Vinylmore at Atomic Pop

Congrats to Crafty Bastard artist and Dirtfarm creator Ben Claassen III, and all of the artists who participated in the art toy show Vinylmore, this past Friday, at Atomic Pop in Baltimore, MD.

Vinylmore had more than 50 (mostly) Baltimore comic artists, designers, fine artists, tattooists, photographers, collectors and more, design their own creations from blank toys such as Qees, Munnies and a host of others. The result was a show packed with politics, humor, horror, and crazy good design. Painting and transferring images on these blank vinyl toys isn’t easy, but all the artists (with a few exceptions) showed off their art and graffiti skills with complex ideas, vivid imagery and intricate details in each piece.

And, I can say that I am now the proud owner of Oui Marcel, created by Jordan Jeffries.

I live about 3 blocks away from Atomic Pop, the toy store sister of Atomic Books. Both Atomic shops are located on “The Avenue” in Hamden in Baltimore; if you’ve only come up to Balimore to explore Fells Point and the Inner Habor, your shopping, eating and drinking senses will be blown away by the eclectic selection of stores, restaurants and bars in Hampden.

Atomic Pop hosts book signings and art openings that are all worth checking out. The free drinks at shows, good prices on their merchandise, and a nice selection of craft and art books makes this place a must-see when in B’more.

Vinylmore runs through March 31st at Atomic Pop (3620 Falls Rd., Baltimore, MD).
