Pottering around in the Wonder Chamber

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Well well, its been sometime since the last post. So let me tell you a little about what has been happening in the Wonder Chamber. We have some new work, custom toys, and a sneak peak at one of the muti monsters that will be hidden in New York.

This is a new digital drawing by Kat, MissYucki is concentrating hard, conducting magic with her little minion. It will soon be featured in our shop and in our products gallery. And boy did it inspire a whole lot of new ideas… there will surely be more in this series, in fact we’ve even come up with a name: The Council. It will explore the magic that conducts through us all when we are being overly creative. Ever had so many ideas that you cannot sleep for them buzzing about in your head and overflowing off the bed, well MissYucki and her minions have found a way to tap into these magical overflows. She’s very busy conducting magic right now…

We have just added this lovely baby meryucki to our Products gallery. It was especially commissioned, and Alba lovingly crafted, customized and hand-painted every detail. We hope that she is swimming around blowing bubbles in her new home. You can check out the product gallery to see more of our custom MissYucki dolls HERE! Don’t forget that we will happily design and make a MissYucki doll for you, email us and we can discuss whatever plan you may have… we can’t wait to infuse it with pageant power just for you.

And without further ado, check out this critter, he’s super delicious and has been hiding in our minds all summer. He was birthed the other day by Alba, and hopefully will soon be catching some rays in New York, in the dying days of summer. He’s still so white and new born, Oh he makes us shiver with delight! Can you imagine the lucky person who may find him hidden in the streets of NY? We hope he finds himself a good home. Remember to keep on the look out for our MissYucki Plush Treasure. This little love bomb could be yours. He will be out there in the next few weeks along with a bunch of other plush muti monsters, as part of our Muti Monster Pop up project. Free to take home, re-hide or present to your friends.

In other news MissYucki was featured in the 3rd Quarter of the Design Indaba Magazine along with other notable South African designers. And And and we have a few more wallpapers for your computer, featured on Glam Desktops… you can see them here.
Thank you to those of you who have been leaving comments, it is oh so very nice to hear from you. Sorry if it takes us some time to filter them thru, we seem to be inundated with SPAM. grrrr indeed! Perhaps we shall mix up a potent batch of spam zapping muti to scare them off! :D Pageant Power!

MISSYUCKI LEAVES GRAFFITI TREASURE FOR THOSE OBSERVANT ENOUGH TO FIND IT!!


Click HERE to visit the Gallery!

MissYucki has been travelling the world, from gritty grimy Joburg to sunbleached Barcelona,
to frenetic New York. Each city with its’ own textures, secrets, smells and magic.

With her monsters in tow, she wakes up one day in Barcelona,
the first stop on her treasure hunt, the smell of salt in the air.
The dream-travelling had been tough, but with pageant power to spare,
MissYucki felt fresh, ready to explore. She was prepared,
she had her carefully mixed magic in her pockets. Made from recently plucked seagulls,
and pan con tomate, her potions were potent. She slunk down the alleys of Raval,
and sidled up Las Ramblas. Scouting out for the best places to stash her monster treasure.

It’s the beginning of a 3 city invasion. Muti Monsters with carefully crafted messages
will be left in the wild! Care to play? Find your Muti Monsters NOW!

Barcelona, is host to the first wave:

Nationalities are a plenty from Pakistan to Peru in this Metropolis
Something different has brought everyone to this party of culture that is
Barcelona, like it or not we live wall apart, each day our existence like a
notebook willing to be influenced by whoever and whatever. For some the
pages are full and for many they are blank.

Negating the usual display space and evolving street expression, Barcelona
is seeing an influx of Yucki Graffiti’s, ready to be stumbled upon, left or
taken. Small tokoloshes whose potions are statements, waiting to be
discovered, their unique visuality enticing the willing- accidentally or
not- into a question of group identity. From Gracia to Gotic they lay like
toys in waiting ready to play with the boundaries of a population separated
by the colour of money, skin and clothing, to form in accordance with Yucki
history, an identity for the massive of a certain space.

The project is formed in unison between Miss Yucki creators Kat Cameron and
Alba Poretti and conceptual writer Becca Bland. They combine their craft
solidly to question the breezeblock walls built in a time where identity is
in flux.

Each monster has its own recipe, its secret message. Ready to change your day!
Keep a look out to find a MissYucki Monster.

And do not fear, Muti Monster secrets will soon start appearing in New York and
Johannesburg! With the help of our South African spiritual and fashion adviser
Loren Philips and man slave Thomas Blatcher,
MissYucki will be leaving muti monster treasure in nooks and crannies near you!

Keep checking back here for more information and updates!

And start Hunting for your muti monster NOW!
If you happen across one, don’t forget to send us your photos,
we want to see what mysterious lives the Muti Monsters lead! :)
