Framed prints and prints in tubes at an affordable price(starts from 100rmb) will be available to purchase at the show as gifts for the holiday season.

New art print was born! 'Eyes Wide Open' is created by Nini for OSPOP's charity event "Proudly Made In China" at SOURCE Shanghai - sales of all the prints are being donated to Compassion for Migrant Children – a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting education for the children of China’s hardest workers.






It's a 4-color print on 300g high-quality black card paper, in limited edition of 100. Signed by the artist and stamped by IdleBeats.

We recently designed and hand-printed this gig poster for Maybe Mars' Shanghai showcase at 'JUE' music + art festival, a concert of two awesome Chinese bands - AV OKUBO and SNAPLINE.

These two bands are both great but with different music styles, so Nini hand-drew a Fire Dragon to stand for the spirit of Av Okubo and a Sea Monster as the Snapline part, maybe you can feel the hot and coldness while listening to them.



"JUE | Music + Art is an independent urban arts and music festival in both Shanghai and Beijing. Now in its third year, JUE is a collection of alternative, creative and progressive arts and music events over a three-week period every March, presented by Split Works."

'Late night Screen Printing Club' activating!




Done! 4 colors + 60 edition in all.


We will be selling this batch along with other IdleBeats handmade art on the concert night at Dream Factory. Come grab one and more importantly - don't miss this great show!
