My Symbiote

For the Symbiote Contest being held over at Spanky Stokes, I've submitted photos to Spanky awhile back ago.

Cheese!

Up top shot of his slimy forehead.

Currently, he's being displayed at Terminal22. Go see his smiley face in person!

SpankyStokes vs. Symbiote Studios

More battles ahead! SpankyStokes.com and Symbiote Studio is holding a contest: "Unleash Your Symbiote" on November 1st. Visitors of the art and vinyl toys website will get to vote on their favorite from the top 10 contenders chosen by SpankyStokes. Prizes will be given to the top 3 customs.

For rules, regulations and more details, just go to here.

1st Stop: Shopwars Battle

The theme of the competition surrounds the 8" Qees of Toy2R. Local shops and companies, ranging from tattoo shops to toy stores like Kidrobot of SF, customized their Qee of choice for the competition.

Voters choose their favorites and cast their votes. All of the toys are for sale and 50% of the proceeds are donated to Project Open Hand. Project Open Hand is a San Francisco-based nonprofit that provides meals to people with AIDS and seniors.

Gotta love that hairdo.

Packaged "Qeef" teehee...

Yup, some where underneath all this was a 8" Qee.

All of the artwork are being displayed at 1AM until October 10th. Most toys are $100; it's for a great cause and just plain o' good investment for you art collectors out there ;)

Lief of Delicious Drips brought out a 16" Qee Cat for all the artists and attendees to doodle on during the show. Feeling inspired, everyone grabbed a paintbrush and doodled away. I couldn't stay til the end to see the "mural" Qee Cat. Hopefully, Lief will have updates on this one...

I want to give a big thank you to Lief for putting the show together and Dan at 1AM for being such a great host.

Lt. Lajos

Lieutenant Lajos is a do-er, not a whiner.

When General Gannon gives an order, Lajos will get the job done.

Like entering the DIY Shopwars Competition at 1AM Gallery on Sept. 25, 2009.

Lajos - prepare to battle.

***UPDATE: 10/09/09*** Yay! Lajos got 3rd place!!! "That'll do, pig, that'll do."

Munny Grubbers: Part 1

Just Blazed PHX, an art supplies store serving urban street art's creativity in Phoenix, AZ, hosted the Munny Grubbers Show on August 8, 2009. Art, clothing, hip hop all under one roof. The quality of Munnys being displayed from around the world is impressive to say the least.

See if you can recognize any of your favorite artists on here...

More toys may be uploaded later on tonight, please stay tuned.

The hospitality and warm welcomes from the guys over at Just Blazed PHX was unreal. It was a pleasure meeting them and NervisWr3k in Phoenix - I had an awesome time.

*Thought this was funny...hee hee
