I Miss My Mondo Gecko

My day stared pretty bad. Somehow my body thought going to bed at 3AM and waking up at 8 AM would work fine. It didn't work for my eyes. After breakfast I decided to draw a little bit but my eyes started to hurt. So I needed something to do that doesn't involve a computer screen or bright light.

I messed around with watercolors but then I came up with the idea of going on a journey through our attic. I wanted to get my old Mondo Gecko back but I only found his skateboard. Damn! That lizard punk was my best toy ever.  I might have to search again but for now I found something a little less awesome. My old Chupa Caps! This is a picture of the cans and Mondo Geckos board. The cans were all filled with Chupa Caps, Pogs, Slammers, even some Disney Caps and Power Rangers stuff.


The best part about this game are those rare caps with this effect that lets you see 2 different images depending on the angle of your view. I found 20 of them, I guess thats 20 out of 30. I loved them so much! Cartoon violence full of gore and awsomeness. I think those caps really influenced me and my art. It's hard to take photos of them, I tried scanning them...


So let's hang out and play with caps again! I'm bringin' it back! I also found some other toys. The toilet is from Ghostbusters and the other guys are from that Bucky O Hara show I guess. I found some Batmans and Turtles, too but still no Mondo Gecko. After that I ran around the house and took some random photos some turned out pretty good, I might upload them sometimes.
