I still have two or three A3 sized paper prints laying around. Not framed yet. Just saying...

"Coordinated by Matías Bovero (Bombermat) and César Zanardi (Cerrito) at Universidad de Palermo's show hall, this time the theme was "The Cult of Skeletor", a tribute to one of the most iconic villains in pop culture! The entrance of the hall had a shocking welcome sculpture by HK (Carlos Junco) which became a definitive "selfie spot" for everyone!
The TOY WALL displayed pieces of different materials (Resin, Sofubi, Vinyl, Fabric, Wood) and techniques (Custom, Bootlegs, Assemblage). All together with the Illustration sector became a cool display of different interpretations of Skeletor. From dark to funny, from sinister to kawaii, a great character can be interpreted in thousands of versions without losing its essence!
This one-night-only show was a nice chance to go for some wine, listen some music, meet the artists and then go out for more fun at the Bar&Pub district nearby after the show." - shared César Zanardi.
