    A few months ago I was invited to customize one of Paul Cruikshank’s Circus Punks.  Hmmm… Hand painting (??!!) It had been a while since I had tackled anything without a “Ctrl Z” option…. 
     
    There are hundreds of custom designs in the Circus Punks Rule NYC Show and it is an honor to be included and listed amongst uber-talented upper-echelon artists & designers. (I am not worthy!) 
     
    All the Punks are now available online at ToyTokyo.com, and mine is available for purchase HERE.
     
     
    Thorsten Hasenkamm has just sent us previews of his upcoming Pro-wrestling themed solo show… Very cool! Hope it’s in L.A….

    You may recall the very cool Hombre Kabuki mask by Juan Guerrerro. Cary Becker’s movie trailer for Hombre Kabuki is now online. (Note: Non-wrestling adult content)
     
    October 28th, 6pm: Author/Photographer Lourdes Groubet is doing a signing of her book - Lucha Libre, Masked Superstars of Mexican Wrestling at La Luz here in Los Feliz!
     
    Currently watching: Uproar In Heaven DVD (aka Havoc In Heaven). The designs are stunning and the character & effects animation are choreographed to a Chinese Opera soundtrack (this music can drive one crazy after an hour) This is a culturally-unique masterpiece! Pity there are no English subtitles….
