The first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008(STCC) was here from 27th to 29th June 2008. This was also the first international event of its kind in Southeast Asia to showcase the latest pop-culture trends in design, toys, comics, animation and gaming. I went down there on Saturday afternoon and snapped tons of photos from Tokidoki by Simone Legno and others e.g Devilrobots, Nintendo, BANDAI, Hasbro, Wizards of the Coast, Medicom Toy, Toumart, Madcap and more.

When I reached the entrance of the convention hall, I was first greeted by an Artist Graffiti Wall which was the collaborative artwork by artists which include my all time favorite Simone Legno(Tokidoki), Pete Fowler, Gary Erskine, Mori Chack, Kika and Nada, Devilrobots, Touma and more!

I am so excited when I stumble upon these creative inspiration videos featuring Tokidoki designer Simone Legno. There are 3 free videos on site and I especially like the one where “Lynda sits down with Simone”, talking about his background, how he started sketching and the branding of Tokidoki, advices for people who want to get into design industry and more. The next video will bring you into Simone’s Sketchbook where he sketches one of his famous character "Sandy". I am really tempted to signup at Lynda.com in order to view the rest of the online exclusive videos as they are only available for the paying subscribers.
