"Rear Naked Choke" Patrick Francisco's solo show at Dragatomi 11/14/09
Like the jiu jitsu maneuver, “Rear Naked Choke” is a roguish attack on the senses. Francisco shows the moody simian characters he’s become known for, but adds new explorations that are stylistically rooted in the former. Predominantly muted color schemes give way to a bolder alter ego that at once reveals the odd—even whimsical—dimensions of the sinister. He has created, according to illustrator Jarrod Gecek, “an amazing little world of chimps with a disdain for public decency.”“Rear Naked Choke” features paintings, drawings, resin sculptures, and customized toys. Though spanning themes through different media, all pieces are bound together by the same intense grittiness of a tightly applied rear naked choke. Dragatomi will have a 2nd Saturday Opening and anticipate a great turnout. The show will run from Nov. 14th until Dec. 5th. Opening reception will be on November 14th at 7 p.m. Patrick will also be in attendance for the opening.
ABOUT PATRICK FRANCISCO
Patrick Francisco is known for bold brush work and innovative methods of promoting his art to the public. He has staged scavenger hunts of his custom painted toys in New York City and, with the help of blogger SpankyStokes, in San Diego. Francisco has shown at a number of galleries, including C. Emerson Fine Arts (St. Petersburg, Florida), Agni Gallery (New York City), and 1:AM Gallery (San Francisco). Francisco received his BFA from SUNY FIT in New York City, and can be often found drawing in Spring Studio SoHo.
"Kong" Teddy Troop custom by Okedoki
In the This amazing custom created by Tam aka Okedoki was done for a lucky Kidrobot forum board member. This, just like the rest of her customs, turned out simply amazing, and what a lucky collector to have this in their possession, and just like every amazing customs deserves, here is "Kong's" backstory...
"Year 625, after the great flood, 5 clans remained in the Kingdom of Tian. There has been peace throughout the Kingdom for almost a century, until a feud between Ren of the Human Clan, and Hiro of the Bear Clan ignited over the love of the beautiful Bijin. Jealousy and rage lead Ren and Hiro into battle. Hiro’s strength was no match for Ren’s speed and precision, as Hiro suffered a stab wound to the heart and bled to death. A dark cloud casted over the Kingdom of Tian as it fell into unrest. Sensing the unbalance, all the clans declared war on each other. Whole villages were torched and blackened. Thousands of innocent lives were lost. The Kingdom of Tian was in turmoil, as the darkness continued to reign.

From a dream, Kong woke up sweating with fist clenched. In his dream, the Gods visited and summoned him. They told him, it was his fate to restore peace in the Kingdom of Tian by revenging the death of Hiro. In his dream, the Gods told him he was to wear a helmet in reverence to Hiro. In the clutches of Hiro’s teeth was Ren. On the side of the helmet ‘Revenge’ was scrawled. He was to wear this helmet as he marched into battle.
Kong, undefiant to the God’s wishes, casted a helmet identical to the one in his dream. He put it on, and walked in the direction of the West Wind where the Human Clan lived. His blue eyes darkened from the reflection of the clouds, were focused and ready.
This is Kong’s journey..."

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #72
Stefan is a super talented artist, and a super cool guy to boot! You can now follow all of his updates via his Twitter profile HERE, not on Twitter yet? Get a move on!
From Stefan's Blog:
Now, what about Monster 72? From the looks of it, 72 is a jolly creature---downright bouncy! Who would've seen that coming? Where do you think the creature is off to? Do you think 72 is happy because of where he came from or because of where he's going? Should we try to catch him? Or can he be allowed to roam free? Is he in fact a he? Please help us shine a light on these mysteries!
