San Diego Comic Con

Just back from Comic Con. Busy and crazy as usual, but being able to hang out with friends made it all worth it. Here's a little of what I scored. More pics to come.

Kappa Ten

Kappa Ten is happening again this summer. This is a group show featuring kappa inspired work by a variety of artists. I will have a few custom Tokoji Seijin figures on dispay, as well as some photographs of Tokoji in his natural environment. Show runs from July 22 to August 3, at Artist Garden Gallery & Cafe in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Click the postcard above for a closer look at the map.

Limited Edition Tokoji Seijin

Cometdebris will be joining Gargamel and Grass Hut at Comic Con (booth number 4739), with some custom figures and a limited edition Tokoji Seijin release. This exclusive Tokoji is cast in creamy yellow vinyl, sprayed with green and blue metallics, and features a splattered shell and angry eyes. Limited edition of 5, available Preview Night at Comic Con. For those who can't make it to Comic Con, watch the website for a few customs to be added to the online store soon afterwards.

Rabbits out of the cages!

Summer Is Yokai Season

Pool Shots

Got a new waterproof camera recently, and finally got to test it out in Las Vegas last week.

Izu Peninsula

Just got back from a few days in the Izu Peninsula. Izu is famous for its hot springs, and features mountains, and both rocky and sandy beaches. We intended to find fireflies but didn't have much luck, we only saw one. Instead, we saw lots of stray cats, insects, and a cute swan family.

Slider Volume 1

Just received Slider magazine from Amazon Japan today and man was I disappointed with this dumb-ass cover. Slider is a new skateboard culture magazine or "mook" as they say in Japan. For those familiar with 80s skateboarding you might be able to recognize the Bones Ripper graphic in the background there. Amazon actually listed the magazine with the Bones Ripper on the cover, so I was getting pretty stoked. I guess the publisher made a last minute change and decided to go with the singer of the goofy boy band Tokio. Anyway, huge FAIL in my opinion. On to the contents. There's a rad article on the original Bones Brigade and Powell Peralta including current photos and interviews with all members, awesome section on 80s skateboards, stickers, clothes, fashion, etc. Definitely worth getting if you don't mind looking at the SUCKY cover every time you read it.
