NYCC 2011: Art Whino
So if you hit up the Cultyard this year you would have seen the most happening corner for all 4 days during the convention... the Art Whino booth! This was seriously the most happening spot where Shane and his lovely wife put together an insane group of artists to attend the convention, which included: Angry Woebots, Jim Mahfood, J*RYU, Kano, Lamour Supreme, Lou Pimentel, Jeremiah Ketner, Pixel Pancho, Marka 27, and Skinner... to not only do live painting for all 4 days, but there were signings, print releases, custom toys, and just an all around excellent vibe that helped breath life into the Cultyard. It was so awesome to just walk by there sporadically throughout each day to see what progress had been made on the pieces... and there was always such a huge crowd of onlookers watching the live painting. Artist Jryu even did some live sculpting on the spot with some 3" Dunny's and then proceeded to hide each one in the convention hall - available to anyone who found them! I took a ton of photos, so hit the jump to see them all... and I hope to see Art Whino at other conventions in the near future!
