LA Munny Show Pics
November 4, 2005
The Munny Show last night was excellent. Open bar, great people, Munny building area (with paint, hair, feather, yarn, everything), and amazing pieces. Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, and a couple of other artists showed up. There’s a link below to Vinyl Pulse’s photos from last night. Check them out.

I’ve watched his work evolve for a while now, his style has become so solid. He’s illustrations and mixed media pieces are incredible. Below are samples of his work, more of which can be found on his knnth.com.
Super #1 Robot – Japanese Robot Toys 1972-1982
November 2, 2005
“Aesthetically, this photo-collection of classic Japanese toy robots is a double-fisted rocket-punch knock-out. Photographer Tim Brisko furnishes sublime shots of some of the most revered pieces from the Golden Age of Japanese toys, accompanied by the scholarly illuminations of ‘bot lovers Matt Alt and Robert Duban, with additional input from industry legend Saburo Ishizuki. It’s amazing how far this book’s appeal extends beyond the usual target-audience for all things robotic, plastic, die-cast, and Japanese; Brisko’s moody photography and the editorial contextualization of the subject matter lift these pieces out of the toybox and into the realm of serious art and design, where they belong.”
