Albotas Interviews Johnny Cupcakes @ NYCC 2011
Once upon a time your humble Albotas editor-at-large liked a band called On Broken Wings. Once upon a time he was inspired by the t-shirts of Johnny Cupcakes to launch his own t-shirt line. He would call it ALBOTAS and it would stand for A Little Bit On The Awesome Side. But then, blogging turned out to be way more fun (and way less of a hassle) than making t-shirts.
Enjoy our interview with the dude semi responsible for this site existing.
A Little Bit on Andrew Bell (NYCC 2011)
NYCC was obviously full of awesome artists and celebrities, but a special few stood out in my mind. One of them was Andrew Bell. You’ve seen his work in toy form (Android mini collectibles, O-No Sushi) as well as on paper and canvas (The Creatures in my Head). Check out my interview with Andrew Bell of Dead Zebra and DYZPlastic.
A huge thanks goes to Andrew!
NYCC 2011: Effing Adorable Fiona Cosplay
This is Charm from the geek fetish site CosplayDeviants.com and she was spotted at NY Comic Con letting dudes grab business cards out of her cleavage. I took part in no such activities because I’m a true gentleman — and also because she looked totally under age and I’m not trying to spend Comic Con in prison.Albotas Behind The Scenes: NYCC Day 2.

Android x tokidoki!?!?
It’s a great feeling when two of your favorite things collide, and this time it’s tokidoki and the Android mascot. MetroPCS and tokidoki are hosting a contest for their NYCC booth. All you have to do is design a tokidoki-inspired Android from a downloadable template. If you’re one of the ten winners, you’ll get free passes to NYCC, where your art just might be displayed.
If this means an Android x tokidoki toy from DYZPlastic is on its way, I can die happy.

Use These Hooks to Display Your Tees
For the most part, you have to wear your tee shirts. Otherwise, they don’t let you in stores and stuff. But once in a while, you get a shirt so awesome that you can’t possibly wear it out. It happened to me when I called my friend who was attending NYCC last Fall. I asked him to pick up one of those schnazzy Street Fighter Vs. Tokidoki shirts. Turns out he actually got it signed by Simone Legno for me. I can’t risk wearing that in the outside world where things like spilt coffee and wet paint exist. I eventually found these stick wall hanger things at Target. Just slap one on the wall, put a clothes hanger in your special shirt, and display with pride!
