I am sure you have all heard the rumors and some of them are even TRUE!
Pop Soda & Fig-Lab are proud to announce The Many Many Many Mey Custom Dynamite Custom Show. Its coming up fast and its going to be a doozy!
Many Mey (Mey or Me is Japanese for eye) is one of the characters from the Pop Soda pantheon and the arch-nemesis of the Pop Soda Liquid Superman. He has been featured in the Pop Soda comics and has been released as both a "finger puppet" figure and the larger sized soft vinyl version.
We have always thought this character had huge crossover potential so we invited an array of artists from different genres including Kustom Kar Kulture Krowd as well as healthy dose of the usual suspects, gave them Glow-in the-dark blanks and asked them to go to town. On top of the painter/sculptors, we have also invited illustrators, fashion designers and even a video artist to contribute pieces to the show. There will T-shirts, blanks, and other swag for sale plus a special limited run of Many Meys by Mr. Paul Kaiju. If the entries so far are any indication this show is going be insane!!!
The Many Many Many Mey Dymanite Custom will debut with a sneak peak at Superfestival 48 on January 11, which is first for them to have this kind of an exhibition as part of the show. Thanks for the support Art Storm!
The Tokyo show will be at the 8-style gallery above the shop in Koenji on from Friday January 16 - Sunday January 18th. There will be a drink-up on Friday night after so everyone is invited! Thanks to 8-style for the space. (also a big up to Ken at One-Up for support as well)
But wait.. there's more! The whole kit and kaboodle is headed to Brooklyn for a show at the new MISHKA space (store?) in Brooklyn to coincide with New York Comiccon during the first week in February. Watch this space for exact details. Of course their will be additional artists and more goodies available then. Thank you MISHKA!!!
We're are hoping to hook up a west coast venue as well so - again - keep watching this space.
After the world tour the Many Many Many Mey's will make a triumphant Homecoming top Osaka with a show in March.
Many of the customs will be for sale as well - so for details on this - you got it - watch this space.
