NA LIFE
BACK FROM VEGAS

Vegas

Went to Vegas this past weekend. It was pretty hot. I didn’t gamble too much. I’m not big on giving my money away. I figure if a slot machine can jut eat my $20 within 5 minutes that it isn’t a good sign. That’s approximately $240/hr at that rate and that’s just 25cent slots…hahahaha. (Yeah, not a big time gambler at all.) Then again, on the chance that i get lucky and manage to at least double my money, I usually call it a night and just grab a beer and watch other people play. I think the most I’ve ever won was $300 or something. The fastest I ever lost money was 2 hands of blackjack dealt to me at a loss of $20. This all happened within a minute. That was wack (I still hold VADER and SHOE responsible for that.)

I was there with PINK and her family. JUICE and Jen live out there so they came through a couple of the nights and hung out for a bit. On Saturday night we watched the David Foster Show/Concert which was pretty entertaining. I didn’t realize how many chart topping music hits this guy has written. I found myself saying “i know that song” to almost everything he played. I don’t know if this is a permanent act or just an annual concert thing, but if you are ever in Vegas and get a chance to see this show, I doubt you’ll be dissapointed.

Got back to the bay on Sunday and headed up to my parents house for a Mother’s Day gathering. We had lots of food, sweets, beer, the playoffs and special announcements. So, if you weren’t there then you’ll just find out what you missed the next time we see you all. By the time PINK and I got home last night we were knocked out. We woke up this morning and didn’t realize how late it already was. Needless to say, things are still kinda wack, even with my cup of coffee things haven’t straightened out (in my mind at least). It was a pretty long weekend, so expect things (category updates, sneaks) to get back on track throughout the week.

Later,
GREEDY

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…

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.
