I've been a BAAAAAAAAD blogger!
Lately it seems like I can't find enough time to fit in all the things I have to and want to do, which includes spending the time to update my blog regularly. Life has gotten in the way for the past 6-7 months, and I am going to try and remedy that situation starting today! You might notice a change to the blog design- I decided to start fresh and update the look of things.
Since I last posted, I vended at my first Emerald Con, which was a blast and a feast for the eyes! Such people watching! Thanks to everyone who came out and stopped by the booth, we had a terrific time seeing you all. Here's a quick look at our booth set-up:

It was great seeing our good friends Daniel and Dawna over at Steam Crow for the weekend, as well as meeting some new friends, like Rick and Jeff at the ZOMs booth across from us.
After Emerald Con, I was really excited to be accepted into the summer Urban Craft Uprising craft show at the Seattle Exhibition Hall in July, where I had my own booth for the very first time! It was a change from all the shared booth shows I've done in the past, and it was so much fun. A bit nerve-racking, but fun. I met some great people there, and saw some repeat customers from Emerald Con, which was awesome.

What have I been doing since July, you ask? Well, besides taking a few weeks off for family vacations, I created a piece for the 10th anniversary of Ice Bat for this year's UglyCon art show at Giant Robot in Los Angeles:
and have been doing a bunch of commissioned work, like creating mini hanging versions of my Franchesca and Franklin Frankenstein:

In the meantime, you can always find me over on instagram, where I upload pics of my progress every day or so. See you next week!

Being a 21st century parent, I guess I am not too surprised all 3 of my kids know how to use a smartphone for some purpose or purposes. Our 9 year old recently got our old iPhone 5, so it seems like sometimes she is buried into it sharing things with her friends. Our 2… [read more]

Psycho-Pass: Kogami Shinya Figure by Megahouse
From the anime series “Psycho-Pass” comes the G.E.M. Series Kogami Shinya non-scale PVC Figure by Megahouse. The Kogami Shinya figure stands approximately 24 cm tall and he comes with swappable arms. You can pose him pointing his Dominator with his outstretched right hand or with the Dominator in his left hand hanging down by his side while he brings a cigarette to his mouth with his right hand. Personally, I prefer the cigarette pose, but they both look pretty cool. The Kogami Shinya figure by Megahouse retails for ¥9,250 and will ship in January 2015.
