TOYSREVIL in 'Detention Class' @ Detention Barracks #bodindetention

I went for "Detention Class" on a Sunday, not because I did anything "wrong" (Gawd knows I'm not exactly a "saint", but…) … and while we might have been one person short of "a criminal, an athlete, a brain, a basket case and a princess" (if you do not get the reference, you might be too young for me to explain it, so just roll along thru, no worries ;p), the art from members of Band of Doodlers was a sight I need to breathe in, before the exhibition closed, so I can gather strength to placate my inner demons ever ready to burst forth for 7th month!



The variety of art and styles ranged from everyday to refreshing. I mentioned "everyday" with a dose of reverence I reserve for my memories of my dalliance with indie black-n-white "alternative" comicbooks from my 90s, which haunts my sensibilities to this day, imagine me being a "horror" fan, as it were! The everyman lines from Daniel Clowes, Peter Bagge , the beatnik begrudged, to the fantastical tomorrows from 2000AD. And it was refreshing to find some in spirit, in #bodindetention.

But while not alienating the older-generational demographic such as myself, there were heapfuls of anime pop culture inspirations, to Spongebob Squarepants! I'm just glad I am not "too old" to miss out on the references *smiley*

And while I've posted serial features on the art, I too was quite intrigued with the custom-Munnys, and had wants to see them first hand and up close for myself. Not too bad for some whose work was the very first time they've attempted a custom toy, actually.
