Basically these guys got what was comin’ to them. Karma is a bitch….. 
Check out the 1973 design for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission. This is on some Da Vinci Code shit -or just a super bad design considering….
So a friend of mine with th keys to the city was able to get me in to the sneak peak at the MOCA- ART IN THE STREETS show opening this Saturday. It was pretty amazing visually and also to see so many legendary artists in one location was super rad. Definitely not one to be missed. Thank you Eklips for lookin’ out!
The homie Steven Daily was kind enough to invite me to participate in the Gag Me With A Toon artshow 3 which is opening Feb.4th at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. Come check out some rad paintings of some of your favorite childhood cartoon characters.
Went down to see my friend Joey who has a factory that makes all sorts of shit. Soon to be all sorts of ill shit.
I wanted to share some of the comments I came across on the Disneyland facebook page. The comments went both ways but I’ll just share a few of my favorites.
“we see enough angry people every day. sure, animated characters have emotions too, but cant we at least pretend they are always happy?”
“Sorry to say but this looks like a ripoff of deadmau5″
(I had to google deadmau5….um, I guess I can see what he’s saying, but not really….)
” he looks MEAN or DERANGED”
“unlike, unlike, unlike. How about we keep Mickey non-attitude. I don’t idlize anger, no one should.”
“Mickey looks angry. I’m not a fan.”
“Seriously! Waaaaay dislike!”
Just got a box from New Era with the last cap in the line I designed for Disneyland, The Double 5 Collection. The base material is duck canvas so it has a rugged feel and as usual New Era’s embroidery is on point. It also has a satin lining with a print of one of the paintings I did for the collection. This along with the previous 3 caps will be available on February 5th at Disneyland and Disneyworld.
I call this the “How You Like Me Now?” collection. Here are some shots of the signature line I created exclusively for Disneyland and Disneyworld. I created 4 paintings for the collection inwhich I designed men’s tees, women’s top’s and New Era caps. Come down on the 5th for the launch and signing.
My wife and I went out to Hong Kong where I was setting up the Mindstyle pop up shop at the Miramar Shopping Centre. Here are some of the sights from the trip. More to come…..
Here is a first glimpse of the release of the Disney X New Era X Les Schettkoe fitteds being released very soon as part of The Double 5 Collection. Exclusively at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Theme Parks. More to come.
I’m in Hong Kong right now getting the MINDstyle pop up shop ready, but I had to check out the Michael Lau “Crazy X’mas” installation he did at the Times Square Shopping Center. The wooden figures were pretty insane, not to mention the standard Lau figures on display. There were some celeb’s in attendance, but I don’t have a clue as to who they were.
So here are some shots of this multimillion dollar installation, enjoy.
I just finished this flip on 2 well known characters in and around Southern California. I am making 50 16″x20″ hand pulled silkscreen prints which will be available soon.
Coming this November Mindstyle toys is opening a pop up shop in Hong Kong. I was asked to design the environment within the pop up shop for a 15′ Mickey they are making. Here are a couple shots of them sculpting the Mickey figure.(I need to figure out a way to get the head shipped back to me.) I’ll be in Hong Kong painting with a certain artist to finish up the environment. More to come.
The Team Pacquiao store opened last weekend. They released the Mad Mickey and Manny toys as well as t-shirts. I’m just trying to figure out how to get one of those 4′ Mickeys.
Remember the Tomy figure from ’82?
Here is the set released. They sold for $250 each, or together for $500 with matching numbered certificates and a gift bag. Limited to 100 units at SDCC. 300 worldwide.
My wife and I went down to Sand Diego Comic Con this year to check out the Mindstyle booth as they were releasing limited quantities of the “Mad Mickey” and Manny Pacquiao toys. It was my first chance to see and touch them and I was very pleased how well constructed they are. I also got a chance to finally see the U.S. colorway shown below with the khaki shorts.-OG Mickey Loc steezy! A big thanks to MD for the passes and Eric at Spin Master for the Tron figure!
More to come.
My brother sent me this little gem from Sarah “you betcha” Palin speaking on Faux News.
Apparently all we need to stop the oil leak are Dutch dykes and damns.
Hey Bill, please have her on your show more often. This kind of wisdom is priceless.
This dog is an official Miscreant! His real name is Kanellos and, according to published accounts, he’s acquired quite a taste for civil unrest, having made an appearance at virtually every major Greek protest and riot over the last two years. This is the raddest dog ever!!!!
Here in Los Angeles we have to deal with many annoying things living here. One thing of those things is the LAPD. They wonder why most of LA treats them with contempt. This is why.
New piece……
Here are some updated shots of the Mad Mickey x Manny Pacquiao project being done by MINDstyle Toys. The first release is This July in the Philippines. The U.S. release will feature the original khaki shorts.
Back when I was working fulltime at Disney I came up with this “Mad Mickey” for a project I worked on. The toy team at Disney and Mindstyle Toys teamed up with Manny Pacquiao with this pretty awesome vinyl toy collaboration. It should be dropping some time this summer.
Here is the original illustration and the early sculpts of both the Mickey and the Manny vinyls.
