The Super Suck Up! comes to DesignerCon 2012
DesignerCon is still about, oh, three months out (it's on November 3), but it's never too early to make an announcement. DKE Toys have just announced that a Sucklord-inspired show, The Super Suck Up!, will be taking place during DesignerCon at their booth! Each of the artists invited to take part is making 50 customized Sucklord figures, which will get the full carded treatment from the Sucklord and be on sale for US$100 each. Participating artists include Billions McMillions, Buff Monster, DrilOne, Doktor A, Ferg, Frank Kozik, Jason Freeny, L'Amour Supreme, Luke Chueh, Matt Doughty/Onell Design, October Toys, Paul Kaiju, Scott Tolleson, Scott Wilkowski, Skinner, and The Sucklord himself. That's quite an impressive lineup, or as the Sucklord put it, "It's great that I'm baller enough that all these successful artists have to make my **** for me. All I have to do is design some ***ty grafix and wait for the check. I love how DKE is pimping real artists for my benefit." Yep, that sounds like the good ol' Sucklord to me. The Super Suck Up! is part of the festivities featuring DKE and the Sucklord for DesignerCon, including a retrospective show titled "A Losing Proposition: 2004-2012" and the second annual Suckathon in collaboration with Toy Break from noon to 5 p.m. Can't wait to see how the customs turn out!
