Review: Contemporary Krampus - A Modern Look at an Ancient Legend Curated by Mike Drake

Contemporary Krampus : A Modern Look at an Ancient Legend Curated by Mike Drake. Mike gathered over 50+ artists to have them create their own Krampus. Mike has been interested in Krampus since 1997 when he came across a Juxtapoz magazine. Contemporary Krampus is 118+ pages on glossy heavy stock paper. This is a Soft Cover Book and measures 8.5" x 11".
 
The text inside can be a bit hard to read since you have to make sure you open the book wide enough to read the text on the inner edges. That's the one complaint. Other than that we enjoyed reading it and looking at all the artwork inside.

DesignerCon 2015 Recap!!!

DesignerCon has come and gone but what an AMAZING show this year! The turnout for DCon this year was insane. We've been attending DCon since it was Vinyl Toy Network/Qeeology. We usually take breaks back to the parking garage to unload etc... and usually there are still spaces but boy were we wrong this year. Instead, we would get stalked by other cars hoping that we would leave which we eventually shattered their parking dreams when we would tell them we weren't leaving. This happened not just on Saturday but on Sunday as well. Walking in certain areas of the exhibit hall felt a bit like SDCC. There were more vendors this year. Every space utilized. The Stage moved to another area outside the exhibit hall.

Dream Big Friends' Yuna Doll on Kickstarter

Dream Big Friends was created by David Horvath (Uglydoll) and Klim Kozinevich (Bigshot Toyworks) and they launched their Kickstarter Campaign for their first Dream Big Friends doll in the series which is Yuna.

"The Dream Big Friends doll line is an imaginative play experience for everyone. Our goal is empowerment and inspiration."

We would have posted this sooner but the campaign launched right when we were headed to Designer Con and of course the Thanksgiving Holidays this past week put a lot of things on hold. If you were at Designer Con, Dream Big Friends had their own booth and showed off Yuna for the first time!
