Mei Mei - Octane 3 x Peskimo Exclusive

Peskimo’s world is teeming with monsters and bunnies, pattern and texture, combining quirky details and streamlined design with a generous pinch of nostalgia to create art that has won admirers far and wide. Since meeting at university in Leeds, Jodie and David saw eye to eye on robots, kittens and evil monkeys. They began to work under the name of Peskimo in 2004, and together they have crafted a vast array of characters and creations that have appeared on Tshirts, magazines, newspapers, billboards and nightclub walls. They find inspiration in cartoons, vintage graphic design and overhearing people in the post office queue. In 2006, they collaborated with Kid Robot to create a mini series of toys which featured 16 unique characters sold as 3 inch vinyl figures. They have since worked with other toy companies including Crazy Label with whom they created the iconic Monster Burp figure in 2008. Since working as Peskimo, the pair has worked with a wide variety of clients including Sony, Barclays, MTV, BBC, Vodafone and AOL. Between 1644-1911, the Manchurians ruled over China under the name of the Qing (Ching) Dynasty. This was only the second time that the Chinese people were under a foreign rule since the inception of the first Chinese Dynasty in 2000 B.C. During the Manchurian rule, the Chinese people were quite discontent with being ruled by foreigners and with being treated like second class citizens in their own country. Uprisings by the Chinese people occurred quite often and the Manchurian rulers soon banned all forms of martial arts from being practiced by the Chinese people. During the Qing Dynasty, one single house was regarded throughout China as having perfected the art of sword crafting - the House of Liu. The House's own sword fighting styles and skills were unrivaled as well. It was because of these talents and strengths that the Manchurians felt uneased with the House of Liu.
