This event is kicking off Friday, October 3, and is from 6pm-8pm...and get their early because it's going to be nuts!!!!!! There are only 100 available for this pre-release, these are going to go fast!

MEGA MUNNY - TAN-KI
KIDROBOT'S FAMILY JEWLS
So this is something fairly new to the Kid Robot brand...jewelry! I have seen alot of people making their own mini-munny earrings, or full sized Dunny gold chain necklaces, you also have Fully Visual making metal castings from toy artists ideas(not really wearable), but now Kid Robot is jumping in full steam ahead with a whole line of Tarina Tarantino necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings adorned with charms! Check them out!
Why is this so funny?
I in no way advocate middle aged men to act like 4 year olds, but this is a great example of what it would be like if I did. The Aerospider is a pretty cool toy too, but c'mon, this guy could sell you anything with a tantrum like that.

About Nathan Fox:
After graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1997, Nathan pursued Illustration from Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the next two years with little result.

His work has appeared in The New York Times Newspaper and Magazine, Interview, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Wired, ESPN Magazine, Print, Entertainment Weekly, Mother Jones, Spin, Mad Magazine, MTV Store Windows and Tshirts, Instant Winner and REAL Skateboards, DC Comics, Vertigo, Dark Horse Comics and many other publications and mediums.
Becoming a father in 2004 and the need for home ownership led Nathan first, back to Milwaukee, WI for a bit and then in 2006, he relocated back to Kansas City, MO where he currently resides with his wife Jennifer and their daughter Maille Rose. Future projects include pursuing Comics, Narrative Illustration and Gallery Work. For further information, updates and samples of Nathan's illustration work, Comics, Murals, Skate Decks and more!
