NA LIFE
GET WIDE. BE EAZY.

Coupa Cafe

Been staying up pretty late the last couple of days. A lot has changed on the Newborn Apple website. In fact, I believe the look of the site has changed two or three times since I upgraded to WordPress 2.7. It’s been a lot of trial and error getting functions to work properly. Like I mentioned before this is all pretty new to me, but I’ve learned a number of things since starting the blog. The sites wider and less narrow (thanks to JUICE). All it takes is one person to mention something that could be better and there I go losing sleep to make it happen. Take a look around, click on links, leave comments if you feel so inclined (shout out to MIA!), and let me know if things don’t seem to be working properly.

Work has been pretty mellow this week. Actually things have been pretty slow since the Easter/Spring Break. It usually gets that way when it gets close to any holiday and it takes about another week after everyone gets back for things to pick up again. It’s all good though, I could use a little break at least in the sense of work overload. Something really cool did happen for me. A logo I designed for HP was chosen and will be used on their airport travel safe bags. They are calling their bags EZ CHECK, but essentially an airport travel safe bag (in this case a laptop bag) is one that doesn’t require you to pull out your laptop and place it in a separate bin. If you travel a lot, then you know how much of a hassle that is. I don’t get why the scan machines can’t just do this, but I guess these special bags will make travel a little easier…too bad I own a MAC. Anyways, if anyone rocks this bag then you can tell that person “I know the guy that designed that logo…” Click on the +/- in the bar and take a look at the finalized logo.

KIDROBOT MUNNYWORLD MEGACONTEST’S “MOST INNOVATIVE”

KIDROBOT MUNNYWORLD MEGACONTEST’S “MOST INNOVATIVE”

I know I’m a little late posting this considering the fact that it’s been about a week since I received word that my MunnyWorld MegaContest entry, ELEVATE, was the overall winner in the “Most Innovative” category. It’s not “Best of Show” but I can’t hate on the overall winner, his work was dope and really [...]

NA STUDIO UPDATE : KIDROBOT MUNNYWORLD MEGACONTEST ENTRY

As mentioned in our previous post I have updated the NA Studio section of our website with some work in progress images of the YoshiToshi or Flying Demon figure in our ELEVATE Munnyworld Megacontest entry. As you will see, the original Munny it started out as took some heavy butchering to finesse it into the shape I needed…

I think that the hardest part about creating this Munny is that in the end I have to give it away. I consider that my love hate relationship with myself. I’m not too worried about it though because PROJECT RUN LIKE MIKE will have a happy home…


N.A. STUDIO – PROJECT RLM: PRIMER & PINHOLES

N.A. STUDIO – PROJECT RLM: PRIMER & PINHOLES

I’m pretty happy with the sculpting and sanding of the pieces I added to the munny thus far, so I’m moving on to the first stage of primer. I use this first stage to expose the pinholes that are difficult to see in the finished clay. See the detailed images after the jump…

Added additional sculpey pieces to shape out the character wardrobe a bit. Some designers just paint this stuff on and that’s cool too. I think that adding a slight bit of dimension whether it’s in the face, the hair or clothing gives it that extra “COOL FACTOR” and we all love cool. More images after the jump…

I got asked to break open a new box of Sculpey and start creating a custom munny that should be completed this week. It’s a fairly simple custom and I’m pretty meticulous about getting edges crisp and plane surfaces smooth so a couple hits with the sandpaper and this should be good for primer. I’ll post more images as I move along…

THE BP OIL DISASTER

So the BP screw up still isn’t fixed and it doesn’t seem like anyone has a f*ckin’ clue how to stop the environmental disaster.
