A little 3D...
Here's a little piece of my robot project. This guy is part of one of my robot's mode themes or "Skins" as I've dubbed them. I have no where near the skill level in 3D as my good friend Sketchbot aka Steve Talkowski, or Yoshii, but I'm working on my chops every chance I get. My goal is that before the end of the year I can draw up a character and pump it out in sexy 3D super fast.

DCTO Chibi Charms...

Hey Guys, This is a long overdue update on the SOOP projects.

A lot of people have been asking about the small versions of DCTO and when they are coming out. Well... The DCTO "Chibi Charms" are on there way. I've teamed up with Adfunture to produce the 8cm/3inch pieces. Below is a photo of the prototype in front of the OG version.

This project will be a collaboration. I fired off 9 emails and got 9 "I'm downs with the Chibi project" back. The 10 luck colour artist series line is: Dacosta! (me), Cameron, MAD, Charuca, Touma, leo Espinosa, Julie West, Itokin Park, Jesse Hernandez and Bulpa.

Each designer worked their special brand of magic and I can't to see them out there.

Back shortly with another update...

Dreams to Dreams

I want to thank all the artists that did a piece for the Dreams to Dreams show. The range of styles was amazing. The opening reception was a big success with over 450+ people coming through to see the show. The positive response to the DCTO form by the Japanese community showed me that I had accomplished my goal, which was to take the traditional Daru

ma shape and respectfully add a modern flare.

BIG thanks to JANM for welcoming the Dreams to Dreams idea with open hearts.

Thanks to Maria Kwong and all the staff volunteers that worked tirelessly to put the displays together. 

Also big shouts to Daruma Asset Management, Inc. which sponsored the show.

Here are some pix of the pieces:
