Watch the coverage of Qee 2 Life at Genuine Artikle.

Reception night took place this past Saturday; enjoy!

No More Heels

For the Qee 2 Life show, artists are invited to submit their work using the 8" Qee Bear as the medium.

Ian of Genuine Artikle was kind enough to have invited me to be a part of the show. Here is my submission to the show.

I did what I do best; cutting and chopping apart the perfectly good Qee Bear. And here is the result.

I wanted to title this piece, Can't Where Heels No More, being that the feet are hideously ginormous.

Off to New York this piece went. Again, the show's reception night is on December 12th. Don't miss it if you're in the area!

Next Saturday @ Genuine Artikle

We Ain't Plastic - YouTube'd

Don't ask; just go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n44dtYgAGVs

A kick ass video of custom Qees from the We Ain't Plastic show; bought to you by none other than Toy2R USA's Kevin Winnik. Hey, there's a dialogue box above Pablo's head...he speaks!

Tomopop did an amazing coverage on the show. Check out the link for a picture of Tomopop's Rio with Kevin and Pablo :)

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.

Episode 2 - Pablo & Francisco

Hope y'all enjoy the second installment...

Special guest: DJ Qbert Music provided by Shape Shifters and Omid

I'd like to thank the musical artists that provided their talents to this video and for my good buddy, Esau for making these videos happen.

Lastly, a special thank you to Raymond and Kevin for giving me this opportunity.

"We Ain't Plastic!" - Toy2R

Toy2R's US division is celebrating its one year anniversary with a Qee exhibit, "We Ain't Plastic!" The exhibit will kick off on October 2 and the show will run for a month. The great folks at Toy2R invited both local and international artists to apply their skills to the signature 8" Qees. Pablo and Francisco will be there; so should you ;)

A while back ago, Kevin of Toy2R USA generously sent over two Qees for me to do for the First Friday Art Walk in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Meet Francisco and Pablo; the latest additions.

They will be on displayed in and around Lincoln (maybe Omaha). I hope the good folks at Toy2R will enjoy these two kids for many years to come.
