2010 Comic-Con Map of the Toy Growers Cultyard

By now, everybody’s got their own list of Comic-Con 2010 must have toys, but do you have your entrance strategy? Here’s some help. This map of the Toy Growers Cultyard (with a handful of notable toy allies highlighted on the outskirts of the neighborhood) should assist you in plotting the path of least resistance (aka fewest elbows in the ribs) as you make your mad dash to DKE, Dragatomi, Gargamel/Grass Hut, Hi-Fructose, Kidrobot, Munky King, Rocketworld, Rotofugi, STRANGEco, Super7, tokidoki, Toy Tokyo, Uglydolls,  Zerofriends or wherever your feet (and the involuntary grip of the herd) transport you. Click the image above to view a hi-resolution jpeg formatted to standard landscape-oriented letter size paper. Or click HERE to download a PDF. Feel free to share and distribute this map. If you see any errors on the map, please leave a comment below on the blog! If you see the guy in the lower right corner, please say hello! See you all in San Diego!

Hi Fructose Collected Edition 2 Box Set FTW

Hi-Fructose continues to hold its title as one of the most relevant art magazines you should be reading with its upcoming Hi Fructose Collected Edition 2 Box Set. Although there will also be a separate book-only edition, we’re going to go out on a limb and encourage you to get the “solid ribbon-tied Deluxe Box Set”. We’re super-excited for our friends Jason Freeny and Mars-1, but the Travis Lampe (specially designed for this set) and Gary Baseman sticker packs are already getting us amped to adhere some art. And then there’s the intriguing matter of “The Taxidermy of Dr. Seuss”…The entire package from the book to the extras is pretty stellar, which is why we are going to give it the tag of our highest caliber, sight unseen. Hi-Fructose Collected 2 is AWESOMESAUCE.

Lots more picture-previews to be found on the Hi-Fructose blog here.
