SDCC - Last Day

If you've seen me throughout the week, you most likely have caught me pimping Sketchbot to whoever will stop and listen. ;) This photo courtesy of John Stokes, from the excellent SpankyStokes.com


I finally met up with Jack from VinylPulse. We had met very briefly at NYCC (like, the last 5 minutes on the last day before he had to run off to the airport) and it was nice to have a more relaxed chat. I would later have dinner with him and his wife, along with Brent Nolasco, and Vince and Bicky from My Plastic Heart.

Great to see the giant MOD:1 at Supermodifiedstudios booth.


Tara McPherson had quite a bit of work available at her booth.


This week has flown by! Too tired after the long days to edit and post the plethora of pictures I've taken, however, I promise to upload the massive set to Flickr once I get back to Bklyn on Monday. Now off to endure the last day of SDCC...

Tara McPherson @ Kid Robot Pirate Store NYC

A quick morning post to point you to a few pictures I took last night from the NYC Kid Robot Pirate Shop.  Tara McPherson was putting the finishing touches on a giant Dunny figurine she started painting last Friday.  Using only acrylics, the finish has a clean appearance with some visible brushstrokes that keep it in that "hand-made" realm.  She then applies several clear varnish coats for sealing and protecting the finish.  Definitely head down to the store if you're in town to see this up close in person.

Weekend Art Openings at My Plastic Heart and Jonathan Levine Gallery

For the 2nd week in a row, Jonlyn and I attended a few really nice art openings.

Friday night was a joint show by Krista Huot and Parskid at My Plastic Heart.  Both artists have really unique characters, and their respective worlds crossed over nicely in the few collaborative paintings that accompanied their own pieces.

Saturday night, Jonathan Levine Gallery hosted two incredible shows, Tara McPherson's "Lost Constellations" and Lori Earley's "Fade to Gray."  Definitely try to view these up close before the show ends.  Especially exciting to see were the fiberglass sculpts of Tara's skull flower and "Mr. Wiggles" characters.
