The Mirf
We don’t get too deep into graffiti related ephemera here on the UO blog but The Mirf definitely caught our eye. The throw-up-cum-vinyl-toy-cum-wall-sculpture is something we’re digging and want to keep our eye on as it’s kinda next levs. This particular piece is designed by MINT and SERF, who’ve been keeping the boroughs covered in aerosol for years. Collector geek n.b.: The 9” long MIRF is rotary molded in soft-vinyl and made in 4 color-ways, each limited to 200 pieces and drops in June.

After a week of touring the West Coast with Team Facelift and the rest of the clan in a 15 passenger van, the MIRF is back in New York. Check out some of the highlights from the trip shot by Falcon Duran in the image gallery.

We met Eric at the Rogue Status Event. He flew in from Atlanta just to be one of the first people to buy the Gloss Black MIRF. Love this kid.

Enter The MIRF by Kasai Richardson

With the glut of “designer toys” cluttering shelves and display cases and floating around the interweb, it has naturally become a bit more difficult for designers and artists to distinguish themselves from the plastic masses. Difficult, but not impossible.

Enter The Mirf.

No, it’s not a blaxploitation-era Kung Fu flick about a housing project super who’s visited in the night by a mystical cockroach—the body of which houses the spirit of an ancient Wu Shu master—who then blesses said super with near invincibility and the fighting skills of the 12 most powerful Shaolin monks of antiquity, thus allowing him to clean up the streets and kick some Vice Lord ass, ending their reign of terror, getting the girl and generally saving the day and all that jazz.

Though that would make a pretty dope flick, The Mirf’s got little to do with the stuff of Kung Fu legend. The brainchild of 1134NYC’s graffiti duo Mint and Serf and NYC’s art toy house Thunderdog Studios, the Mirf is truly the first of its kind: a graffiti-inspired, wall-mountable soft-vinyl toy. Available in four different colorways (with 200 pieces of each), the Mirf’s creators consider the piece more of a sculpture than a toy. Getting bump from design and graffiti world luminaries such as HAZE, Claw Money and Carlo McCormick, as a bonus the limited edition piece comes in so fresh and so clean packaging which features a slide out box, silver foil and a two-sided, flocked blister tray.

And to bleed off the steam that’s been building since hype over this paradigm-shifting piece of soft-vinyl deliciousness first buzzed about the Lower East Side a month ago, 1134NYC, Thunderdog Studios, Rogue Status and Vapors Magazine are putting their power rings together to drop the Mirf bomb in dual Left Coast launch events tonight and Thursday night. New York hip-hop trio Team Facelift will be holding it down at both events. With that said, expect lots of nudity (thank you Fat Jew), more than a few Jewish girls from Long Island, a tangerine bathrobe or two and possibly even some drunken, passionate Mirf chants (most likely in the nude). You know you love it.
