a megagwin show custom update
October Toy's MEGAGWIIN custom-show [blogged] is just around the corner on Oct 13th (lasting til Nov 7th) @ Alpha Cult - and with the customs that have been surfacing online recently, it sure looks like one heck of a show to come, IMHO - and a quick visual update on customs thus far (more to come) as well as a quickie-Q&A with the October Toys-crew (ie: George & Ayleen Gaspar and Matt-neck-punch-Alyward)TOYSREVIL: how did the MegaGwinShow come about?
MATT: No reason.
GEORGE: Cause we wanted to have an art show.

MATT: Really big Gwins
GEORGE: 50+ talented artists from around the world coming together for a month of Gwin fun!

TRE: is the display arena gonna be dressed-up to look like the north pole? (im still resisting watching Happy Feets...)
GEORGE: No, just some Halloween touches. We are October Toys, afterall.

TRE: when was the Gwin-design ever conceived? who designed it? and why Gwins?
AYLEEN: The Gwin is modeled after Tux, the Linux mascot, which was designed by Larry Ewing and the GIMP. George made me a 3-D version as a present several years ago and that later became the Gwin!

ALL: Goodie bags for the first 50 people, cupcakes, booze, and free neck punches!
