Free Runner Diamond Kid Custom By Tony Gil

SF artist Tony Gil recently showed off his customizing skills at Kidrobot San Francisco’s first MUNNY Designing Session and he continues to do so with his latest custom, Free Runner Diamond Kid. Although now sold out, Free Runner Diamond Kid was Tony’s first custom 7-inch Kidrobot mascot and he did a super limited series of 5.

“Caught in action, perfectly balanced on one hand and spraying the town with the other. Jumping and climbing walls as if he were spiderman. Good luck catching him as he is fast and furious.”

Enjoy his cool time lapse video of Tony digitally sketching this kick ass custom concept.

Caine’s Arcade FTW

Here’s the inspiring story about 9-year old Caine Monroy and his extravagant DIY cardboard arcade he built in his father’s auto part store in East LA. It started with a mini basketball game that quickly expanded into numerous challenges like his hand crafted S-hook claw machine. For $1 you get 4 plays and for $2 you can get 500 turn FUN PASS with individual security codes. Caine invented coins, tickets, business cards, a staff t-shirt and even a box office window with speaker system. Now, thanks to independent film maker Nirvan Mullick, who stumbled across Caine’s Arcade while in need of a new door handle for his car, this super creative kid is ruling the internet. Nirvan decided to shoot a documentary and set up the most uplilfing flash mob ever. This got picked up on the front page of Reddit, was posted on HiddenLA’s Facebook page then premiered last October at DIY Days LA. He now has a scholarship fund set up. Three cheers for Caine, Nirvan and Caine’s dad for allowing this imaginative young mind to flourish.
