Arsenal of Artists "No Toon Left Behind" Group Show at Suburban Vinyl This Saturday

    Do kids watch cartoons anymore?  I remember looking forward to Saturday mornings all week, not just because I didn't have to go to school, but because all of the best shows were on then.  Not that I have kids of my own mind you, but I picture them today glued to their smart phones and being consumed with auditions for the next season of Teen Mom.  Kids are the devil.

    Arsenal of Artists wants us to remember the simpler times, when the minds of children were more focused on Scooby Doo and less on being emotionally stunted by the internet.  Playful Gorilla and Cash Cannon have put together a massive group show called "No Toon Left Behind" that celebrates the innocence of waking up early on your day off as a youngster and being glued to the tv.  Just look at the list of artists participating:

    

    Thank you to whoever made this graphic cause I would have gotten a blister trying to type all of those names.  This thing is taking place on Saturday at Suburban Vinyl in New Jersey and from the amount of work that will be on display I'm wondering if they had to expand just to fit it all in there.  Find out for yourself while taking a sweet nostalgia trip.

FUK Series 2 Trading Cards Preorder Happening Now

   My grandfather has been pretty sick recently and it's made me think about the times we've spent together.  For some reason one thing that really sticks out in my mind is him driving me to every 7-11 in Newport News, Virginia hunting down packs of Garbage Pail Kids.  I was a weird little dude who liked nothing more than professional wrestling and horror movies, so these were right up my alley.  It took us 3 or 4 stops and countless miles before we found a place that wasn't sold out of them.  I barely got the packs to the car before ripping them all open and laughing hysterically at the weird images that each card contained.  It's a silly little moment that right now holds a lot of meaning for me.

    Renone wants everyone to be able to relieve those childhood memories with his series of GPK inspired cards.  Many different toy artists are involved in this series, including Motorbot, Kris Dulfer, Cash Cannon, and Don Chulo.  Preorders are happening right now for this seconds series of cards and even uncut sheets of the entire set.
