Paul Kaiju X Super7 new vinyl figure "Partyball"


Toy painting legend Paul Kaiju is joining the Super7 Monster Family with his first ever vinyl figure, Partyball! At long last, the customizer who inspired and influenced so many has his own creation to paint. Partyball will debut at the Super7 Halloween Party at Thrashout in Tokyo, October 31st. I am super excited for Paul and to have his own figure is long overdue for someone as humble and as talented as he is! Congrats man!

Mark Bodnar "And We All Go"


Mark Bodnar's work springs forth from the long tradition of cartooning, but he succeeds in making it feel contemporary, rather than treating it as a static object of fetish. His paintings exhibit all of the clarity and directness of the great illustrators of the past and his technique is marked by simplicity, contrast and balance. But his greatest strength lies in the meaning behind the images. Bodnar's work feels more like illustrations to stories that have yet to be written. Creating windows into wonderful worlds is magic of the first order. Mark Bodnar is a master of that particular brand of alchemy.
Stephen Worth – Director, ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive

Mark Bodnar grew up by the shores of the Great Lake Erie in Ohio. He moved to a haunted quarter of the state capitol and earned a BFA from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 2001. Since then, his artwork has been seen in gallery shows from New York to Los Angeles as well as various publications including The New York Times and National Geographic Adventure. Bodnar created cartoons for Cartoon Network and currently lives and paints in Los Angeles.

November 6 – November 29, 2009
