I first recognized Tara McPherson a few years ago sitting at her booth at Comic Con — it was insane. The line to meet her and have art signed wrapped around 2 other booths and basically shamed the couple other artists with signings at the time. I realized then that McPherson has the sort of […]

Ahhhh, the Yo-Yo — the treasured toy once found in Cracker Jack boxes and penny machines of people from days before color TV (yes, internet generation, those days existed). Well those were no match for this Nostalgia Yo-Yo, modeled after the 2007 World Champion model. Designed by the champion himself, Japanese master Yo-Yoer Shinobu Konmoto, […]

We were happy to sponsor The Cultyard at this year’s New York Comic-Con this past weekend, as it represented a lot of what we love here at Lost In a Supermarket. Namely art of all types, comics, vinyl toys, world class artists and oh yes — plenty of nerds. Oh-so-many nerds, in oh-so-many packages. Hot […]

The latest artist out of the Mad Decent roster, the 26-year old Mumdance (better known to his mum as Jack Adams), released his highly anticipated Mum Decent EP last week.

Inspired by traditional Japanese joinery, Twine’s Wooden Robot Man is a little cube that pops open into a robot that can hold countless poses. Elastic muscles enable him to be twisted […]

A second collection of toys from London-based designers Yum Yum, who are Beth Algieri and Jonny Plummer. The collection is called Heroes & Villains, and feature highly stylized icons of bravery and villainy. I especially dig the accessories, like the bank robber’s dynamite and zombie’s brains. Nice touch.
