The Art Angels: Buff Monster...

I said, "I want" and I got. Well, almost, they're in the mail. After Comic Con, Buff Monster announced that his clear playing cards would be released online at 10AM yesterday. At 10:01, I ordered them. Yes, I am clearly obsessed with playing cards.
Since he created my latest art purchase, Buff Monster is subject number four in my Art Angels series. The computers were completely down at work today. Its not perfect, but this is the result of my last two hours at work.

at designer con...

i've been bugging my sister for her pictures from designer con because i knew she took amazing pictures. now i have them, and i don't know what to post because i want to post them all. thanks for the pictures sharon!alright, so i made it to designer con, after finding out about it on the vinyl pulse blog two days earlier, with my sister and my boyfriend. i was ecstatic the entire time we were in the Pasadena Convention Center surrounded by toys and artists.
we ran into my friend Kevin Tong, who was there with his t-shirt and poster company Mondo. we bought an iphone skin of his isteam phone illustation...one of the main reasons i wanted to go to Dcon was to see the gold edition of Kid Dragon, but that became an after thought when i saw that Loyal Subjects had the original available at their booth. they are completely sold out online, so i bought what the guy said was one of their last 5 pieces!
JapanLA was there with series 3 of Plasticgod's Kitty icons!
we kept losing my sister. she was stalking the artists...
i got sketches from dez einswell of doodle barn, angry woebots, peekaboo monster, and buff monster. a lot of other artists were sitting in booths and wandering around, and i was pretty overwelhmed with it all. i was a very happy girl saturday.
ps. angry woebot's panda king is awesome.
