Throwback - New York Comic Con Past.

Nubia Mejia 11:38:00 AM

Who's excited for Comic Con?

Due to some inconveniences, I won't be able to attend San Diego Comic Con (damn you!) But my heart belong to New York anyways and I can't wait for Press Registration to open up for New York Comic Con. My friends over at Reed Pop are killing the game. October is going to be a GREAT month!

Being that it's Throwback Thursday and all, I thought I'd provide you with some cool images I took at New York Comic Con probably about 4 years ago (2011 I believe). Enjoy!

Tiny Toons

Dennis Salvatier (Tanoshiboy) LilBFF's Series.

I Am So Smitten With These!

(Dexter and DeeDee)

Dennis Salvatier AKA Tanoshiboy created a series of LilBFFS and I can't stop starring at them. I love looking at art that makes me happy. He's brought some intense joy into my day by making me think back to my childhood (simpler days) and remember how much fun I would have watching these cartoons he's drawn.

From Super Heros, Dexters Lab, Ducktales, to some of my favorites shows on Nickleodeon! Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats. He's even featured Babs and Buster Bunny from Tiny Toons and those zany Animaniacs.

(Ducktales)

(Spidey, Firestar, and Iceman.

(Rugrats)

(Ren and Stimpy)

(Anamaniacs)

(Tiny Toons)

Make sure you stop by Tanoshiboy's shop HERE.

Which one of these is your favorite?

Stan Lee's Spider-Man Sketch Hangs Out With An 8-Year Old In Harlem.

Stan Lee drew a special request Spider-Man for a child with autism.

Photo via NY Times

According to the New York Times, 8 year old Jamel Hunter received a very special package. In the package was a picture frame of a penciled sketch of a stick figure, Spider-Man! Above the figure there is a word bubble that says “Hi Jamel.”

Jamel has had a tough life for a young boy. His mother suffered from Blount’s disease which later caused her to move around in a motorized wheelchair. She often worked different jobs to get by. Jamel himself didn't even speak until he was in pre-school. Jamel then began working with the Kennedy Child Study Center which helps children with intellectual disabilities.

Jamel loves Spiderman and his 8th birthday was approaching (which was Spiderman themed)....

California native Corky Hale read an article about Jamel in the paper and must have felt very touched. Hale just so happens to be neighbors with... wait for it... STAN LEE. She went to him with a special request and he was happy to do it apparently.

“This was a unique experience,” “Corky called me and said there was a little boy,” “She wanted a sketch, so I did one.”

Stan Lee, 92, was quick to point out that was one of the Spider-Man creators but he didn’t draw the comics. “I’m not known as an artist, which is lucky for the world,”.

How very awesome of Stan Lee to fulfill Corky's request for 8 year old Jamel. Now there is a happy boy with his Spiderman sketch resting somewhere in Harlem.

Funko Introduces the Pop! Home Line.

Nubia Mejia 11:37:00 PM

I love Funko's POP! Toys and now... They're introducing POP! HOME.

Awesome right? I'm sure you've seen their vinyl figures around. Disney, Marvel, Movies, Heroes, TV, you name it, odds are they have it. Now they're breaking into what I like to call the "FUN home decor business" (~~fuck boring china~~). Anyway, they're using their POP! designs on mugs and salt and pepper shakers from what I can tell for now.

Coming soon they'll have spatulas, coasters, lanyards, pen toppers and more. You know what that mean!? Kitchen make over time bitches!

Who doesn't want a little Venom pepper on their pasta? You can rise and shine with a cup of Captain America joe. You see where I'm going with this?

What do you guys think about POP! Home?

Wonderwoman

Throwback to Sacha Goldberger 'Super Flemish'.

Nubia Mejia 12:46:00 PM

Ok so I know this isn't really a "Throwback" (Dr. Evil Fingers) but I just started this blog recently and was looking for any excuse to feature French Photographers Sacha Goldberger's 'Super Flemish' series.

Goldberger took some fictitious pop culture icons such as superheros, fairytale characters and animals then photographed them as 16th century Flemish-style paintings. They wore their traditional outfits but with old-fashioned twists like ruffled collars and shirts with puffy sleeves. Over 100 people worked on the photos from this series, including 60 models, five costume designers and two digital editors.

Below be prepared to see some of your favorites, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Batman, Snow White, Darth Vader, The Hulk, Spiderman and more.
