by
http://www.piqproducts.com/
Our friends at PIQ are hosting a custom show starting July 11th in their Grand Central, NYC store. Platform for the "Perfect Examples" show will be the 5-inch MadL, and the artist roster looks pretty sweet: Sket One, Carson Catlin, Juan Muniz, Jason Thomas, Jeremy MadL (of course!), Jeremi Rivel, Crummy Gummy, Yema Yema, Riot 68, The Graphix Chic, Brian Flynn, Dillion Boy, Dolly Oblong & more!

Come visit PIQ on July 11th to help kick off this show! Grand Central is pretty damn convenient to... everyone. So there's no excuse. I'll even make locating PIQ easy for you: go to the famous clock in the middle of the main room of Grand Central. On either end of the room there are "passages"... walk towards the one marked "Shuttle Passage" and you will see the bright colors of PIQ in front of you. Easy.

I am helping organize few cool shows at PIQ later this year, so stay tuned for info on those.

Some Assembly Required - A Custom Toy Show at Hope Gallery

by

Hope Gallery Tattoo, in New Haven, is hosting it's first show of the year, a Custom Toy show titled "Some Assembly Required". Opening April 12th, "Some Assembly Required" will feature works from artists from all over the country.

One of the pieces in the show was produced by Kevin Derken, titled Death Head Krote. Kevin combined a Makerbot Replicator 3D printed skull and the legs of a 1/20th scale Maschinen Kreiger Krote. The end product turned out pretty nice.

Joe Capobianco is also going to release some new custom painted Vavava VooDoo resin pieces. VaVaVa VooDoo is a piece which Joe has had in the works for several years now, from original sketches to the hand painted pieces going to be made available at the show. 
Photo: Ok folks here she is. Only 4 color variants, 3 of each for a grand total of 12 VaVaVa VooDOO Gals. Check out my web blog www.joecapobianco.com for price and full details. #vavavavoodoo #kustom #capogal #limitededition @hopegallerytattoo
VaVaVa VooDoo by Joe Capobianco
A total of 13 VooDoo girls have been painted up, with each VooDoo piece having a special event only price of $200 each. After the event, the VooDoo gals will be made available online but will be priced a bit higher at $275 each plus shipping. To make the event even more enticing, Joe is going to be raffling off one of the 13 VooDoo girls, a special one-off stand alone. Unfortunately, this is only for event attendees and the winner must be present to win, but if you are heading to the event, why would you leave early?

So, if you are in the area on April 12th, be sure to head on over to Hope Gallery Tattoo and check out some great works. Opening reception will run from 7-11PM.

October 19, 2013 at Kidrobot San Francisco: Big C's Bay Area Artist Series to Benefit Pit Bulls

by
TOMORROW OCTOBER 19th at Kidrobot SF: a custom toy event to benefit Bad Rap, a pit bull rescue organization.

So this started one day when a fellow artist and I had lunch together. He said there was an LA series and that we should have a Bay Area series. There were a ton of reasons that we decided to make it a charity thing... Bad Rap was the natural choice. They are big enough that they make a difference, yet small enough that a small amount of money will make a big impact. If you don't know about Bad Rap, you should check them out

After we got this all together and started recruiting artists, the KRSF manager (Korena), said she wanted to have the show at their shop. Originally we were going to do a blind box series and sell them online, but a show sounded like fun and a lot more exposure. We decided that silent auction would be more fun for the event then blind boxes, so that was that. 

This event, for me, went from being exposure driven to being all about the dogs. So much so that when a SoCal artist asked if he could be a part of it, I was all for it. So I guess it should be called the Bay Area Artist Series and 2bitHack. Haha. 

It's been a lot of work, and I wasn't able to advertise nearly enough, but it's gonna be a ton of fun. I'm starting the auctions at a WAY cheap price $20 and there will be BINs of $150, in case any ones sees a piece(s) that they can not live without. And each auction win comes with a raffle ticket for the 8" Golden Ticket dunny by artist Salamander. This event is sponsored by Jarritos. There will also be food on hand. 

I'm hoping to sell out the pieces, possibly get some more monetary donations and maybe even place some dogs in good homes. I think that's the entire story.

Printed Matter show at Giant Robot - GR2 12/17/12 - 1/9/13

by
The next show at Giant Robot's gallery, GR2, is called Printed Matter. The show is based around the creation of multiples, both in 3D and 2D. In most respects, society owes a lot to the technology behind the original printing press, which allowed the rapid creation of multiples, with regards to Printed Matter. Whether or not this show has anything to do with this thought, I imagine that there will be lots of great art to be seen and purchased. The opening reception for this show is on Friday December 22nd from 6:30-10PM, with the actual show running from December 17th to January 9th, 2013. If you're in the LA area, head on down to GR2 and check it out.

A 3D example of multiples from Scott Wilkowski. Based on the Giant Robot Big Boss Robot, Scott Wilkowski once again applies his Infected resin theme to this great little piece.

Kidrobot NY will be hosting ART WARS: A New Hope on October 11th, 2012 from 6:00 - 10:00 PM.  (For those keeping track, that is the first night of New York Comic Con.)

Scott Kinnebrew and Jason Chalker are serving up an evening of Star Wars themed customs and 2D art.  The Tenacious Toys Blogging Crew had to shut down the trash compactors on the detention level and pay a pretty penny to a certain Mandalorian but we managed to get exclusive shots of a few of the customs AND the information that there will be TRADING CARDS!
