Hot One Inch Action Show

Last night was my first time down to the Hot One Inch Action button show (6th Ever show). Always good when I get a chance to hang out with the talented Atomos. Glad I was able to submit a piece for the show and it was excepted.

These are the pieces I liked the most out of the 50 artists in the show (personal taste). There were as many “bangers” as I would have liked, but maybe next year. It might be cool to have more in the range of 150 artist in a show at once although I’m sure it would be a logistical nightmare. ^__^

The Little Book of Kawaii

After a year of waiting the first of 2 books (...well actually the second, but the first one isn't out yet) with some of my characters and toy designs just landed on my doorstep yesterday. Titled: The little book of kawaii, is 400 page and jammed with some of the hottest character and toy designers from around the world. Put together by Shawn Wright and He Li, it's the fresh injection of sugary cuteness you need for your collection.

ISBN 978-7-5381-5775-8

Back soon with more details.

TACO BELL IN DEEP HOT SAUCE!

There's trouble brewing in the Urban Vinyl world. An image (Right) posted on August 31 of the new promotional toys from TACO BELL has ignited the vinyl toy community online. A clear example of mainstream trying to jump on the Urban Vinyl scene without even an attempt toward originality. Response image posted by Kidrobot (Left). Check out the details on the links and follow on Twitter.

The passing of a friend...

Leo Obstbaum "passed away unexpectedly" on Thursday night at his home.

My condolences to the Obstbaum family. Leo was a great person to have known personally. I've had some great conversations with Leo about characters and life. He will be missed.

TRON Legacy

No more blurred vision. The official Trailer has finally been released. Seriously, I'm all light headed now and can barely stand the idea of the long wait till this film is released *.*

Click on the 'Watch in HD+' top right corner... trust me.
