It's hard to draw when everyone is watching you.

Hello everyone! Been busy finishing up (er.. starting ;) some custom toys for the Kidrobot NYC store reopening this Thursday and 'Down the Bunny Hole' at Rivet in a week.. Photos of those next week!

In the meantime I wanted to drop a quick Giver toy update! I had hoped to be shipping .. well.. months ago, but realistically about a week ago. However, being anal, I decided I was unhappy with one bit so I ended up delaying things for some paint tweaks. The good news is that we are almost done and ready to go! Here are a few recent photos from the factory just because those sort of things are fun...


Seeing green?


So.. many... heads..


Finding the perfect shade of red.. it's the middle one!

I'll be at NY ComicCon with some of my friends from Dumbrella at booth #2731! Just wanted to give a heads up on some of the more exciting things I'll have there:

Along with some other fun things!

Can't make it to NYCC? Fear not, the book and print will be hitting retailers in May.

I'm working on some custom toys for upcoming shows. That usually involves some x-acto knives. X-acto knives usually involve some bleeding. This might slow me down a bit...

Today I rebuilt the ghetto spray booth setup I have in my studio. It's basically an artograph spray booth base (consisting of an exhaust fan and 3 layers of filters), attached to a duct which i then attached to a one-way vent going out the window.

But I think the best part is the giant spray hood with door! Oh cardboard, is there anything you can't do?

Many thanks to Kelly for the sticker.

Paul Robertson finally finished his epic pixelly video-game battle insanity movie "Kings of Power 4 Billion %"

It is huge, 12 minutes long, and insanely awesome. This guy should be screening in modern art museums.

EPILEPSY WARNING. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE PRONE TO SEIZURES.

Later Arthur, have a good trip! I remember really liking Childhood's End, I'll have to re-read that one some day.

It's been a busy week over for me, so busy I wasn't really able to post much, so here is a little recap below the cut.
