5 EYED DRAGON

Once again I hit up Dragatomi for second Saturday, Up to bat this month was Leecifer, Dril1, Brent Nolasco, Southern Drawl and Betso. Amazing art, amazing people. madness ensued, cheetos were eatin, dragotomi got bombed with graff... (kinda feel bad for being involved with that)...



I got to meet my man Spanky Stokes who came up for the show and happens to run one of he coolest sites in the world...Spanky posted this video..check it out...



very excited for next months "Not Vinyl" show which I'm in...

WONDERCON

Friday started the Wondercon comic convention @ Mosconi center where they hold the Apple conferences. Leecifer and I rolled in to drop off some toys and visit some our favorite toy companies and shops, and cruise around to check out the event...



1st we stopped by Dragatomi's Booth where Jesse Hernandez was doing a signing for his wondercon release and getting filmed by Sony for a new video game he worked on called Mod Racers coming out for sony PS3.



After saying hello there, We bounced our way over to super 7 to say hello to Glenn and the peops at their booth...then I spotted this guy on the way over to Neon Monster...I need him...anyone want to get me a early xmas present ?





over @ neon monster there was a resin showcase curated by my man Jeremy...with rotocast resin and all kinds of cool stuff to check out...





next it was over to the Blamo toys booth where we got to check out one of Mikee's official outfits, (he had a few) and check out the response to Leecifer's run of customs for Blamo and wondercon...




We snuck out early on Friday and headed over to the Lebasse Gallery Show in Japantown to see some new work by some dope artists...















Then it was off to the Haight to check out D-Structure and the "Brown Bag" Show hosted by Rueben Rude...which actually featured some pieces by Rueben's parents!



After the loudness of the "Brown Bag" show we met back up with the dragatomi folks at their condo where real fun broke out...if you don't know about quiet fox or his evil twin fucking fox or talented feat that is the panda kick you better ask somebody...



after a awesome time with Dragatomi and crew I snuck back home for a few hours to work on Dexter my latest Munny...



Dexter cracked...don't ask...wanted to cry..went to sleep instead...

woke up a few hours later to start Day 2

dril1 came to scoop me up in the morning and of were back into the madness.



Dril1 and Jennie Wolfe @ super7 booth who both had some awesome work displayed @ the Dragatomi booth..



Got to meet the peoples at Kuso Toys who hooked me up with this awesome blank to customize for a show they are having this June in LA...much love thanks guys...






then i got to hang out with my buddy Rueben for a bit...Reuben is extremely talented and a super cool dude...He was one of the 1st guys to start coloring comics by computer and used to work for image comics...he took me over to their booth and introduced me to the artist Eric Larson. We chilled for a bit while I watched Eric PEncil and Ink a spiderman page...pretty spectacular



this was as close as I managed to get to the Zero friends booth while Mr. Pardee was there signing autographs. Allthugh I was a little upset they had Walrus Riders for 5$ less then I bought mine last week plus signed by the man himself...boo me for not waiting til wondercon...



after a some mexican food and a crazy day to of the con...it was over to super7 where people were lined up down the street to get in to see the new gargamel show.



and somehow through the madness I got to unbox a playwith a IPad on release day. still don't think I'm getting one.





after Super7 it was back down the street to the New People Gallery and the Vinyl Addiction Party hosted by Jesse Hernandez.



KOzik and Berliner Sculpt ...GID ?



not what you would think...but still cool...



so many toy peoples showed up to this thing...the event had two showings of episodes of Vinyl addiction...one featuring Leecifer and Dril1 who I was sitting inbetween and Mikee from Blamo formally of KR who was sitting right in front of me...and roy miles who I got to chat with before and after the show...there were raffles and music and drunk Leecifers and cool peoples all around.
