Comicon '09 at Jacob Javits Center

I started the trail with my 2 commrades in media, Oliver Quillia (of FC, CNBC & http://formdigital.com/) & Brett Zaccardi (of (www.streetattack.com) perusing from live characters to unreleased toys, comicon was brimming with freshness. The designer toys section was packed with funky fresh new customs.

We even checked out an illustrator from Norway, who had brought his incredible talents across the seas as original small scale works on illustration board! he works as a freelance for world of warcraft or one of those D&D oriented gaming companies & they flew him out, wasn't that nice of them!, pure fantasy fodder for the masses!

Lastly caught some classic Jack Kirby posters ( Jack Kirby), his style still to this day is soo much more innovative then most of the stuff you see out there these days.

From Sydney to Brooklyn

Soh Nup Industries had some special guests Rock the Roof of the 23 Windows Studio in Bushwick, BK. Graffiti Heavyweight “Mystery” of Sydney Australia is on a global mission to get closer to his roots in the Holy Land! What better way then to create some positive messages for the youth in good old Bushwick. Joining Spazecraft and the “Mystery Man” was Brooklyn (via Conn.) All Star Hip Hoppa “Yako 440” of open thought productions (www.openthoughtmusic.com). Yako hooked up the softiestyle as he had a rehearsal for the debut of mixed movement @ St. Marks Church. Spazecrafte rocked a freestyle abstract with scrap color fills and also started fill-ins on a “Donate Life” piece. At Spazecrafte's suggestion, Mystery rocked this beautiful “hope” piece in a classic block style with female character for the upcoming "Hip-Hop(e)! video shorts coming up this spring. Spazecraft and Mystery are brainstorming an international cross cultural youth health awareness / Hip Hop Media campaign. lastly, Xaphryn follicle joins us as the sun goes down over BK, to check Mr.E before he continues on his spiritual quest. check out an interview with the man himself here>> (Mystery/TFC).
