Custom Rollie Preview for The Rollie Show @ All the Right (Oct 30)

PRESS: The Rollie Show starts at 6pm next Friday October 30th at a graffiti supply/hip hop clothing shop called All the Right, which is located at 3561 Junction Blvd in Queens.

The event is organized and curated by artist NEMO (Mike Mendez) and Benny (of Tenacious Toys) and features mini roll-on deodorant bottles as platform of choice! [blogged]. CLICK THRU to have a gander at some select customs done so far, as well as words from Benny :)

Benny-said: NEMO (Mike Mendez) and I are really excited to bring to you our first on-location custom show, the Rollies Show! The concept is that one need not spend lots of money to obtain a platform toy that you are just going to cut up and paint over anyway. Why not use something like a mini roll-on deodorant that costs 99 cents?

NEMO and I have mailed out scores of Rollies to artists all over the world, and more customs are coming back to us every day with some really interesting, professional work!

The custom Rollies will be on display on nice spot-lit shelves usually dedicated to expensive sneakers. There will be music and live painting by street artists as well, so we'd both be really excited if you could show up! Bring your friends, whether they be writers, street artists, toy people, sneakerheads or bloggers!"
