CCD Presents: Ray Arcadio Live From Artists Alley at the 2013 NY Comic Con

On the first day of set up for our booth we were quite early. Joe Fletch, Tommy and I arrived at the Javits and began setting up our booth. There were not that many artists setting up in Artists Alley, but there was one a few rows away that instantly caught our attention. Ray Arcadio had canvas art for sale, and his style jumped out at me because it reminded me of one of my favorite artists, Sam Keith. His faces were not exactly like Keith's drawings, but the mouths reminded me of The Maxx. That was enough to get me over to the table. Once I did, I started chatting up Ray and he was a really cool dude. His work was really fantastic, and once we began talking on camera it became apparent that I was speaking to one of the most down to earth artists at the con. You can check out more of his work by jumping on his website, and you can see the interview we conducted after the jump...

CCD Presents: Artist Ali Solomon Live From Artists Alley at the 2013 NY Comic Con

There were over 300 artists who displayed and sold their work in Artists Alley at the 2013 NY Comic Con. They are all very talented and unique in their own way. But when I walked down the aisle that Ali Solomon's booth was occupying, I was stopped in my tracks. The work that he had displayed was absolutely awesome... it looked as if I was looking at a HDTV set tuned to the Cartoon Network. The colors are so vibrant and jump off the page. It was a style that is so unique, that there was nobody displaying art like that for sale. Ali was a really cool dude and was willing to chat with us live from his booth about his process and what goes into his art. He was very forthcoming and provide excellent insight into his whole artistic process. Check out more of his work over at Wheelz In Motion, and you can see his Deviant Art page by clicking here. You can also email Ali (kudoze@msn.com) and request print prices... and all of you should do so, cause his work is just fantastic. I personally picked up his Flash/Road Runner piece, and I can't wait to get it framed! After the jump you can see a few of his pieces that are my favorite as well as the full video interview.

CCD Links It Up: Vol #11

Today's edition of CCD Links It Up takes us on a very interesting journey. I have become completely enamored by ZergNet (you all have seen the links on the bottom of some of your favorite webpages) and their offbeat lists and stories. I am sharing a few of them with you today. Also, who knew that Vanessa Lachey was still so f'n hot? I sure didn't, and that Nick Lachey is one lucky mofo for having Jessica Simpson in her prime and now this stunning Spanish beauty. What did this cornball ever do o deserve such luck? Enjoy the links after the jump....

CCD Presents: A One Time Screening Of Bad Santa!!!

I have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to work with Tugg, a new company that allows you to schedule one night only showings of some fantastic films on the big screen at your neighborhood movie theater. We have had a few false starts, but we have finally came to an agreement on our first joint venture. CCD is proud to team with Tugg to present the classic raunchy Christmas comedy Bad Santa!!! Watch Billy Bob Thorton & the late, great Bernie Mac fill the screen with drunken hi jinks and debauchery for one night on the big screen... the show will take place on Tuesday December 18th at 7:30 pm at the AMC  Loews Village 7 in Manhattan. The catch is this: The screening will only take place if a certain amount of tickets are presold. That number is 70 (since I will be purchasing 2 myself) and the number has to be reached by December 13th. We need your support to get this screening going, so click here (or on the flyer in the sidebar) and head over to the Tugg page in order to purchase your tickets now.You will only be charged when the ticket count reaches 72. If the screening does not take place because we fail to reach the minimum number of tickets sold, you will never be charged at all. I hope to see all of you guys there, and that this is the first of many screenings we partner with Tugg to hold in the future. I am also looking forward to seeing the cool artwork that Tommy Lombardozzi and Sean Hartter are working on. for the screening. Hopefully we can get some prints made and have them for sale the night of the show!!! Click after the jump for some flyers designed by the incomparable Lockheed Lee after the jump...
