Tomorrow, they’ll launch what will probably become a weekly Tuesday night ritual Game Night. With Game Night they hope to create a gaming environment that includes socializing, booze and [...]

I had the fortune of stumbling upon Tiny Kitten Teeth at WonderCon last weekend while wandering the small press aisles (one of my favorite parts of the con). I halted in my tracks because their wares were so cute, and then realized that I had seen that “Tigerbuttah Silverbook” somewhere before. Turns out that Tiny [...]

Just a reminder, if you’re in the Sacramento area (or can get there by tonight), Dragatomi’s opening their 5 Eyed Dragon Show tonight starting at 7pm. The previews look amazing, and if you were at WonderCon you got an extra sneek peak. DrilOne’s custom has amazing detail – just look at that rust! – as [...]

At this year’s Toy Street I got to see some of CubeeCraft‘s work in person. I suck because I didn’t actually talk to the owners of the company, but it was a pleasure to see their work, both on a smaller scale and larger scale. Go on to the second page to see the pics. [...]

One of the best parts of Toy Street was getting a sneak peek of The Art Hustle’s Artist Trading Cards. Simeon Lipman is the man with the brilliant idea to merge old-school collecting, with a new-school edge. The concept is simple– trading cards that not only feature some of our favorite artists, but their art [...]

As I mentioned in my overview post, meeting Toofly at Toy Street was one of my personal highlights. I’ve heard kaNO! mention he countless times and he always speaks so highly of her, that I’d been anticipating running into her for a while now. It was a delightful surprise to not only finally meet her, [...]

You may or not may be familiar with GoodWood NYC, the first time I was introduced to their work was when they produced kaNO!’s MoneyGrip Medallion last year. When I read they’d be producing Toy Street’s pins– I was actually very excited to have this pin in my possession. Its a great way to not [...]

I realize I haven’t posted about the upcoming Sketchbot Custom Show taking place this Friday, but one look at the countdown located on Sketchbot.tv‘s site made me nervous that time was running out to remind people about making sure they got their butt’s down to MyPlasticHeart to see the pieces in person. I’d been holding [...]

March brings many joys with it. Its the beginning of March Madness (basketball season), St. Patrick’s Day and in NYC, the glimmer of spring begins to show it’s face. March, is also known for hosting SXSW. If you’ve got no clue what this event is all about– think of it as a centripetal force that [...]

Have you ever walked by a building in the city and thought, wow, I wonder what that’s like inside? Well, the Hotel des Arts in San Francisco is one of those buildings. And last Thursday I got the chance to explore four floors of it with its opening of the “Video Game Art Show” and [...]

Last week, I shared I’d be attending New York-Tokyo and Frank’s Chop Shop party in honor of Shin Tanaka. The art of paper toys (not origami– although I also appreciate that form of art too) have been a quiet hobby of mine for a while now– and it’s always intrigued me how artists come up [...]

Shin Tanaka, known as the “paper maestro” on the internets will be in town for a couple of days and what better way to celebrate the New York invasion than with a party?! Paper toys is [...]

The show featured 15 customized Cranston Fellows Jr., created by Lou Pimentel. We were personally excited for this show, because we’ve witnessed the journey of Cranston’s creation. [...]

Lookie here! While we’re on the subject of shows… I’ve just realized that myplasticheart has posted the flyer for their upcoming New Moon: Interpretations of the Chinese Zodiac show. First, congratulations to John again (I assume he curated this show too, since he curated last year’s New Moon show). Second, wow! Do you see the [...]

Wow, Dragatomi is really working hard this year (not that they haven’t been already– but you get where I’m going). They just held their Art for Wishes opening, and have just announced their upcoming show with kawaii extraordinaire NReazon! I’ve been aware of nreazon’s works for a while, I have a radar for cute, but [...]
