The Soopa Show

April 21, 2008

Saturday, April 19th at Concrete Jungle was ESC-Toy’s Soopa Show, an exhibition of over 30 artists’ take on the Soopa Coin-Up Bros. DIY vinyl toy, which premiered the day before at the New York Comic Convention. I was asked to customize a cast resin prototype for the show, which was pretty much my dream job since the Soopa is modeled after the type of classic arcade machine that housed the classic video games that influence my art. After a particularly amusing incident while sketching one night at my favorite dive bar, I was inspired to create a character called “Cock Blocker”.

More photos of the show, the NYCC, and other Soopas after the jump.
