It’s been a long time coming, but Thunderdog has finally helped Tristan launch his own personal site. Why .net? Well, some douchebag in Japan bought tristaneaton.com. But we’ll get it back!

This is a simple, early version of his site. There’s a lot more to come (exhibitions, interviews etc.), but for now we’ve launched a full store featuring Tristan’s work and a fun gallery of random art. There is a huge variety of paintings, drawings, prints and custom work up for sale for a limited time! A lot of this work was only available for a limited time at galleries over seas, so by popular demand we’ve made his art a little more accessible for you guys.

Check him out: www.tristaneaton.net

Also featured on the site is a great time-lapse video of Tristan’s mural at Welling Court for ADHOC Gallery. 9 hours in total, squeezed down to 2 minutes!

Check it out: HERE

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. The long awaited drop of our first keychains is right now! Head over to the Thunderdog store to pick these babies up!

The MINI-MUTTS stand 1.5 inches tall and are made of injection molded ABS plastic, featuring extremely intricate, multi-color pad printing. They come with a cool Thunderdog plastic strap and keychain and are packaged in an awesome Thundermutt head shaped blister pack.

We are so proud of these suckers - we know you’ll love em’ too!

Finally, we got around to updating our bad ass iPhone app B-BOT. We’ve added about 75 new items to play with including colored eyes, curly hair, new bodies and a ton of other cool crap. Also in B-BOT 1.2 you can now upload your B-BOTs to Email, Facebook and Twitter DIRECTLY from the app! How cool is that?

If you already purchased the app, the update is free - if not, it’s only 2 bucks you cheap bastard! The update is available for both iPhone & iPad versions.

BUY IT ON iTunes

Enjoy.

Tristan was asked to contribute to an awesome mural project organized by ADHOC GALLERY this past weekend. Other artists included: Ron English, Cey Adams, CR, Cern, Mr. Kiji, Lady Pink, TooFly, Cycle, Michael DeFeo and many more. We also video taped the whole process, so keep an eye out for the video post coming soon. Tristan’s piece consisted of a wheat-pasted background with a white wash, then hand painted line art using all KRINK INK!

See some of the works here.

Big shout to our man Jesse Hernandez for hooking this up! This episode features Tristan’s work in toys as well as the Billy Bananas exhibition at Jonathan Levine Gallery. It was an honor to be featured! Also in the episode are our NY pals Interspectacular and Lev of ToyTokyo. Honorable mention goes to Tristan’s brother Matt who appears to be totally wasted in the video. That is awesome.

A couple of weeks ago, our prez Tristan Eaton was asked to paint a live mural for pop star Pete Wentz’ fashion show during Fashion Week NYC. Pete’s clothing line is called Clandestine Industries and the show was one giant party with the Dead Rabbits performing the whole time along side DJ Skeet Skeet. Pete and his wife Ashley were great people to hang out with - Thanks again guys! And special thanks to Jensen from Gallery 1988 for making it happen!

This is the final mural. It’s 8 feet by 12 feet, spray paint and ink on wood.
