Gary Baseman brought many of his characters to life with costumed live models like Skeleton Girl, Hickey Bat Girl, Bubble Girl and also Toby and little devil “Hot Cha Cha Cha” initially created for “La Noche de la Fusion” Festival. Click on the images to enlarge

It was surreal to see so many artists under one roof.
Many UK artists also joined in like D*Face, Nick Walker, Ian Francis, Lucas Price to name a few.

Last but not least, Dita von Teese entertained the guests with her infamous burlesque routine . ( Photos of the performance were not allowed)

On Saturday 15 May Gary Baseman conducted a tour of the exhibition and the participating artists were available to greet and sign.
