NA LIFE
FINALIZING SOME DESIGNS

SEE WHATS COMING
SEE WHATS COMING

I’ve been trying to finish up some designs to send to the printers before the end of the month. Needless to say, time management has been a minor issue. Usually I get moving on things and they just have a way of working out and meeting deadlines, but this time around it may just be a personal choice. I’ve sorta overlooked the finalizing of designs in lieu of maintaining site updates and functionality, which although it’s been productive on the blog side, has sidetracked me a bit. I think the site itself is at a good place in terms of design, at least for now. I’m counting on JUICE, PINK and BUBBLEZ to pick up the slack as I slow down a bit on the site updating and focus more on the tshirt designs. Sounds pretty fair, right?

Anyways, a couple things are happening. I’m finishing shirts 3 and 4 and once that’s done and printed I’m opening up shop. I know, “Finally”, but like I’ve said from the beginning, this process takes some time and yo, there’s a lot of shit happening in the background. We’re not trying to blow-up overnight, because that isn’t a realistic goal. The industry is saturated with all kinds of t-shirt start-ups, some good and some really, really bad. We’re not trying to get lost in that mix. We’re staying low, flying under the radar and trying to make some cool shit. We’re just waiting for all the dust to settle because there is still a ton of things to learn and get focused on.

I mentioned in a previous post that the second shirt was done and you all know what that means…SNEAK. I had planned on getting that all done before we went down to Vegas, but I guess preparation for a trip and a much needed break got in the way. I brought some of the new shirts down to Vegas and I guess BADONKEY KONG couldn’t wait. She opened up the fresh plastic and rocked her shirt on day 2 of the trip. I also got a chance to work up a couple different colorways for the fitteds JUICE has been working up. I didn’t get a chance to photograph them before BABY GODZILLA and BADONKEY KONG snagged them up and took them back to SoCAL. Yeah, I know, I suck. Hopefully they don’t get wrecked up before I see them again at the end of the month. If I get the urge and the time then I’m droppin’ a SNEAK on them too.

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…

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

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.
