Site visitors will be pleased to see designs from underground and poster artists well represented by the likes of Frank Kozik, Liz McGrath, James “Dalek” Marshall, Supakitch, Koralie, Drew Millward, Richt and Todd Slater. The artist’s designs are cued in the ARTCOTIC store and anticipated to sell out during the inaugural debut.

Each month there are open submissions where artists are invited to submit designs in three designated themes in ARTCOTIC’S Collaborate section. At the end of each month one design will be chosen from each theme, produced and featured to sell in the ARTCOTIC store.

The designs will be produced in limited edition runs of 500 or fewer pieces printed on ARTCOTIC’S exclusive custom-crafted garments. Once the run is sold out, the design is retired, never to return.

In addition to the limited edition apparel, ARTCOTIC’S website will profile innovative filmmakers, artists and independent musicians, providing exposure in the Showcase and Turntable sections with interviews, exclusive art, limited edition apparel and MP3’s.

Featured monthly bands such as Liz McGrath’s band Miss Derringer will be highlighted in the January 1st launch and Pinback who will be featured the following month. The initial Showcase feature will focus on Steve Niles and Bill Sienkiewicz (creators of the new comic book “The Sinner”). Director David Slade (Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night) will be highlighted in February.

ARTCOTIC is primarily a member based site, but allows all site visitors to explore the Showcase, Turntable and Artist Profile areas.

ARTCOTIC members however, will receive unique benefits which include the opportunity to preview and purchase new designs before they are in wide release, monthly newsletters and updates, and be able to communicate directly with some of their favorite artists, both in the collaborative stage of each month’s new designs and through exclusive access to artist profiles.

This is the man French an Aldershot native (UK) but now firmly entrenched in Brixton.

This young man’s amazing line drawings are feisty, fetid and firmly frightening… very twisted and just the way we like things here!

A few recent successful exhibitions and some commissions for Plan B mag have kept French off the skate deck, but put him on the road to drawing based riches so he can invest in more mesh hats and Tetley Tea!

Look out for this frighteningly furry rocker!

Not unlike our beastly friends down at B-East Mag! (Respect to Vijai! Riga is now in tatters after your visit, and the ladies are just starting to feel safe once more! We look forward to your return!)

Young Mr Beastman’s portfolio is the beginning of a more in-depth study into the strange creatures that lurk down under. Follow our footsteps over the next few weeks as we go walk about and try to uncover more than just the immensely talented Mr Jeremyville!

Until then let your mouse click away on the Beastman! (Big thanks to Miss Kate G).
