It was 364 days ago that I first wrote in this blog of mine and posted the 2007 Comic Con Trailer, which later got featured on Youtube's front page (don't ask me how- to this day it's a mystery). But as i pack my bags and get ready to go to San Diego, I look back at what an awesome year it's been for the film, and although it's coming along slower than i had originally hoped, I'm pretty sure the extra care and loving that i'm giving the film will be reflected. So In the meantime, be patient with me if you can, enjoy the tasty nuggets of information as i release them and be sure to say hi if you're at Comic Con! I'll be carrying some Vinyl Frontier postcards for everybody to enjoy. Keep an eye out for a new website coming soon as well as a new extended trailer featuring never before seen footage.

Oh before I forget, a while back I had the distinct pleasure to chat with Paola Antonelli, Design and Architecture Curator for the MOMA here in NY. She basically oversaw the acquisition of several Kidrobot toys into the permanent collection, so i wanted to talk to her and see what she thinks about the movement and more importantly whether she thinks vinyl is art for the masses or just a toy.

Ok off to San Diego!!!

The final day of comic con was really chilled out and i managed to get the last of the interviews done which was really awesome. With a little time to spare, I managed to do some actual shopping and picked up a DIY Qee and a brown Steven The Bat by Bwana Spoons, which i've been dying to get for some time.

Sorry for the short entry, I'm pooped.

New Website Layout: I put some minor changes on the website and added a photos section. More stuff on the site coming soon...

Day two of Comic Con was no less insane for me than day one, but it was certainly much more crowded. I did manage to squeeze in some more interviews with these guys:


Derek Welch (UNKL)

Thomas Han

Huck Gee



Luke Chueh

I feel really great having gone to San Diego Comic Con and finally met the artist whose work I have been admiring for some time. They were all awesome to interview and each provided a different perspective on vinyl toys and the scene in general. I'm really stoked to see how the footage came out and start editing comic con stuff.
