Some things from this week.





Had to do it... I was given a couple old Kewpies, and grabbed a Monster to attempt the headswap. Here he/it is!





And these guys go up this Friday - a little Waniphant Collab with Shane Haddy (Hints and Spices):

Someone is having fun

glitterific oliphantery!

You know it . And it's going to get better!



Studio Uamou - March 22nd

^^^^^Yeah! March 22nd is my Birthday.

Sweet! Come to Japan! What better way to celebrate than a little toy show in TOKYO!

My b-day is March 9th - and all I want is whatever PK is bringing to Design Festa in May. I can be patient!

The arrival of a new Guardian Daemon CK in the house brought out the Rampage fan club.



Amazing work Jon, thank you so much!

Great picture Man! Thanks for sharing! I think those allsorts liquorice fellahs are still one of my favorites

In recent news - this Friday I'll be putting a bunch of animal sofubi in my shop - I keep buys these things, and finally decided to paint a handful of them (so I can get more )

Boris on-off. A bit of internal and externa spray - then loads of brush work (the gouache kind):



Birdies!


Kame Collection Turtles:



Also did some Kikkake bears and elephants - they are in the thread in Japan Toys

The turtles are great.

Great stuff!!

Thanks Matty and Kevin! It was fun to take a break from all the stuff I HAVE TO get done, and work on some other (completely different) figures I'd been looking forward to painting!

Yeah, those turtles are super cute. <<< Meant as a compliment.

Thanks man! Yeah, I really liked them when I saw them at Design Festa in November, but I didn't get any. Then they were right next to me at Superfestival, and I HAD to grab a few! Fun to paint! I hope to do more later this spring

Silly me. I was F5'ing your bigcartel last night and goin WTF!? then I realized it was still Thursday.

LOL... i was in the same boat. sill me, trying to do time conversions instead of just reading the email...

That Grody Kewpie was fantastically executed!
Love it!

Thanks for all the comments folks! This batch o' stuff is all up for your toy buying pleasure . I wondered why the sight got so many hits yesterday!



Wait 'till you see the counterpart

Kewpie-headed Grody!?!
CAN'T WAIT!!!

Show at Studio Uamou is coming up next week. Haven't posted much about it - yet - but I've been SUPER busy. I'm heading to Tokyo on Monday - with around 100+ sofubi and resin pieces in tow (and lots of other stuff). Can't wait!



And here's one reason why there will be quite so many figures - a run of 30 X-ray Uamous!

So... any new kewpistic grodiness to share?

Not quite yet. Soon though . I do have some teasers in my instagram (jmrampage), or here:

The show at Studio Uamou is wrapping up tomorrow. Uamous are all gone, along with most of the resin! Here's a lot of the stuff






and some Peter Kato Turtle Tetsujins that I gave the Rampage treatment:

Where do the Kewpie bodies come from? I love those xray figs.

Anyhow, I'm thinking the Uamou's aren't to many SBer's thing... No matter. Here's some other stuff from the recent month or so. The Dots Monster/Kewpie (Matt - bodies are from junk shops here in Japan) and Amedasu are for thing in NYC on the 21st (there will probably also be some (gasp) platform toys at that thing )








I painted a TON of stuff for Sufesu. I'll get pics up next week.

I'm a sucker for polka dots, so I love the paint treatment with those!
