Midwest Plushform Show

It is gonna be awesome as you can see: www.midwestplushformshow.com

The 1st Annual Midwest Plushform Show will take place from November 7th until November 29th in two locations in Cleveland. The show will be hosted jointly by Shoparooni, located on Waterloo Road on the East Side, and Carol & John's Comics located in Kamms Plaza on the West Side.

The show will open at Shoparooni on Friday, November 7th from 8 pm to 11 pm, and at Carol & John's on Saturday, November 8th from 8 pm to 11 pm. Both shows will close on Saturday, November 29th, from 8 pm to 11 pm.

The Plushform is a blank, do-it-yourself plush figure made of a primed, canvas-like material intended to be customized by any means necessary! Artists can use paint, markers, pens, applique, and pretty much any other material to customize their Plushform, making an a work of art in cute plushie form!

The Plushform Show will be used as a fundraiser for noted charity "Toys For Tots", with 50% of all proceeds from the show being used to purchase toys to donate to Toys For Tots.

The Munny Show @ Shoparooni

Yesterday was the Munny show at Shoparooni. I had yet another birthday party to attend so I could only drop by a little before the actual judging began -- I'm sure the final prize winners will be posted on the Shoparooni website because so many were pouring in that I probably should have taken more photos of. (Wtf, why are all my friends cramping my art farting outings these days? Stop getting old you bastards! Oh who am I kidding, if I wasn't an alcohol enthusiast I'd be agoraphobic at this point in my life and never go out at all.) Anywhoo, here are some photos...

This was my favorite!

Some kids getting in on the contest

Hmmm, kinda reminds me of "Piss Christ"

Rancid!

And holy crap look at that, I was so inspired I got myself a Munny! No not this kind, but you get the idea. No idea what I'll do with him, but stay tuned. And yes, they'll be doing this again in November if you feel inspired too!

Munny Contest

You still have time to submit a custom munny for Shoparooni's Easter contest coming up later this month. I'm tempted, but I'm not really in the mood to bust out my old acrylics just yet. Looks to be a fun shindig though...
