New York Comic Con supports the popular arts, and that is especially seen in The Block.

The Block brings together art, design, collectible toys and fashion of the underground pop culture scene, along with the tastemakers, trend setters, artists, thinkers and the brands that they create.

There’s lots of cool stuff to see, like an art fair for cool kids.

I’ll try and notate everything I saw… but apologies to the many creators! You can view them all here!

True story: When Kenner wanted to test the gold paint job on the new C-3PO action figure case, they ran 100 of the Darth Vader cases through the machine. This, with the black eyes, is much cooler.
