Seen: Buff Monster's Born of the Abyss
Buff Monster opened his Kaiju-inspired Born of the Abyss solo at Giant Robot New York on Saturday, April 19th during NYCC. This show was a change-up from Buff with a different look featuring Kaiju monsters, dark Japanese mantras, and geometric patterns in his signature pink and silver. Buff's passion for Kaiju carried over from the paintings to a small run of custom Deathras. The show pieces are now available online -- check it out. Click through for more pics from the show including pics of the master of pink. The show runs through May 14th, 2008.
