NA LIFE
THE MISSING POST

Yo, PINK and I have been busier than bees makin’ babies! It’s been pretty nonstop at work since PINK and I have fallen back into the reality of 2009. No more Dasher and Prancer, St. Nicks packed it up and the Snowman melted in front of the New Year baby. A few more months and we get to do it all over again. I realize we’ve sorta missed our “FALL/WINTER 08″ Tshirt release date, but like I said from the very beginning…I ain’t releasing shit if I don’t think it’s good and ready. Plus, it’s still Winter in NY. PINK says that I’m overly critical and to some extent that’s the truth. I’m so critical that at times it seems detrimental to my health. I get these freak anxiety type attacks that mature into full blown late-night insomnia when I get an artistic itch in my brain. Those artistic itches range from redo’s of work related ad campaigns, post-production work on my photos and of course the countless number of hours I’ve spent mashing all my creative influences into NA™. It may surprise some of you when I say “That’s not the hardest part.” The hardest part for me is…trying to make it all look easy.

Anyways, things are moving along. We received a little package courtesy of the folks in Hong Kong about a month ago. Neither myself nor PINK got a chance to post this news because of how crazy things got towards the end of 2008. I’m sharing this with you guys just to let you know we ain’t playin’:

Package
Finally arrived after waiting about 3 weeks. To be honest with you all we didn’t realize this was coming from China because we ordered through a US company.

Open, Open
I let PINK open it because she had put in all the work getting this ordered and making sure things went smoothly.

BOMB!?
Let me guess, you’re thinking what we were thinking…BOMB?!

TADA!
KABOOM! Not really an explosion, but the package had some bomb-ass NA property. DATS WASSUP!

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

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…

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.
