If you’ve seen what the urban art community is doing lately, you’ll have noticed that it does not necessarily take a war for someone’s heart to be touched by fire. Every day, incredible artists show us that their own hearts are smoldering with creativity and expression, which can be sparked by any one of countless passing moments or events. Imagine what will happen when 43 of them from around the world create a custom Qee relating to a theme as emotionally charged as the Civil War.

Qeeology 2.5 is one of those cases of a good idea gone truly great. Opening tomorrow night- May 7th- in Lincoln, NE, the event is slated to display nearly 200 tiny custom treasures. Judging by the handful of images that have been released so far, this collection is going to exceed even the highest of expectations. Many of the finished customs could be easily mistaken for their 8″ counterparts…

The Apex is proud to announce the upcoming DIY Qee show being held at Genuine Artikle in NY on December 12th. Representing lowbrow street based artists, Genuine Artikle Gallery and Art Toy Boutique features paintings, urban vinyl, blind box, DIY & designer toys, handmade apparel and accessories. In-house printing of their limited edition clothing and exclusive collaborations with showcased artists are two of the many ways GA represents the best of the true underground art scene by showing what’s really happening under the radar.
