G for Ganbare!

Sunday, April 10th, 2011

this is a letter G i did for an international charity T-shirt design for Japan, project organized by Lemon One, a master of graphical lettering! 12 artists are involved in the project, each artist took a letter from GANBARE NIPPON! (がんばれ 日本), and design a custom letter for it!

guess what?! PANDARA is rocking for Japan, this is not an ordinary death metal he normally plays, can you tell which tune he is rocking? :-)

from the letters i’ve peeked so far, this tee is looking super cute, i can’t wait to see it all put together! more updates to come…. at the mean time you can find out ways to help Japan here!

New Prints In Store!

Friday, February 11th, 2011

my new stencil print “Maori Warrior”, now showing at Wootini Gallery, also available from my online store! limited to 10 prints only! :)

valentine’s toy mentioned earlier has been canceled, a last minute work came up, and i don’t rush my toys, so i’m saving this toy idea for next year, however i’ve started working on a brand new toy character, it’s gonna be one hell of a monster!! \(ouo)/

enjoy your weekend & happy valentine’s day

This and That… 111

Friday, January 28th, 2011

first piece in the new year is a revisit of a design i did last year, adding more depth to it, i decide to design a kowhaiwhai pattern as backdrop, its more challenging than i expected, sometimes simple things can be trickier than you think, just like open pickle jars…

new prints are getting ready, im signing & numbering them before send out to Chicago for a group show next week! i’ll have the exhibition details up very soon…

yesterday i was shooting photos/videos of some newly finished custom toys(yes, more than one!), it was so much fun customizing them, lots of new ideas pop up during the process, i think we have a new character joining Hollow Threat family very soon! >:)

i’ll post some W.I.P as soon as i sort out the stack of photos!! by the way, i’ve added some new works to portfolio page, reorganized a little, in an order that make more sense……..to me! :P

p.s. an idea of valentine edition toy just came up to me today, what can it be?! 2011.1

Inked Souls 3

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

my piece for Inked Souls 3 exhibition at Art Whino this saturday! it’s been years since i paint on a canvas, its fun and frustrating at the same time, after years of making “paper dioramas”, it was all so controlled and precised, now i feel like doing something new, something more expressive, and this is the first attempt! visually may not be how i pictured in mind, but its definitely a good progress of getting back to painting, experimented with many techniques i’ve never done before! (…i think i’m in process of developing new painting style)

Hollow Threat paintinf for Inked Souls 3

Inked Souls 3 – Saturday, Dec 18th, 2010, from 7pm – midnight.

Hollow Threat Custom Sneakers W.I.P

Friday, December 10th, 2010

This is my first custom kicks, a Hollow Threat bats all over design that interacts with the supporting painting(you’ll see at the show, or later on my portfolio),  i’ve been digging the nu-pattern-art lately, especially those with character involved, so i thought my Hollow Threat bats(death bats? skull bats?) would look cool as a repetitive pattern on sneakers, the idea came from the bat flying transition scene in my toy videos! (i wish i could just copy/paste like i did in the animation).

my custom sneaker will exhibit at Art Whino gallery from December 18th 2010 to January 21st 2011, many artists i respected are on-board, i’m sure this will be one awesome show for all you sneaker heads!  check out more info + my processes below! ;)
