Kano is coming strong with his Bodega figure. After being shelved for several years and finally getting the rights back for his original Bodega figure, Kano was able to start produce his original figure once again. This time around, Kano has collaborated with four other artists, each having a unique colorway and type of exclusivity: Toofly, Flying Fortress, Tristan Eaton, and Pez. The first release was Toofly's Pink Bodega, released on May 10th, with the signing held at My Plastic Heart. The Toofly Bodega edition is a retailers edition, in the Pink Colorway, limited to 100 pieces.
The Bodega figure has a great back story to it. Head on over to Kano's blog and go watch Toy Break Episode 263, to learn a bit more. As for the next release, the Kano's x Tristan Eaton Bodega is a Bait exclusive, orange colorway. Scheduled to release at Bait, in Diamond Bar on Saturday, June 29th. A signing is going to be held from 2-5pm, with both artists in attendance. Keep in mind, that signings are one of the only ways to get Kano's purple edition Bodega. Each Bodega retails for $45 and limited to 100 pieces for each artist edition(colorway). Keep an eye out on this blog for updates on the Pez and Flying Fortress releases. Go get get em! Brapp!

I was fortunate to recently meet up with Simeon Lipton, creator of upcoming Art Hustle art cards, and I scored some prototype cards from the series:
Above pictured are the following cards (double click on the image to see a bigger version):
Kozik, Dehara, Bill McMullen, Ron English, TOOFLY, Buff Monster, Tara McPherson & Alex Pardee.
The Art Hustle is a set of artist and art-based trading cards, and exhibits an international group of 75 artists working in street art, toy art, kaiju, sketch, illustration, painting, aerosol art, poster art, tattoo art, digital art, collage, sculpture, photography and more.
Inspired by trading cards produced from the 1960's through the 80's, the set offers up some vintage-inspired flavor including chipboard card stock and the much-loved wax paper wrapper.
The Art Hustle is a new frontier in Art and Trading Cards, and a hell of a lot of fun. Boxes are limited.
