Mark Bode Interview from The Run Up
"The thing that makes a character an icon is, usually, one line. One line can express a character."
-Mark Bode
Son of the legendary cartoonist Vaughn Bode, Mark Bode further channels and expands the "family style" through his own drawings, graffiti-inspired murals, tattoo work, and animations. Combining his father's iconic figures, such as the Cheech Wizard and Cobalt 60, with his own variations and original characters, he creates artwork distinctly inspired by both past and present comic universes. Watch the interview from "The Run Up," available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV, so take a break and take it all in!

The Black and White Affair/ The New Era
Mean while in (art)ificial gallery, The New Era exhibition will open simultaneously with the Pop Shop’s event. The New Era, has been described as the observations and exaggerations of Cleveland’s own, Rick Sans and Sergio Andujar II. The duo states “As we enter a new decade, we feel there is a mix of new and old within the social conscious. The things we grew up with, have come back in full circle, and seem to over saturate the world we live in.” The artwork is the celebration and rebellion of modern pop culture and its history. This show features artwork primarily on vinyl records as well as canvas and other found objects.
These events will take place on February 6th, 2010 from 6-9pm. These events are free and open to the public. An adult after party will be held at Mullen’s on Madison at 9pm for all Pop Shop and (art)ificial guests.
"K11 Companions" from Ferg x Jamungo
Alright, and a happy Monday to everyone... check out what Vinyl Pulse just posted... some really cool new shots of Ferg’s latest addition to the SQUADT family, vinyl prototypes of "K11 companions" from Jamungo. I guess these are Jamungos answer to Kidrobots DIY Munny World figures... they do look cool, I am not to much of a fan of the animal shape though. They will come with removable helmets, and I assume other accessories. These are around 5" tall and are 4" long, pretty bite sized, and I bet customizers are already licking their chops to get ahold of these! Look for these to drop this spring!
