So this entry is not really that exciting in that i'm not posting any cool videos or showcasing any new stuff for the film, but i wanted to let any New Yorkers about an awesome art show coming up on Halloween. Here's the flyer:

I also wanted to assure all the loyal readers that i'm definitely working on the film itself and trying my best to update the site and the blog as often as possible so y'all can be kept in the loop. Look out for a new video coming this week featuring one of the many artists featured in the film.

And now your moment (s) of zen....

I just got back from Los Angeles where I had the pleasure of visiting the studio of Gary Baseman, artist and vinyl toy creator. He sat down with me for a bit and was interviewed for the documentary, touching on subjects ranging from toys, art, love, life, etc.
It definetly was a great experience and it's always a treat to hear from someone who has worked in many different fields of art (TV, commercial illustration, fine art, toy creation, etc.) and get their opinion on the vinyl toy phenomenon.
I've posted some photos of the studio and look forward to some possible Baseman videos in the near future.
