"
Dare To Be Stupid" sees the Art & Toy Work of
Jesse DeStasio happening @ Aubergine Cafe on June 9th from 7pm. Folks might have seen his wares at Toy Street recently - with a selection of his self-made action figures, as well as Tankhead incarnations based on his character seen in his own comicbooks. No doublet plenty of stories to be had! Check out his website @
jessedestasio.com or his
Flickr-stream. Also

WEBSITE-BIO: Jesse DeStasio was formerly an Ice Cream Maker at Carvel. He was in charge of writing birthday (and funeral) messages with colored sugar gel in cursive (a skill he barely learned in grade school). Part of his charge was also ti make said ice cream cakes (one layer of chocolate, layer of cookie crumbs, one layer of vanilla, frost throughout) and place them in the freezer to set for sales the next morning. Also under his charge was the task of moping floors and cleaning out the ice cream machines with hot water. Jesse diligently performed these tasks every shift with no fanfare. He was later fired. If you are looking for someone to make ice cream cakes for you, contact him.
