Pee Wee's Playhouse

Last night I got to see the new Pee Wee's Playhouse stage show. It was amazing, the set was wonderful, incredible puppetry and the magic that is Pee Wee. It was great to revisit his world that remains the same but was nicely updated so as not to seem just a thing of nostalgia. The kids in the audience loved it.

It also got me thinking about what a huge influence Pee Wee is on my own artwork. He really staked out amazing piece of territory and filled it with amazing characters. It is sad that it was all put on hold for years because of a little speedbump. But hopefully this new show will get it going again and the world of Pee Wee Herman will exist to entertain for many years to come.

Third Grade

I have been a huge comics fan since I was a kid, so when I was going through the yearbook from my Elementary School, I was amazed to find our class pictured had me holding a comic book. It is a copy of Marvel Team-Up #17. What is interesting is that it is not a comic I remember owning so I suspect one of my buddies had brought some comics to school and we decided to have our picture taken holding them. Kind of a testament to power comics played in my life as a kid and on into my life.

My First Show of the Year

I will be setting up the Mr Toast booth at the first LA Street Food Fest. This is going to be a crazy cool show with 30 food trucks and 30 designer vendors (including our friends Spicy Brown). It is $5 to get in and they are expecting a crowd!
