Revoltech Suzuki

Thanks to Ryanski Akira Saotome for the Revoltech Yamaguchi Suzuki toy! Its know wreaking havoc in our studio with its 4-face cube head.

Revoltech is an action figure line from the Japanese company Kaiyodo. "Revoltech" is a portmanteau for "Revolver Technology," in reference to the unique "Revolver Joint" articulation which all of the figures utilize. This gives the figures a wide range of motion and stability, allowing for many dynamic and varied poses.

Pupil - Wildlife Special Edition

We were comissioned by Pupil to design their special edition album Wildlife, a 2-cd packaging with re-mastered tracks from their Wildlife album plus demos, videos and liner notes. Extra thanks to Everywhereweshoot for helping us out on the band photos we used on the packaging. Its already out on the record bars so go grab one. We haven't updated our main site yet (we have tons to update hehe) so watch out for it, in the meantime enjoy some behind the scenes on the project....

New band logo / identity for Pupil

Mock-ups for the approved packaging

This should be the size of the liner notes/poster to be used on the album, we changed the format of it, making it smaller and fit to the digipack...


Here is the alternative design for the album which never saw the light....

We would like to thank the band and ms. Day Cabuhat for inviting us to work on their album! Enjoy!

Flocked Skulls

A few months ago, there is this vinyl toy skull by Genuine Fake called "Human" and it comes in different colorways..unfortunately, they are already sold out. Then earlier, we came across to a store selling flocked coinbank skulls, so didn't waste time and purchased it!

Hotcakes and DJ

We tried making some instant hotcakes in the studio and it turns out really well...yum! 3/4 cups of water + hotcake mix + butter as oil...perfect!

Cyber Clean

Playing around while doing a general cleaning of the studio. Introducing the original "Cyber Clean" The high-tech cleaning compound that catches dirt and kills germs! Cleans cavities, where conventional cleaner fail, and kills germs. Clearly enhances the performance of your keyboard and other devices..its so ectoplasmic!

The Next Wave

The smallest of ripples can cause the biggest of waves. Ripples triggered by the most trivial of current events or by the grandest movers of society; by the smallest demographics, or the status quo.

The Art Scene has been undulating from Past through Present, awaiting to ride the next high crest. And a speck of excitement, an upcoming talent, one new medium, or a classic's comeback -- could send the next big wave of the Future rolling.

Look at the numbers. The Next Wave is coming.

Inksurge was commissioned this year to conceptualize, design and brand the Ateneo Art Awards 2009. Keep your eyes open for further developments on this exciting project. Below are some of the mock-ups that we did for this on-going project...

Design elements used to form graphics based from existing data
