Loved this cartoon when i was a kid and would watch it every time its on. Although i could not afford the toys this cartoon was based on. My mom would have me play with plastic dinosaurs and ill build lego weapons for them and have G.I.Joes as the riders. I think that's much cooler.

This episode was all about the Torosaurus and how they worked in a herd. 80's cartoon always had a message. What do cartoons do now for kids except for collect card games and fry the brains. My kid will definitely be watching all 80's cartoons. It worked for our generation pretty well.

Abakus Takeout x EL TORO colaboration in the works.

This image i sketched up is for a flyer and t-shirt graphic for my upcoming solo show at Abakus Takeout. They have been kind enough to trust me with the graphic and the total feel of the show. Things are slowly coming together for this and I can not wait for it to happen. It's going to feature new works that have not been showcased. ALL NEW WORKS. no recycled works from the past. It is going to be definitely a new and fresh look for the whole Philly street art scene. We are making waves and its time for people to take notice. Philly street art is definitely evolving rapidly to a great character based scene. No city in the world, that i know of, right now are on the same wave as we are.

So mark your calendars, its SEPTEMBER 27, 2008. You have been warned.

Stay tune for more images for the show coming up soon.

MIGHTY MUGGS X TRANSFORMERS X G.I. JOE

Been seriously slacking on the mighty muggs. its getting harder and harder to keep up. just as i thought i bought my last few here they go again!! so here are some pictures via toysrevil blog I might just have to abandon my marvel and star wars and focus on these guys.

GI JOE 1st wave is Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes and Storm mutha-fucking Shadow! booya bitches! A definite must.

Transformers 1st wave are Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Megatron and Sound-fuckin-wave! I was surprised with the Soundwave choice, i thought Starscream would make the cut. I am happy they chose him and can't wait to see what extras comes with him.

SEQUEL BREWING X EL TORO

EL BORRACHO 6'ER AND DEUCE DEUCE, originally uploaded by frost215.

So a few months ago, Matt from findingphilly.com hits me up to colaborate with him on his microbrew expedition and after a few talks we came up with the first batch EL BORRACHO.

Sequel Brewing is now born and the first batch is called EL BORRACHO. It's called Sequel Brewing because of the theme we chose for this is Rocky. This doesn't really illustrate that idea yet, but their are other beers in the works that will play on the Rocky villains.
The 2 turtles on the side top label are Rocky's turtles, Cuff & Link. and to tie in more to the rocky theme we set up an established Jan. 1st 1976. That was the date of Rocky's first fight.

EL BORRACHO is a Summer Wit brew. It has a dark golden color and the taste is bold and refreshing. It's super exclusive because this batch is limited to 2 cases. Don't worry though their will be a next batch.

Click on the picture to see more on my flickr stream.

Like Rocky were swinging till the end. Nothing can knock us out.

Thanks again to Matt for this opportunity and check out his flickr and blog here

¡Viva La Zapata!

Zapatista, originally uploaded by frost215.

Another canvas done this weekend. Been getting busy with some different style this time. I think its a blend between my previous techniques mixed with the new ones i recently learned. So far this has been my favorite peice, but it seems like i say that everytime i finish a new one. The next one is a strange one, that i really don't know what to do for just yet. Also i got a request to do a farmer toro with a pitchfork and corn. It's starting to shape up like "American Nightmare" painting dipped in acid in my head.

Also, many of you guys already know that toys are in production since 1 year or so ago. I just got word that the final sculpt we approved is now too big to mold. Now that leaves us back to square 1. I now have to redesign my sketch and make Toro built like a GI JOE. This means couple peices will be molded and then put together to build this behemoth. Stay tune for that cuz i think i'll start posting the process for any one who wish to know how this is done. It's been such a long task and to end up back to square 1 is a bummer. I am happy though that after this it should come out perfect and awesome. We're still shooting for a 08 release date. We'll see how that works out.

Leaving you guys with some sites for toys and just another shout out to my boys at Abakus.

ABAKUS TAKEOUT

These guys know how to do it right. I found out about this shop from my friend at http://www.findingphilly.com He actually blogged about it to.

From the outside you see ducks along with Nike SB and as soon as you get in the store you are greeted kindly and a whole new experience is upon you. They definitely thought about the details and made great use of their retail space. From the jeans in woks in the kitchen, laces in tupperware, takeout boxes and even the classic plastic food shots on the wall. It's definitely stands out from the other "street wear" shops in Philadelphia. Its only been 6 weeks since their doors opened and the hype is building up like crazy. They already got featured on the Action news tonight. Definitely do not sleep on this shop. Visit them now! They are super nice and trying to make a new mark in Chinatown. They have brands you haven't seen in Philly before and the shoe collection is gorgeous. You can visit them in here

227 N. 10th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107

and visit them at http://www.abakustakeout.com You should check out their blog for some more tasty pictures of the shop.
