Lou Pimentel sent over some info, and a better picture of his upcoming SDCC 09 release. Lou says that the idea behind these custom "Brooklyn Headz" came to him while he was working on his Kokeshi figure for the show at the Japanese American National Museum. He says that he really enjoyed working on the head, and thought it looked cool on its own, so he wanted to create a series of just crazy funky faces. Each one of these is hand painted with oil, and the platform is a 2" diameter wooden ball, also each custom will have a hand drawn sticker on the front of its box. These are going to sell for $40 each at the Toyqube booth #4839. Lou will also have some stickers of his upcoming figure Cranston Fellows Jr. which will be $1 a piece!

"There’s always that theme of conflict, of man versus nature, and usually nature seems to win."
-Jeff Soto
Jeff Soto’s intricate paintings are built of robotic figures and sprawling, organic landscapes. As a prominent member of the Lowbrow (or Pop Surrealism) art movement, the influence of graffiti, pop culture, and comics is quickly apparent. Yet nature always remains the crux of his work, as he’s interested in the ways we are affecting our environment. Jeff Soto’s work has appeared as commissioned illustrations and in galleries throughout the United States and Europe. Watch the interview from “The Run Up,” available for the first time to the public on Walrus TV.

This is a great video interview with Aaron Martin aka Angry Woebots that was done through Kaimedia, and really captures the true vision of art that Woe is all about. There are some great clips of Woe customzing a gaggle of figures and the video itself is edited beautifully, with a smooth soundtrack. Check this out, you won't regret it!
