MEXICO.

FH are heading out to Mexico this week to give a talk at the 3rd annual CutOut Fest in Queretaro. The festival will take place from the 10th to the 12th of Nov. which in total is more sun than my pasty white skin can handle. So if you’re in town look for the big red guy he’ll hopefully be giving out some tiny sketches and what not, so please feel free to come up and get some goodies. We’ll be showing some behind the scenes stuff as well as some work that has never been seen or ever will be seen again!

The list of amazing speakers include Theodore Ushev, David O’Reilly, Tokyo Plastic, Julia Pott, and sooo many more, so please see the entire schedule online. 

Puppets.

FH kicked it in NY for a week and a half and soaked up all the goinz’ons.

First thing we did was hit up the New York Comic Con. This being our first “Con”,( that’s what kids in the know call it)  we weren’t sure what to expect, but it was everything you think it would be…costumes, artists, books, toys, costumes. It was nuts.Then we hit up the Lincoln Center for the tenth anniversary of The Royal Tannenbaums. Keeping things in Comic Book perspective, Eric Anderson is the spitting image of Chris Ware.After that we roamed the streets, running into Bill Murray and more costumes.We hit up St.Anne’s Warheouse for Stop The Virgens and had our socks knocked off.On our last day we hit up the Museum of Moving Image to take in the Jim Henson exhibit. When security guards weren’t looking we snapped a few polaroids of these fellas.The last thing we saw in NY, was this creepy ol’Yoda puppet.Then we grabbed a cab and got the hell outta there.We’re heading back this week to check out the Pictoplasma NY conference where we’ll be checking out some of our favourite artists like Gary Taxali and Tim Biskup. More news coming up shortly….
