NA LIFE
YOU GOT 5 SECONDS

mammoth
Got into L.A. late Friday night. Flew into LAX and upon landing couldn’t recall the last time PINK and I drove down. Driving is just so time consuming and exhausting. The rising gas prices and our old ’99 Honda Civic haven’t exactly made us eager to do the 800+ mile back and forth. If there is anything that I miss about the I-5 NorCal to SoCal commute is that early morning sunrise that we catch a glimpse of when we come over the Grapevine. Can’t really beat that when it comes to rewards after 5-6 hours in the driver’s seat.

On Saturday we had to take care of some “bid-ness” down in Long Beach. Sounds official huh? Nothing heavy, but still important enough to fall under the category of “bid-ness”. Didn’t take up too much of the morning which was a good thing because I promised my cousin we would come through and hopefully catch some of his kids soccer games and just shoot the shit for awhile. Haven’t seen them since the “777 wedding” so it was good. Ever since my cousin moved down to Huntington Beach it’s been pretty difficult to catch up with him and his family. People are always just sooooOO damn busy. He’s got three kids now and for a minute there every time we did get a chance to see him it would be only after he and his wife had another kid. He’s done pretty well for himself, he takes care of “bid-ness”, the family and makes money. WORD.

Anyways, he took us to eat at this place called the LOFT. It was a small eatery that served some “BOMB-ASS” hawaiian. It was really cool just catching up and watching the kids run around and make noise. They grow up so fast. Next thing you know they’ll be off and married starting their own families and we’ll be rockin’ canes and wheelchairs, but yo!, we’ll be flossin’ canes with diamonds and wheelchairs with 32″ DUBS! Mwahaha…it was a good day.

More images to come….

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 [...]

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.
