I Heart Cool Stuff

I miss visiting the wonderful people of MPH. Unfortunately, because I’ve chosen not to work during the summer… I’ve shown loads of self-control so all my money could be spent during SDCC. I are a shameful character. Luckily, MPH is going to be hosting the beloved Julie West for (what I believe is) her first solo show in NYC (??).

Julie West really is a talented artist and an amazing personality. I am forever grateful to her for hooking me up with a custom kaniza during ToyQube’s 3rd year celebration and release party. Well, I have the pleasure of hanging with her again on August 8th when she displays her new paintings, prints, and super sweet customs all based on her sugary theme.

If you’re planning a trip to NYC this summer, I suggest you try to come up that weekend. Julie’s going to make the trip herself from the UK, so it’d be a great time to meet and hang out with her. More details or sneak peeks when they come, woohoo!

BTW, maybe I’ll see Tim there?

Last Friday, I left you with a peak at Brent’s custom Kaws which he created for his Broken Hearts and Stolen Souls show at MPH. Above is a side view of the piece of work. I believe it’s the piece I took the most pictures of, I’m in love with it. I only wish I had $1900 to drop on it, it truly is magnificent. Please hit the jump to continue reading and to see more images of the show. (more…)

A great way to celebrate the end of finals, and yet another semester, is to stop by Brent Nolasco’s upcoming show at My Plastic Heart. The show will be “featuring an extensive line of customs and paintings showcasing his amazing detailed work.”[MPHBWNN]

Though I have  yet to see the pieces, Brent really is both an amazing guy and artist, and I am anticipating his first solo show. The man really deserves this opportunity and I hope that more people recognize his works and style. I will share more information when the date nears.

P.S. VinylPulse has the first peak of one of the pieces.
