Kaiju Kollision!
So this is what all that painting was for, an art show with Josh at Super 7 in San Francisco. I will have a bunch of soft vinyl figures on display (close to 50 pieces) in all sizes, as well as an exclusive handpainted Gargamel figure. Here's the description from the post card: Super7 Store presents a Kaiju Kollision by two artists separated by the Pacific, featuring custom painted vinyl figures by Koji Harmon of Tokyo and paintings by Joshua Herbolsheimer of San Francisco. Monsters from the East collide with monsters from the East, living in the West. An exclusive Super7 x Gargamel toy/print set will be available during this show. The set will feature a standard size soft vinyl figure painted by Koji Harmon and a set of 4 prints drawn by Joshua Herbolsheimer. Stay tuned for more information...

Done For Now
After a full week of non-stop painting, I've decided to take a short break (Thursday). I got the bulk of my project done, but was able to get some nice vinyl figures today that I'd like to add to the lot. Maybe I'll start those on Friday. Then this weekend, I need to get to work on another big paint project...

Junk Hunting!
Today was Bwana's last day in Japan. We hung out with Mitsuwa and Koji (another Koji) in and around Ozaku and Fussa on the Ome Line. The area was full of used, recycled, thrift, and junk shops selling everything you can think of. Electronics, furniture, housewares, clothes, toys, more. Some stores were nice and organized, while others were completely crazy. I think we probably visited 10 shops, in addition to an Italian restaurant (for lunch), a huge home and garden center, and a Mr. Donut (for dinner). By evening, we were all tired out and done with shopping.

Bwana's Easter Egg Hunt
Easter came early in Tokyo this year. Bwana stayed a couple of nights at my house during the Killer Dragons From The West show, and upon leaving I found some hidden surprises: a Sponge Bob Easter Egg filled with candy and stickers, a chocolate bunny named Baby Binks, and an original painting. I'm super stoked on the painting because it features a Microman figure with skull head, plus he's saying "ohayo gozaimasu" (good morning). Yes!

Killer Dragons Invade Tokyo
Spent the entire day with the Killer Dragons Tim and Bwana and Gargamel Kiyoka and Chanmen. We started off in Odaiba at Big Site for the Tokyo Toy Festival. After spending a good couple of hours shopping for toys, everyone ended up with a large bag or two filled with goodies. Next was the Taro Okamoto Museum in Kawasaki City. The Taro Museum was a lot of fun, and in a great location surrounded by a small forest. Taro's paintings and sculptures were odd, colorful, and amazing. From there we went to Nakano Broadway for some more toy shopping. Bwana picked up a nice vintage green King Walder figure, and shared some super hot takoyaki. The night ended in Koenji with some beer, ramune, okonomiyaki, and yakisoba. A very long, but very fun-filled day. Good night.

Killer Dragons!
Killer Dragons From The West opened at about 2:30 yesterday to a decent crowd of fans and toy resellers. Tim and Bwana signed for a while, making a lot of people very happy, and making a bunch of new fans as well. The clear pink Mini Dragamel and Killer set, and Tim's Big Pollard figures sold pretty quickly. If you're interested, the show will continue until Tuesday, so you can still stop by and see their artwork, and maybe even pick up a toy, print, t-shirt, or original artwork.

Killer Dragons From The West!
Spent the evening hanging out and preparing for "Killer Dragons From The West" at Thrash Out. Should be a lot of fun. There will be some cool artwork on display, Tim and Bwana will be there to sign stuff, and of course, exclusive toys! Be sure to stop by tomorrow (Saturday) if you're in town.
