The Rollie Show Pics!

I am uploading a few pics that I took at the Rollie Show but for my full set of images, please check out the Flickr page I have dedicated to the Rollie Show! I am sure NEMO, OsirisOrion and others will be uploading more images and video as soon as they can sift through all the images they took!
I know for a fact that NEMO used up an 8GB chip taking pics so he has a bunch more images than me.
In particular I think you should check out the stop-motion video of OsirisOrion painting live at the Rollie show, I always find the way he goes about getting his characters on canvas fascinating...
I am working today on getting all Rollies up for sale in their own section on Tenacious Toys, so stay tuned to see all of them up close & personal.
We had a TON of amazing talent come through for this show; I guarantee you will be impressed at the work people put into their Rollies!

Rollies Show at All the Right: Oct. 30th, 6 to midnite!

I just visited All the Right with NEMO last night so I could scope out the location for the Rollie show next Friday night.
I have to say that All the Right FAR exceeded my expectations. First of all, it's easy to get to using the 7 train- Junction Blvd is an express stop so you can grab any 7 train and it will stop at Junction Blvd.
A short walk up Junction Blvd to 37th Ave gets you to the store, which is located at 35-61 Junction Blvd.
Inside I found a spacious second floor shop with hardwood flooring running from front to back!
In addition to spray paint, paint markers and all the requisite supplies for writing, All the Right sells a LOT of high-end design label streetwear. I even spotted a Mishka jacket! Hoodies, vests, really nice jeans, high-end t-shirts and a ton of sweet sneakers that would make any sneakerhead drool, all arranged tastefully on racks and shelves...
In short, a great location for the Rollie show!
NEMO knows the owner of the shop and I got to meet him. He was psyched to host our custom show! Sneakers and clothing will be cleared out so we can mount the show.
Here are the pics of the shop:

All the Right custom sneaker:
This sneaker rack has nice spotlighting on it and will be cleared of sneakers to display the custom Rollies:
Windows looking out over the intersection, with blue neon around them. Can't miss this shop:
The entrance to All the Right:
Coming up the stairs, you're surrounded immediately by artwork:
Right at the top of the stairs, you find racks of clothes, including that blue jacket by Mishka, and a video game console for your street fighting pleasure:
The All the Right staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about streetwear.
This is one of the 2 rooms that look out over the intersection:
This front room will feature live artwork during the Rollie Show:

The checkout counter of All the Right, where you can buy cans of paint, paint markers, nice black sketchbooks, hip hop CDs, and maybe spot some designer toys and customs by NEMO:

Thousands of spray cans in huge racks behind that gate on the left:

All the Right is decorated with vinyl toys above the racks of clothes!
NEMO and I are super excited for this custom show, we've already received a lot of customs back from participating artists and they look top-notch!
Please stop by next Friday, October 30th. There's going to be custom Rollies, live painting, music & more!
