pegg from Hot Fuzz /Shawn of the Dead fame purchased my customized Darth Vader helmet in which the proceedings went to a children’s charity of his choice.
    dan&dan where also the curators of the Arts Wars Darth Vader exhibition, where over fifty customized Vader helmets where on show at the Excel Centre.
    Check out Toysrevil.blogspot.com where they interviewed dan&dan after the Star Wars exhibition.

  4. Jasper, Candy, B-Boy news

    October 6, 2006 by admin

    Sorry for the lack of news folks, I’ve been really busy on some recent projects.
    One of which is my own toy ‘Jasper Stank’, urban vinyl gone rural. A cheeky lil’ Pig Farmer with bad teeth.
    Created and Manufactured by myself and partner in grime, Dan Willett.
    Dan&Dan will be releasing Jasper this December along with a host of other vinyl goodies in production for 2007.

    I’ll keep you posted on where to find the little man and other dan&dan projects and products.

    A special Thanks goes out to the Candy gang in Dublin for their Fantastic Sweettalk 11. The turn out was superb, and apart from my odd brain fart, I must say Dan&Dan rocked it.

    Thanks to Aidan, Pete Fowler & Playbeast, (Bud- Bud- Budgie man!) Brain Coldrick and his Sloth + our fine host Richard Seabrook for a great time in Dublin.

    Freestyle games have just released ‘B-Boy’ on PS2 and PSP concoles. I was lucky enough to design all the US characters along with some of

    the games environments. It’s the first cred

    ible game dedicated to the art of B-Boyin’ (Breakdance), where you can battle against other B-Boys and B-Girls from around the globe.

    It was great to see my backdrop still being used for the UK B-Boy championships held in Brixton. I dedicated it to my good friend, the late great Break DJ Leacy.
