Sket-One @ MPH, originally uploaded by saki-waki.

Oh snaps!!! Friday August 24th, 2007 was Sket-One’s Release Party over at My Plastic Heart, and it was awesome. Last week was my first toy show ever, refer to Toy Qube post, and this weeks show was even better. What was better?

Well, last week I had to travel a long and annoying trip to make it to Toy Qube; this week I only had to walk (cab) a couple of blocks to My Plastic Heart. It just so happens that the people responsible for providing my with my vinyl goods are right in my area. This is both bad and good, but I survive.

Anyway, I’m digressing; the other good thing about Sket’s release party is that I felt a lot more confident. What do I mean by this? I am one of those people who can instantly fall in love with a band/musician/artist and not know how they look or who they are. I also have a very bad memory, so that doesn’t help me at all. At last weeks release party, since it was my first one; I didn’t recognize half of the artists that were there. How embarrassing! Thanks to one of the Mr.’s co-worker’s girlfriend, she pointed out a good percentage of the people who were there. This, sadly enough, included Huck Gee, whose “Hello My Name is…” dunny is at the top of my favs list.

Also, Vincent and Vicky (I might have the spelling wrong); owners of My Plastic Heart; are super cool. Vincent introduced me to the artists and helped hook me up with some sketches. Oh snaps!! They are awesome people, and they have no idea how much I appreciate the help and the vinyls they provide me. heehee… *tear*

Sket was also pretty awesome. It turns out, I had also seen him at Toy Qube. o_O How horrible of me to not know it was him. He did a drawing for me, even though he’d burned his hand. When I asked what happened, he responded, “it happens.” [LOL] So cool. I could just be very “star struck” by all these artists. Funny enough, I don’t react this way with any Hollywood actors, at least not since I was 10 yrs old and met an actor from New York Undercover.

The show was awesome, I think I am going to purchase one of Sket’s Mixed Media prints… check out the rest of his prints over at MPH; they’ll be up for about a month. Hit the jump for more shots from the show.
