Toy Fare 2015: Pics From The Showroom Floor - Pt. 2 by Mike D

I had the luck (wink, wink... thanks Gary!) to garner some passes to this years 2015 Toy Fare in NYC. For those who don't know what the hell that is, it is the MAIN trade show where EVERY toy company showcases what they have coming out for the next year. This is where they secure funding for what they want to do for the next year, where prototypes become reality... basically a peak inside 2015/16 for the whole toy industry. I went in thinking it would be kind of cool, however once I was there I was OVERWHELMED! I took over 300 pics.... here are a few for you. Enjoy the pics after the jump, and check back later for the rest of the pics in collections part 3.

CCD Interviews: Live From The Show Floor Of The 2014 NY Comic Con - Sal Lo Medico

Real recognizes real... that is just the truth. We met Sal Lo Medico back last year at a smaller comic con held at a NYC hotel and I immediately knew that this dude was just like us. Sal is just a Brooklyn based artist that does awesome work featuring pop culture/horror/comic book icons that we all know and love so much. So it is not a surprise that we actually hit it off. Oh, and did I mention that his specialty is designing posters that are in spectacular 3-D? These things look phenomenal to the regular eye, but slide on a pair of vintage 3-D glasses (which Sal provides if you buy a print!) and the magic happens!!! Such great pieces, and the craziest part about the whole thing is that our buddy Sal sold out his whole NY Comic Con stock in just THREE DAYS!!!! Wow, a successful show for a successful artist. We are looking forward to working with Sal at one of our future art shows... sooner, rather than later. Check out his facebook page, his website, his red bubble page, and after the jump you find his interview conducted by the one and only CCD interviewer extraordinaire Tommy Lombardozzi....

CCD Interviews: Live From The 2014 NY Comic Con Show Floor - Artist Ken Knudtsen

So this year, like every year, we hope to find some new fantastic artistic talent down in Artist Alley. We send our intrepid reporter Tommy Lombardozzi out among the artists to find the best and brightest of up and comers... no need to stop by the established artists tables, we are looking for the ones that people don't quite know yet... but will very soon! Ken Knudtsen is that kind of guy. With an awesome comic of his own (My Monkey's Name is Jennifer), and some fantastic commission work done at the show (courtesy of his own blog), Mr. Knudtsen shows exactly why we chose to feature the guy here on CCD. Oh, it doesn't hurt that my man Ken is also a fellow contributor to the Sketch Lottery... which Tommy & I happen to be memebers and contributors of!!!! Lot's of fun, hope you guys enjoy the interview and pics of Ken's commissions from this years show after the jump....
