SDCC 2012 AFTERMATH

 Soaring above and beyond my normal call of duty as Social Media Ambassador for Kidrobot (like managing the line wasn't fun enough), I busted out some of my silk screens and did what I do best -- LIVE FASHION VANDALISM. I customized 78 t-shirts with acrylic paint in front of an endless sea of pop culture enthusiasts. Although it took an hour longer than expected, everyone that made a shirt reservation was psyched with the final product.

Also enjoy this super rad mini documentary on the urban vinyl movement at SDCC by dopevinyl.tumblr.com. Footage of me picks up at 8:24, but don't fast forward or you'll miss my homies Rsin at Dragatomi's Booth as well as Woes, Luke Chueh and Touma throwing down some fresh paint at Munky King's after party.

Custom Creations For Dragatomi SDCC 2012

This year for SDCC, I will have a slew of [O8SATCLES] and t_po customs taking the shape of Kozik's infamous Labbits and Google's Androids. They will stake their claim amongst the ton of talented custom art toys at appearing at Dragatomi's booth 4935, July 11-15. These 2 'droids will be mixed in Dragatomi's custom artist series and will join 59 other blind boxes created by the following 25 bad-asses:

Betso • Jay222 • DrilOne • ValleyDweller • Mr. Munk • Leecifer • Sergio Mancini • Igor Ventura • Ardabus Rubber  • Mike Die • Shawn Wigs • JC Rivera • Nebulon 5 • Wheelbarrow • UnCle • J*RYU • Ritzy Periwinkle • Podgy Panda • Scott Tolleson • Emily B • JFury • Skinner • John "Spanky" Stokes • Jeremiah Ketner • Task One •

My fresh new 10" and four 1.5" [O8STACLES] Labbits are each 1of1 works of art and will each be sold as individuals. Pricepoints vary -- $350 and $40. 

I will also be releasing ty_po labbit series 1. These 11 lil graphic bastards stand 1.5" tall and are blind boxed for $40 each.

Pushing it to the limit this year, I joined forces with my uber-talented homie, J*RYU on a 10-inch Labbit called Gothictype.

MADE 2 ORDER - TOYKILLYA

This custom blend of [O8STACLES] & ty_po styles on MUTTPOP's Tequilla figure was a recent commissioned custom for an esteemed private collector. "TOYKILLYA" was quite a challenge and is at the current pinnacle of my art toy works.

I look forward to continue creating customs on diverse platforms. If you have a platform toy that needs a refreshing coat of typographic expressionism please do not hesitate to contact me.
