Ring in the New Year With Robbie Busch’s El Diablo
Robbie Busch has been finessing his art formula since many Kidrobot devotees were drinking formula (particularly true for kids born in the late 70s when formula briefly reigned over milk). His colorful career spans comics (more Sandman than superher0), film, animation, music, photography and writing. Robbie, aka McBoing Boing, has clocked decades as part of the urban art scene, so who better to wax poetic on cultural changes as we teeter on the precipice of a new year? ToyCyte chatted up the New Yorker about life, art and his first original resin toy. You can check out paintings and pieces from Robbie's recent show at Rotofugi here, including prototypes of his El Diablo figure. The first wave of El Diablos available for purchase hit the Argonauts Resin store at 12PM PST/3PM EST today.
