Old Friends…

Mead came in from Palm Spring last night. He was a partner in a couple of seminal art shows as a sonic creator and actor for May Day ’79 and “Fear of Failure.” An excerpt can be seen on YouTube, called Heat Seekers.

The mask on the left? A Zelda character. On the right: Marat Mychaels, creator and artist for Demon Slayer, a trade paperback (graphic novel) published by Arcana.

The doors have been opened above Odin’s throne, revealing a suit of armor.

The Arcana (and Zedura) booth babes are ready to work…

LL Cool J told us he would not be signing autographs, but that we could take photos. Thanks LL!

Paul Kaiju on the left, while a military babe demonstrates coffee handling technique. Paul is now a full-time vinyl kaiju designer. He was previously working at a petroleum company diagramming pipe locations for safety but was cut back. Safety has not been an issue when it comes to cutting expenses and we can see how that works out with the BP oil disaster in the Gulf.

Paul is working out of the Crossover booth, which like the name implies, has kaiju mashups with artists designing heads for each other’s monsters.

Paul’s head on another’s body.

At the DKE booth both holding figures that they have made. One is on his iPhone, the other for a French artist.

Dragatomi was selling customized toys of all kinds: large scale Dunnies, et al and even…

On the left, a custom Blythe by Brigette Couvert ($950) and on the right, the creator of Buff Monster.

Jun Planning had a booth full of Pullips but empty of people. When I took this photo, the man at the counter ducked behind a wall of dolls (you can only see his arm). That seemed like a guilty reaction to me.

Malese Jow, actress in the Vampire Diaries TV show is attached to the Arcana film property, Koni Waves.

Outside the convention center, pirate music was playing.

On the way to the Gaslamp area, a butt jumped into my line of sight.

This butt followed up.

When I went by this Zombie, she was relatively harmless, just snarled and swayed a bit, but later in the day, she started attacking people.

Across the tracks, a SyFy balloon, train, and the convention center.

Offsite shooting.

The legendary Flynn’s Arcade, hawking the 2nd coming of Tron.


The interior of the arcade and the vintage game and pinball machines.

Cool steampunk weapons.

Right next door to Flynn’s, a real video arcade with photo-technology that puts you right in the game!

White Bat.

With Queen and Rabbit.
