TeXt Marks The Spot

Vinyl Toy Network Winter 2008 was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to chat with artists, toy companies, shops, fans and collectors. People were lined up hours in advance to get a crack at exclusive art toys by Joe Ledbetter, Kathie Olivas, Frank Kozik, Gary Ham, Doktor A, MAD, Marka27 and others. Customized figures by Attaboy, Erick Scarecrow, Dli$h and Dril One also got snapped up. Though there was less of a haul for eastern toy fans, the double threat of Flopdoodle and Super7 cleared out a few wallets.

I developed my style of covering conventions at VTN. I gave each designer an individual post and then wrote a feature round-up. All of this was achieved within 24 hours after doors opened for the first day of the convention. I love to travel for art! Hire me if you need me!
