  Talented artist and customizer, Lou Pimentel went to work on a “Bic Buddy“ figure and gave it the likeness of the late Notorious B.I.G.  The 8” custom toy was dubbed “Big Poppa” and is a very fitting production considering that the memory of the fallen Hip-Hop heavyweight was just remembered by us all this past Tuesday.  The artful homage was completed just weeks before the upcoming “Bic Buddy Custom Show” which takes place March 27th at the Crewest Gallery in Los Angeles, CA.  The show highlights an array of artists whom have meticulously drawn their own visions on the new 8” DIY Bic Buddy toy manufactured by Bic Plastics.  New York art and toy enthusiasts will get a chance to catch the event on April 9th at Zakka in Brooklyn.
