Giant Robot

A few images from imprint life event on Wednesday. That was a
long full day.
The winners of the Qee contest. The frog won! Raymond Choy and I
walked around and around the 47 entries and came up with a list
that we kept pairing down further and further. The winner turned
out to be a kid named, Brandon Hahn (I think that's the name) from
Ohio. He turned the body backwards, used the hand and the feet
creatively to actually turn the Qee into something entirely different.
He innovated big time. Raymond plans to turn this into a real Qee.
Execution was on point, the innovation was on point too.
In the middle was the Qee by Dawn States from Oregon. Awesome
work. She just did a great paint job. This was the honorable
mention.
On the left was the people's choice. And it was by Brandon Hahn's
brother! A talented family. I thought the execution was great, but it
was Elvis, but the people who gave this the popular vote pick,
thought it was fine.
Me, David Horvath, Sun-min Kim, and Raymond Toy2r.
The dreamteam of sneakerville: YuMing from freshnessmag.com,
James Arizumi Nike SB, Tristan from Proper, and Woody Sneaker
Freaker. They talked sneakers.
My panel that I moderated. Susie Ghahremani, Bobby Hundreds, and
David Horvath.
The moderator of the sneaker panel was Josh Rubin from
Coolhunting.

Tomorrow is Imprint-Life. I think I had a small hand in part of this
event. I'm moderating a panel on DIY, and getting shit done that
way with David Horvath of Uglydoll, Susie Ghahremani, and Bobby
Kim from The Hundreds. A Qee contest which I judged, and a talk
by Raymond from Toy2R. Ah! And Sulu, George Takei will open the
event up. Should be fun.
