Laughing Inside

All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic, high-quality, one-inch (25 mm) metal-back badges with a so-called D-pin fastening. Small stickers on the reverse provide details such as the artist’s name, release date and series number. This growing collection of mobile mini canvases includes more than 1,700 individual designs by over 650 graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and artists from around the world. It brings together all contributions to the FL@33 / Tomi Vollauschek-curated B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) series, winners of Stereohype’s international open-call button badge design competition, and additional collections including the special collaborations, AFOMFS Series, MICA Series, 10×10 Series and Emoji Series. All badges are manufactured in Europe.

Born 02.09.73 in Budapest, Hungary, David moved to London in 1986 at the age of 12, and started life as a British person. He studied graphics at Brighton University and then at the Royal College of Art in London. His method of producing imagery can be compared to a reverse washing machine, starting with a pristine page and gradually adding all manner of filth until a balance is reached. David’s output is prolific, his relationship with Big Active has led to commercial commissions for many of the world’s leading brands, bands, and editorial clients. Exhibitions include Parco Gallery in Tokyo in 2004, and in 2005, 'Graffiti Meets Windows' live painting event in Osaka and solo shows 'New Work' at London's Magma Gallery and another one in Slovenia. He now lives and works in Brighton.
