It's Designer Con Eve!!!

November 20, 2009

'Twas the day before D.Con and all through the house...

Tomorrow, Saturday, November the 21st, DesignerCon will be held at the Pasadena Convention Center from 10am to 5pm.

"Join the fun as the show covers all the different aspects of "design" and art. From collectible toys, custom figures, designer apparel & some of the best urban, underground and pop art, the DesignerCon show has something for everyone."

U1 Toy Arts will occupy booth #68. They will have Boris vinyl figures, t-shirts (an original design and a rare design) prints, and posters for sale and will be taking pre-orders for a Bronze Boris. In addition to those items, there is going to be a very cool surprise prototype.

Also, I will be signing at U1 Toy Arts from 1pm to 3pm.

I think this is going to be better than Christmas!
I hope to see you there!

Here's my Halloween costume from this year. Yep, I was Boris. The costume consisted of a purple hoodie, which was sewn with great skill and love by

Jillian Seaman

(Thanks again, Jill.), an eggplant and black striped shirt, a black domino mask, a dab of black face paint and a desire for mischief. The patterns for the costume were saved so you can leave requests for your own Boris hoodie in the comments.
