NA LIFE
HE GOT CHARLIE-BROWNED!

So I was reading the Yahoo! frontpage when I found this interesting / funny / messed up story:

Florida teen finds rocks in Nintendo DS box
Jodi Wykle knew her son would be thrilled when she gave him a new Nintendo DS for his birthday. Instead, he was rocked. According to WTSP-TV, the confused teen opened up his gift only to find bunch of stones and a rolled up Chinese newspaper in place of the popular handheld.

More info: All I Got Was A Rock

Yo, I don’t think I’ve ever been Charlie-Browned. I didn’t know what to think when I read that story. I frickin’ laughed my ass off and then felt bad, but started laughing again. It’s just wrecked up. What’s even stupider is their (WalMart’s) admission that someone had already returned this Special “ROCK & Chinese Newspaper” Edition Nintendo DS a couple of weeks ago and the damn thing still made it onto the sales floor again. You know what’s even more messed up, is that if I were some underpaid employee at WalMart, I’d probably place it back on the sales floor…again. Hahahahahaha…

Anyways, thanks to you all for stopping by and taking a look at SNEAK 3. I’ll probably be pulling it down by the end of the week. I hope you all thought it was worth the wait. I mentioned prior to the SNEAK 3 drop that the printers had finalized our second shirt and guess what…they did. I guess I’ll be getting that together fairly soon. Third shirt will be going to the printers by the end of this week also. So, this means we’ll be pretty busy.

Later,
GREEDY

BTW: I got into a discussion with JUICE this week regarding promo material and giveaway ideas as well as the FITTED caps he’s been doing prototype work on. We may be dropping a special sneak for that too. So stay tuned…

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…

N.A. STUDIO – PROJECT RLM: PAINT & FINISH

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…

N.A. STUDIO – PROJECT RLM (IMAGE UPDATE)

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…

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.
