Bwana and Martin Arrive!

I spent the day setting up Thrash out in preparation for the show. Lots of rearranging and cleaning up. I brought a good number of figures, taking up one case. Bwana and Martin arrived later in the evening and set up their work as well. Everything is looking amazing, Bwana and Martin brought some really nice pieces. After set up, we took a break at an okonomiyaki restaurant. We're all very tired right now, but very excited about tomorrow's event. Hope to see you there!

Tokoji Seijin Sighting

Tokoji Seijin is now making his way towards Thrash Out, along with a few friends. He's running a little late but should arrive in time for the opening of Tentacles, Horns, and Scales on Saturday.

Paint, Thinner, and Brushes

Been preparing for the Tentacles, Horns, and Scales show like crazy recently. Painting and working on stuff every day, all night. At the same time, I'm doing a big house cleaning as Bwana and Martin will be staying here during part of their stay. Can't wait until Friday when everything is done and ready. Things should get exciting then, we have a lot planned!

Terrific Tokyo Toy Tour (with Tim)!

The day started at Thrash Out where Kiyoka, Tim, and I talked toys a bit. We then head over to Ichiban Boshi, a nearby soft vinyl shop, and Nakano Broadway. We spent a good two hours in Nakano, mostly checking out the Mandarake stores, when we accidentally bumped into Joe Ledbetter, who was in town for his Creature Comforts show at Stitch Tokyo. From there, we all head over to Akihabara and the new Mandarake store which just opened. The day ended with a visit to the 101 Tokyo Contemporary Arts Fair, where Tim was displaying some of his work at the Iguapop Gallery booth. A pretty long, but very exciting day. Our feet were all pretty tired.

More of Tokoji Seijin

Here are a few more picture of the Tokoji Seijin test shot. Can't get enough of him. I'm really looking forward to doing some colors.

DJ Alphabeast

Got to hang out with and hear DJ Alphabeast (Tim Biskup) at the 101 Tokyo Art Fair after party last night. Along with his funky beats, he also brought along some video which he had playing on the big screen. Among some if the images in the video were toys, kaiju, artwork, photos, even Booska and Dragamel were in there. Really cool stuff.

Sakura & Tokoji

Inokashira Park in Kichijoji is one of the more popular places to view cherry blossoms in Tokyo. It's usually packed with party people, eating, drinking, and making a lot of noise under the trees.
