Gara-Dunny

I have lots of trubles with Blogger lately, cant post pictures most of the time, finally today it let me do it. I will migrate to Wordpress soon. Anyways!...

Probably you see it around the web but to make it official on the blog heres my  piece for the Garamaniacal show at FOE gallery. Its a 8" dunny as base. to me was a great opportunity to blend together two genres that usually fans dont see as one.  designer toys and Kaiju toys, to me both things art toys.

Most of  the designers toys fans arent aware about the kaiju Scene, so it was a nice chance to introduce them to it and to one of the most loved characters in kaiju world, GARAMON.

SO heres Gara-Dunny!

GARAMANIACAL

Me siento muy honrado de participar en este show que es un tributo a uno de los seres mas queridos y mas chingones jamas creado, GARAMON!

Si ustedes son fans de Ultraman,Godzilla y otros seres del estilo seguramente lo conocen, y si no, pues les aconsejo que vean la serie "Ultra Q" de 1966-67 en especial el episodio #13. por supuesto tambien el homenaje se extiende a Pigmon

El show cuenta con artistas y compañias de primer orden en el mundo del Kaiju, los monstruos, lo fantastico y lo extraño:

Astromonster, Plaseebo, Luke Temby de Cupco, Jeff Lamm, Gargamel,  Luke Rook/Grody Shougun/Lulubell, Hellopike, Isabel Samaras, Paul Kaiju, Mark Nagata, el chingonazo de Jim Groman!, Josh Herbolsheimer, Leecifer, Toybot Studios, Rich  de Mutant Vinyl, Atomic Mushroom y muchos muchos más! 

 EL show es organizado por FOE Gallery y Mike Nordstrom de Garamania sin duda el fan numero uno de Garamon.

February 10-March 4. Opening reception Friday, February 10 6-9pm.

Co-owner Jim Shea teams up with Michael Nordstrom of Garamania to curate GARAMANIACAL, an homage to the clunky, crusty, fish-lipped, oil-belching, high-rise-wrecking meteorite monster Garamon and his “recycled” alter ego, the friendly and excitable Pygmon.  GARAMANIACAL will look at kaiju culture through the lens of these two iconic creatures, presenting information on the characters, the TV shows on which they first appeared, and the visionary artists who created them.  As well, the gallery will be filled with an amazing assortment of contemporary art and toys inspired by Garamon and Pygmon
