COMIC-CON!

This past weekend Comic-Con hit San Diego and brought comic, movie, and sci-fi fans together for a weekend of fun, games, and of course crazy costumes! One of our employees here at Junk Food, Paul, was lucky enough to attend this wild event and he took some awesome photos! Check out some of the highlights of this years Comic-Con (according to Paul).

JUNK FOOD @ MELTDOWN COMICS

Meltdown Comics has a new roomie – Junk Food!
 

Meltdown and Junk Food met a few months back and it was love at first sight. The two really hit it off and it wasn’t long until Meltdown asked them to move in!  Meltdown, if you don't know, is THE place to go for everything comic book and collectable related on the west coast, and has been selling from its store on Sunset Blvd since 1993.

 

Junk Food Clothing is launching a fully branded pop-up store at Meltdown, bringing you exclusive capsules of limited edition tees for mens, womens, and kids. Known for their signature soft fabrics and vintage feel, expect to see a variety of designs from their enormous portfolio of fun pop-culture licenses, kicking off with GI Joe, Tonka, Transformers, Monopoly, Twister and more! The assortment is constantly revolving so check back for newness – and stay tuned for special events and new themed capsules to hit the store. Lots of fun to come!

NEON MARVEL MADNESS

Came across this Flikr collection by cartoonist Nick Derington of Marvel Third Eye posters! These pieces are hunted down by serious comic collecters, and you can see why...the colors are incredible.

COMICON 2011

This weekend I was one of a few lucky JunkFoodys that had the opportunity to visit San Diego's annual Comicon convention.  Comicon, to all you novices, celebrates all things comic related, branching out into films, print, fantasy, and all things nerdy!! We loved having passes that described us as "Profesionals"…professional nerds perhaps? We'll take that!

The amount of merchandise and exhibits on show is pretty overwhelming and ranges from the obvious Star Wars and Marvel stands to more obscure comic art and upcoming artists.

Probably the most entertaining part, for me at least, was the amount of people who were dressed up as their favorite characters. Some people had definitely been saving all their pocket money to afford some craaaazy outfits… There were too many spiderman's at Comicon to count, but we later found out that the new Spiderman, Andrew Garfield, had visited the event in costume…I wonder if this is him waving to us??

If i had to guess I would probably say that brandon had the most fun ;)

Junk Food fans were out in force this weekend and we were really excited to meet them! Here are just a few that we managed to stop for a photo. All in all a GREAT weekend!!

MARK TODD EXHIBITION

Been a fan of this guy for a while so when we found out he was showing at a gallery in L.A .I was ecstatic!! He is exhibiting until the end of the month at the La Luz De Jesus Gallery at the back of the Wacko bookstore on Hollywood blvd (which sells Junk Food…check them out…!!).  The comic book influence is apparent through out his work which we LOVE but we hadn't anticipated the mixed media pieces and the installation which were fantastic. Would love an investment piece but most had sold by the time we got there..boooooo.
