July 23, 2008Get Pervasive With MODman by Gary Baseman for MIMOBOT!
When you take a good look at the new MODman MIMOBOT® you can instantly recognize that a character so oddly twisted and yet undeniably adorable could only have come from the imagination of the original genius of Pervasive Art, Mr. Gary Baseman! And what better place for MODman to make his infectious debut than at this summer's ultimate explosion of comic-culture and pop-art, the San Diego Comic Convention! Lending his artistic talent to the MIMOBOT Artist Series, Mr. Baseman has created a character that perfectly transfers his ingeniously iconic style onto the equally iconic MIMOBOT form! Being released in a limited run of just 2,000 units, the disturbing yet lovable little creature that is the MODman MIMOBOT® is ready to be your data storing and mind-twisting companion while you help to infect the world around you with the ultra-fashionable art of Gary Baseman. And of course he'll be bringing with him a load of Baseman exclusives in the form of our mimoDeskTM suite of icons, wallpapers and screensavers, as well as the hotly anticipated 3rd issue of our exclusive mimoZineTM digital magazine! MODman is available in person first at the San Diego Comic Convention, which kicks off this evening with their Preview Night! What's more, if you happen to be at SDCC and looking to meet the mind behind the mayhem, the man himself, Gary Baseman, will be signing at our booth #4938 on Friday, July 25th from 5pm - 6pm and Saturday, July 26th from 2pm - 4pm. This is your chance to score your very own MODman MIMOBOT® and meet this modern-day artistic trailblazer in person! For those of us not fortunate enough to be in attendance, you can get your MODman MIMOBOT® through the Mimoco online store! While you're there why not have a gander at some of our way-cool Basemanbags by HARVEY, the perfect complement to your new MODman MIMOBOT®!
