"Munky Bidness" after party with live painting• San Diego Comic Con 2009

Munky King threw an amazing party on Thursday night at with all kinds of stimulus for your eyes. This event went down at Bar Basic in San Diego and was filled with amazing artist, good eats, and strong drinks. Not only was there good conversation to be had , but we were all treated to a live painting demonstration by many amazing artists. Carlos Ramos, Attaboy and Chris Ryniak really amazed as they took a blank piece of wood and transformed it into a piece of art right before our eyes, and while they were going to town Jim Mahfood and Buff Monster painted on female models on the other side of the bar, it was a sight to see, and it was a ton of fun. Enjoy the pictures and the above video!

Vannen Art Watches blends urban art and fashion

It is really cool what you see and who you bump into at SDCC, the night of the "Munky Bidness" party I had the pleasure to meet David Stowe of Vannen Art Watches. This awesome idea of blending fashion with urban art in the form of watches is new to the scene and David already has some great artists lined up for series 1 which is featuring Brian Morris, Buff Monster, Chris Ryniak and Damon Soule. Series 1 is scheduled to hit the virtual shelves mid-August exclusively on vannenwatches.com. Each watch retails for $65 and is limited to only 500 pieces. Visit vannenwatches.com for more info and to sign up for their mailing list to get advance notice on release dates, special offers, and the opportunity to win free watches.

Seeing these watches in person was really amazing, and I am sure that all will be impressed! The packaging is equally as rad and really showcases each artists talents in an awesome produced full color with some spot gloss here and there. David has all kinds of artists lined up and series 2 is going to be just as amazing, but we will just have to wait patiently for that!
