Givaways and Pop-Up Shop for Earth Movement

These are the amazing people who donated a few toys to Earth Movement! Thank you guys! I gotta give some props to TAG, Lucy Moose, Betty Lou's Cake Pops, Maqet, Vannen Watches, Kidrobot, Circus Punks, Munky King, Color Ink Book, and Happy Panda toys for donating rad stuff to the givaways and pop-up shop for Earth Movement!

Here's the info from Earth Movement's Tumblr page: "We’re giving away STUFF from these outstanding people and companies! We’ll have a couple of cases of DIY toys, and we’ll give one to every kid under 17 who comes to the show during our Saturday, March 3rd opening (while supplies last)! By discretion of the curators, we will also give away available DIY toys to folks who are over 17 but embrace their inner kidult (without being overly obnoxious of course). The loot includes DIY OMIs, Circus Punks, Munnys, Little Cupcakes and more.

Additionally, we’ve got some very special giveaways to raffle off, like artist watches from Vannen, EARTH MOVEMENT-exclusive MAQET figurines and one awesome opportunity to have your doodle sewn into a stuffed plush by Lucy Moose all the way in Scotland!

Every kid artist in our show will also be entered into the raffle, and we will mail winners their prizes. Every attendee also gets a delicious Betty Lou’s Cake Pop on both March 1st and March 3rd (while supplies last).

Please click on our sponsors and check out their shops!"

"H8 Lets you Down, I'll Help you Up" Custom Munny


Doing a custom Munny for the Rusted Nail Gallery was fun! My custom (above), "H8 lets you down, I'll help you Up" is currently in Arizona being visited by Arizonians. I made this cute couple for the "I <3 Munny" custom munny show case which opened just a few weeks ago.

I found out about this gallery through Designer Con in Pasadena, California. Another Arizonian shop called Lulubell Bodega had a booth there too, and will contribute a piece with their children for Earth Movement!

Here's some of my favorite pieces from the show:

JMB1

I really enjoy this custom because I find this custom as a message saying love is a dark place and I found it one of the only dark pieces in the show. This custom looks like that Skyrim character, I guess because of his horns. Ha! Ha! :)

DUDA?

What a cute custom! This dunny-munny seems like a gold digger. I like the color involved in the custom because simplicity is great with dunnies!

Hollow Shells

Yet another cute custom. Just like the custom before this, I love the simplicity of color. I love the materials because they show cuteness and a parasite-like creature digging through the chest. I creature digging love this!

Allison Perez / Miss Zukie

I know Alison Perez from her toys named the Zukies. She recently released them as blind boxed figures. I like her Munny custom because her art is different in this piece. I also love this piece because of it standing on a grassy platform. I love platforms!

Earth Movement Art Show @ Kokoro Gallery


Hi Everyone!

Rumors have been said I was curating A THIRD SHOW I SAN FRANCISCO. Well, that's true! I will be curating a show with Jeremy Brautman at Kokoro Gallery called Earth Movement. The show is about the Japan Eartquake and collaborating with children in their community.

Before Earth Movement, there was a show called Love Movement. Artists, Shin & Nao were married and curated the marvelous show with help from Jeremy! Sadly, they witnessed the Japan Eartquake when they left.

There will be 50 artists in the show list including my BFFs, Lou Pimentel, Paul Cruikshank of Circus Punks, Toy Architects, and many more! Some of my kid friends, Cammy Edison, Sabi Pablo, David Biederman, and Dani Bowman will be in the show! There will be fun givaways, art, and a fun pop-up shop from more of my BFFs from Toy Art Gallery and Maqet.

The show Kicks off March 1st, 2012 for the preview, and March 3rd for the artist reception and afterparty.

Here's the adress for Kokoro Gallery:
Kokoro Studio 682 Geary Street
San Francisco, CA 94102
