Just in from Rotofugi, tomorrow is the opening of their ‘Greetings From Near And Afar Show’ featuring artwork from 64 Colors and mexican artist CHema Skandal.

‘The “Near” in the title refers to Michigan-based artist duo Eric and Laura, aka 64 Colors. They’re not only the creators of our Marshall series of toys, but also extremely talented artists. Expect beautiful otherworldly paintings, retro style prints, fantastic custom toys (Munnys, Dunnys and Marshalls) plus a fantastic series of hand-sculpted one-of-a-kind paper clay figures. Really, really amazing what these two can do!

The “Afar” in the title refers to another one of our artist friends, CHema Skandal. CHema is based in Mexico City though we first met him at San Diego Comic Con last year. We were immediately impressed by his highly-stylized retro style when he handed us a card. We didn’t waste much time in trying to get a show on the calendar with this talented emerging artist. CHema has turned in a great body of playful mixed media pieces on both wood and paper, all very reasonably priced!

Eric and Laura will be attending the opening so be sure to bring your sketch book! Unfortunately Chema couldn’t make it, but don’t let that stop you from coming out to see his fantastic art! Snacks, sodas and music by DJ Qbot make the evening complete.’

Opening night is tomorrow Friday, August 7 from 7 – 10pm.  Exhibition runs through August 23rd.
