This booth was seriously amazing, to put it lightly, and it might have a been a little overkill but that is what
Mindstyle is all about the flashiness of not only their products and even th0ier boxes, but now their display! It actually fit the theme they were going for because it seems like Mindstyle's main focus this year was on their custom Stitch show, which by the way has it's last leg of the world wide tour in Hawaii, this display showed it's tropical side... REAL plants and all, no joke!
The list of participating artists include:Buff Monster, Secret Base, Tenga, Suiko, Cameron Tiede, Joe Simko, David Cooper, Pocket Full of Monsters, Anthony Clarkson, Camilla d'Errico, Scribe, Triclops, Reactor 88, Motorbot, Brent Nolasco, Chris Ryniak, Cris Rose, DEVILROBOTS, Mad Barbarians, Touma, Colorblok, Matias Vigliano of Doma, PeekABoo Monster, Hans Bacher, Christian Tamondong, Egg Fiasco, Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters, Weewilldoodle, Mori Chack, CJ Metzger, Ron English, Miss Mindy and Mizna Wada.

Hey everyone, check out this shirt by mad 4 the Kansas City music event called pitch! I picked up one for myself and one for Spanky!
Heres what MAD had to say about it:
Earlier this year I was asked by The PITCH (a local weekly newspaper here in KC) to create artwork for their upcoming music showcase. The showcase is a super big show here in town and is basically the best of the best in local talent…. So of course I agreed!!! I create a new round of Bentworld characters called the Bentworld Beats and they loved the concept. We worked together to come up with a nice list of characters that they could use to in various formats to help with promotion. Fast forward to today and the show is right around the corner, so the hype machine is churning out some goodies to help promote the show. Just announced a few days ago is the official show tee, and its available now…

I got this awesome info from Sakiwaki from "
I Heart Cool Stuff" about a designer toy figure based off the game "Uncharted", this toy is being created by Erick Scarecrow, no word on release date or on price yet, but below is what the
Playstation blog had to say!
For the collectors out there, Playstation has entered a partnership with
ESC-Toys to create
Nathan Drake vinyl toys. The man behind the design is Esc-Toy’s founder/designer Erick Scarecrow. Erick is well known in the industry for creating some of the most sought after customs, vinyl and plush collectibles out there. He is also well known for the work he has done for recording artists, including the late and great Jam Master Jay of RUN DMC, Bad Boy Entertainment, Def Jam, and others. I have included a few images of the vinyls below. They will be limited to 2500 pieces world wide, so start stalking your local vinyl stores!

Upper Playground, The Loyal Subjects and
Sam Flores have teamed up to produce
Kid Dragon a unique 3-piece vinyl figure. The main colorway (posted
HERE) went up for pre-sale a month ago and sold out in just a few days. Now, Upper Playground presents an exclusive purple tonal color way.
Unlike most other vinyl figures, the Kid Dragon is made up of 3 pieces creating the illusion of the dragon floating through the clouds. Manufactured by The Loyal Subjects,
the 10” tall figure has vibrant gradient blends and comes housed in a double-sided window box with a scenic insert card. Jonathan Cathey, founder of The Loyal Subjects states, Honestly, working in this industry for almost 10 years now as a designer, creator and MFG, the Kid Dragon has to be one of the more innovative, captivating, alluring and eloquent designs that I have come across in the world of collectibles and artist series collectibles. Truly a remarkable concept and design by Sam Flores. This will definitely be a classic.
Limited to 200 units, and selling
for $125, the Kid Dragon Upper Playground color way is slated to release in late September but is
available for presale beginning Wednesday, July 22nd, on the Upper Playground
web store.
