golem toy black on black write-up on vinylpulse

My friend Jack at Vinylpulse was kind enough to do a little write-up and review of the black on black version. Thanks man, I appreciate it.

He took a few pictures also. I really like this one.

When you buy the Golem, there will be an insert [...]

I woke up yesterday to find people getting stoked for the february release of the Golem toy. Yay. There will be two colorways available in february, the original one (400) and a black on black (200). When I get some more details on where to get them, I’ll post the links on [...]

I don’t mean to be an asian stereotype, but I love rice.

If I love rice, then it’s natural to say that doing research to find an exceptional rice cooker would be the next step. A little over a year ago I was wondering around Chinatown with my friend and former roommate Chris Lee. [...]

ufo china: the dropa stones

The Dropa (also known as Dropas, Drok-pa or Dzopa) are, according to certain controversial writers, a race of dwarf-like extraterrestrials who landed near the Chinese-Tibetan border some twelve thousand years ago. Skeptics note, however, a number of problems with the case (and a lack of corroborative evidence), which offers significant doubt as to the reality [...]

ningyo gosho finish

Here’s my cad from all angles. You can go to the here to see higher-res images from all angles. He’s a friendly little spidery-guy. Haha.

street fighter 4

Ok, soooo, since I’m in a martial arts type of mood, I think it would only be fitting to bring up one of the raddest examples that set the pinnacle and standard for fighting games: Street Fighter. Yes, that’s right, after a long wait in the series, they are coming out with [...]

master of the flying guillotine vs. one-armed boxer

The blind master of the flying guillotine faces the one-armed boxer!

I wish I had a flying guillotine and furry eyebrows. Maybe when I grow up I’ll look this awesome.

stranger than fiction

I hadn’t gotten to seeing this movie at the theaters, and watched it just recently on DVD. This is one of Will Ferrell’s more interesting roles, playing as Harold Crick, who is less caricatured, more human, and more reserved in performance. Ana Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal) acts as romantic interest of Harold and [...]

getting ready for work

Here’s a new piece I recently for the PFOM project. I think what they said is that it will be on the insert card that comes along with my toy design.

I haven’t had a break all weekend, working on several new projects at once. I think I’m gonna try and finish up and [...]

mars “woman” discovered

I just woke up this morning and found this article to be really interesting. I have been following the progress of the two mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity since they’ve landed in 2004. I wonder if they will be able to investigate this odd shape closer?

Very cool….

An image of a mysterious shape on [...]

half life series

The Half Life series is one of my favorite video games of all time, so I figure that I must blog about it at least once on the site.

For starters, the story is genius. It’s easy to fabricate a reality with complexities blaring at an even intensity across the board. What makes this [...]

ningyo gosho progress…and spiders too

So here’s about where I’m at with my PFOM gosho design right now. I’m still fleshing out elements of the different viewpoints and tweaking details, but you get the picture by looking at this. My next post will be the gosho from all angles.

Just to remind you, the original gosho shape looks like this:

I [...]

crow and kitten are friends!!

This is just amazing!

Who would’ve thought that a crow and kitten could be companions and rely on one another.

old drawing from 1986

Hehehe. So…. I said I was going to post up a picture from my childhood sketchbook after going home, so here it is.

The title of the piece is: CIRCUS.

There is a clown in the middle, a happy lion to the right, and a stuntman on the left. What I like about looking at old sketches [...]

spider goats and glowing rhesus monkeys

You might not believe this if you aren’t staying informed on the subject, but they are splicing the genetics of animals far and wide. Though it’s humorous to consider, a nervous grin simultaneously finds its way across my face. The goats are being engineered in hopes of mass-producing a “biosteel” from its udders; a utilitarian [...]
