Those familiar red (sold) dots were quickly adhered to Cris Rose's Rotund's Romp, Cris and Okkle's Happy Joy Bot, Le Merde's Vanfar, Hello, Brute's Danny, Makkinoso's Evil Spike, WeKillYou's William Palerne and pretty much all pieces by Arbito and 2Petalrose. The dotting continued into the night, as fans circled around the display and marveled at the diversity of the medium.

WeKillYou has been super ultra busy lately, what with hiding monster plaques throughout NYC, making pieces for Red Hot Robot’s Resin Collective show and quietly conquering the known universe. Being their Facebook friends definitely has its advantages. Perhaps it’ll earn me a few extra moments to say goodbye when their monsters eventually crush civilization. Deal? Early [...]
