My pet hate with designers website continues. eBoy have a good website apart from the fact that there is way too much going on! I don't know where to put my eyes. It works for their work, but not for a website. I digress though, as I expect their website isn't their main concern.
eBoy concentrate on pixelated artwork. To be honest it's really nice to look at, especially as these days everything is smoothed off to a perfect finish, looking at the retro stylings of eBoy is pretty cool. I have a couple of magazines with articles about them in (NOTE TO SELF: must try and scan those in when I get back to Wrexham...) and really like the stuff they produce.
If you click on the above link you can check out the image in a bit more detail. It's really interesting to see this image, their take on London, part of their ongoing eCity project. The eCity project basically involves them creating their own pixelated version of a famous city, such as London, Tokyo etc., or their own imaginary cities, and then combining unusual aspects from their own minds, for example tokyo is full of robots and monsters.
When I went shopping in Manchester, I had a look in Magma, and lo and behold the place was crawling with e-boy merchandise. Posters, T-Shirts, Vinyl figurines and even a cushion! My friend who I was with almost bought the cushion but decided not to as it was almost £50. However I bought the "London" poster for my room back home and a vinyl figure from the "Peecol" toy line created for KidRobot (KidRobot website). It's a really cool little skeleton figurine:
His name is LaCruzz. What is REALLY special about the character is that he, and every other figure from the Peecol toy series is that he has his own MySpace page where you can find out more information about his character. Really interesting and amusing, adding an extra depth to the character, makes me cherish the figure even more.
