Lucky Bag Figures

Here are a couple of my 2008 Lucky Bag figures. Thanks to everyone who ordered one. I hope everyone is happy with what they received!

Happy New Year From Gargamel

It's a custom in Japan to send out new year's cards to everyone you know. This includes family, relatives, friends, customers, clients, and so on. This year, Gargamel sent their card in this plastic box, along with a cute soft vinyl mouse figure!

Lucky Bags Sold Out

Cometdebris Lucky Bags Sold Out! Thanks to everyone who requested one! And sorry to those who could not get one. I hope to increase my numbers with some future releases (startng with Killer, coming soon). Happy New Year!

Happy Year Of The Rat!

Happy New Year! It's now the year of the rat, and Kitaro Chaya had some special Lucky Bags for the occasion. These went on sale at midnight, and three sizes were available. We got a large (limited to only 6!), and a medium. Lots of Kitaro and Nezumi Otoko (Rat Boy) items inside, including a big pillow, figures, notepad, a cool tote bag, much more. It was a pretty cold night (one degree celsius), but good fun.

Cometdebris Lucky Bags

Cometdebris Hand Painted Lucky Bags. These contain either a mini or a standard size hand painted soft vinyl figure. Available to members of my mailing list a little after midnight, January 1st, Japan time.

New Killers!

Bwana + Koji = Killer 2 Pack. Bwana and I are each doing our own version of Killer, which will be sold as a set. Both will be animal inspired, and will include a special header card. I'll be sending out order information to members of my mailing list at the end of January.

Happy Holidays!

Time Off

The holidays are coming, and that means the start of my 10 day vacation. The New Year is the biggest holiday here in Japan, and while most people will be returning home to celebrate with their families, I'll be here at home. In addition to painting and a few late night movies, I'll be catching up on some reading and watching DVDs, some old and some new. A lot of relaxing, a lot of late nights, coffee and tea, waking up late, sleep, and rest. Maybe a walk in the park and a visit to Thrash Out to countdown the new year too. OK, here we go...

Gargamel Year-End Party (Part 2)

2007 proved to be an awesome year for Gargamel, with a very successful showing at the San Diego Comic Con, collaboration projects with Tim Biskup, Bwana Spoons, and Martin Ontiveros, not to mention clear standard Zagoran, mini airplane and tank Zagoran with helmet, the Pocket Kaiju series, clear glow vinyl, more. And if you thought that was cool, just wait until next year. Keep on rockin' Gargamel!

Gargamel Year-End Party (Part 1)

This year, Gargamel celebrated the year-end on a "yakatabune" or a Japanese style dinner cruise boat. You can see some yakatabune in the photo in my previous Thursday Night Odaiba post. The boat took us down the Sumida River to Tokyo Bay, where we anchored and hung out for a while. The night view was pretty spectacular, a lot of bridges along the river were lit up, as well as Tokyo Tower, the Rainbow Bridge, and Odaiba. Lots of food, lots of drink, and lots of fun.
