I think I’ve displayed and expressed my massive fangirl-ism for Stella Im Hultberg‘s works since I was introduced to her work. For over a year now, I’ve made it public knowledge that I plan on getting her collaboration with Audrey Kawasaki tattooed on me (I’ve held out because that piece will set off the beginning [...]

Just two months shy after her solo show at Dragatomi, NReason is ready for her second solo show of 2010. Boom!, featuring works of her grenade character taking over the world, will open tomorrow evening at We Are 1976 in Dallas, Texas. I’ve never been to Dallas (only H-Town), but if you happen to be [...]

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 [...]

I want to start the post by sharing a story about my wordpress app. I pretty much downloaded the app as soon as it was published. The idea of blogging on the go was too good to pass up, so I had to have it. The app itself was buggy and therefore I neglected it [...]

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 [...]

Thanks to Grain Edit (a great design and illustration blog), I discovered Hey Studio and their Calendar they produced in December, which featured a new character for every day of the month. The site is in Spanish, but if you can’t read it, the images are pretty easy to understand or Google Translate does a [...]

It’s official, my titles keep getting longer and longer– so from now on– I’ll refer to this series as: “MtVD Gift Guide.” In this series of gift recommendations, we focus on the moustache aficionado. I myself am a fan of moustaches, I can’t help but like that fuzz on a man’s face– it’s not the same on [...]

Scene: New Moon 2010 from IHCS on Vimeo. Last week Friday, was the 2nd annual New Moon show at MyPlasticHeart.

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 [...]

Artist Series: kaNO from IHCS on Vimeo. It’s been ages since we’ve been able to deliver an Artist Series, but thanks to kaNO for granting us some time– here we are. Our interview with kaNO was the first that happened on the move. We started out in Dumbo, Brooklyn– one of my favorite areas in [...]

Can I just hit the replay button and say it again: this weekend is mad with show openings! On Saturday, Dark Pop 2.0, at Last Rites Gallery will be opening. The 2.0 suggests that maybe they’ve curated this show in the past– something that I missed if they did. In any case– the theme of [...]

Two weeks ago; Sket-One, Mad, Pon and Mr. Shane Jessup held their opening for the Paying Dues show at the Eloquent Delinquents Gallery in downtown New York. I wasn’t able to make the show, as that weekend commenced the work drunkeness. I don’t usually drink, but with the news of my layoff, people thought it [...]

Last Friday, Scott Campbell and Leontine Greenberg had their opening show at MyPlasticHeart. The show, which I knew would be nothing less than amazing, was lively and packed the entire night. The crowd was larger and different from any crowd I’ve ever experienced at MPH– I was truly impressed with ALL of the works, the [...]

If you took 10 minutes out of your day to watch my latest vlog (video blog spelled the lazy way), then you know that this weekend, we stopped by the opening night of Kidrobot’s Munnyworld exhibition. Before I keep going, I want to thank the Mr. for putting together video in the fastest turn-around pace [...]
