20" ninja spiki munny from Nakanari @ Dcon

WoooHooo, for all of those attending Designer Con you will be able to see this beast in person at the Dragatomi booth #52. Nakanari did an amazing job on this figure and he actually had a little help building all the ninja accessories which were designed by his good friend, and equally as talented of an artist, Dave"outtamymindcreations"Quiles! This is one of those things that seeing it in person will really lend to the pure greatness of the piece.

"Suckadelic & Cupco: New Works!" at Metropolis Gallery, December 4th through 31st

Debuting December 4th and running through the 31st, Metropolis Gallery is proud to be showcasing two of the most insanely notorious Pop Culture satirists on the globe. Both Suckadelic (aka The Sucklord) and Cupco have combined fine art, crafts, designer vinyl and even performance art to lampoon everything from Star Wars to Michael Jackson. Their attack on the nerd world of classic comics, D&D role playing games and Japanese sci-fi marries Mad Magazine's irreverent parodies with Warhol's "commerce-as-fine art" confrontations. Though both artists live on either side of the planet and work in different mediums, they arrive at the same place: Pop Art for the new millennium.
