USA SIGNING TOUR

05/24/09

The USA tour went amazing! I got to meet so many awesome people, and see old friends. The toys look beyond amazing, and I'm so proud of the new book! Here are some of my fav pics from the trip! I did loose my camera battery at a hotel along the way, so I didnt get to take as many pics as I wanted, but fortunately the Kidrobot staff was on hand to take lots of cool pics for me!

Setting up the sculptures for the installation at the Kidrobot NYC store.

We got unpack a case of the new toys while we were setting up! Weee!

This kid was amazing! He looks just like George!

Lots of awesome toys!

I dont have any pics yet from the Newbury Comics signing, but they sure have a lot of parking signs in Boston. The Newbury kids took me out afterwards for some dancing and we all had lots of fun.

Mr. Wiggles strikes again...

Signing at Rotofugi in Chicago. Such and amazing turnout there! My flight was delayed and I went straight from the airport to the store where all were waiting patiently. Thanks!!

Next day at "The Bean" in Chicago before going to Art Institute to see awesome paintings.

Then I went to Kuma's for a metal burger at the suggestion of my friend Jay Ryan that makes awesome posters. That was a damn fine burger, they have pretzel dough buns. MMMMMM!!!!

Next stop was Diesel Fuel Prints in Portland! This was great because they publish all my posters, and Dark Horse is there, and family and friends. I always have a blast in Portland.

Some of the Dark Horse crew! I love them.

SF Kidrobot

Chillin with Jesse Hernandez. Word.

Draw draw draw!

Sweet new tattoo at the LA Kidrobot.

I got to see some old old friends that came out too. Fieron Santos!!

These kids were super cute. The little boy basically interviewed me for like 10 minutes asking the most intelligent questions. He blew me away! He is a 40 year trapped in the body of a 8 year old.

Then it was off to Miami Kidrobot!

Lots of of rad people.

Another new tattoo, and I signed it at the store. I wonder if he got the signature tattooed?

Then it was time for a couple days of relaxation South Beach style! Man they have some nice water there. Really fun swimming!

Then it was off to Toronto for the Signing at Magic Pony's new art gallery Narwhal! I had a bit of trouble getting across the Canadian border though. For a little blip on my record from 8 years ago! They said I cant go back to Canada until 2014. Damn son!! Well we made the most of it! The Magic Pony people are sooooo rad! And they took me to lots of fun things and good Poutine. Mmmmm.

Narwhal art show and signing.

Mr. Wiggles in Toronto.

BIBULOUSNESS? Only in a Canadian Chinatown.

Then it was home to beautiful NYC for 2 quick days before I headed out to ATP in England... but that's another adventure...
