Tomopop About Town: Meth & Hot Dogs 2 at LIFT Detroit
On May 1, a curious little show by the name of Meth & Hot Dogs 2 opened at LIFT Detroit. While I wasn't able to make opening night, a later trip up there was certainly in the cards for this weekend. And while there's a few names featured on Tomopop before in the show, there's plenty to check out on the custom toy front from old and new names alike. In addition to custom works, there's also paintings and a few other works of art to check out as well. Check out the gallery for some shots of the customs for the show. The show runs through the end of the month at LIFT (228 W. 4th St., Royal Oak, Mich.) if you'd like to attend. Got a favorite, Tomopop readers? Did you know?
