hands on clutter magazine

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

yay! finally got my hands on clutter 16!! to be honest, this is my first clutter magazine, sadly NZ magazine shops don’t carry them(and many other great art zines), they could have one less women’s weekly on shelf?

issue 16 covers all aspect of today’s designer toy, vinyl, 3d printing, japanese soft vinyl and i shared some resin toy process/tips in my interview! my thanks to the very talented nick for the interview and making my pages all pretty & colorful…hehe, clutter sure is one of the better designed zine! (so is their website)

if you want to get into toy making, or simply love toys, this is a must have isuue! clutter available world-wide, find your nearest stockist here!

OVERDUE!

Friday, January 27th, 2012

here is an overdue announcement(released december 2k11) of OVERDUE and OVERSTAYER, projects by NZ hip hop artist King Kapisi! OVERDUE is a quarterly hip hop, culture magazine slash overstayer look book available in print format as well as digital, you can read it online here!

….and the above is my contribution to OVERSTAYER’s latest collection, the idea came from an afternoon of chitchat with Kaps, about toys, art and his projects, most of you may not know that he is a HUGE toy collector! so its pretty easy for me to design a tee for him, we went for a toy concept with Samoa flavor, turning him into a toy-like figure, and referencing my Maori Warrior toy, the result = Lil’ Kaps.

you can BUY THIS TEE from plantation store now! :-)

MW on Groove Guide

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

MW All Black Edition art toy featured on GROOVE GUIDE issue 383! (with a freakish looking cover…hehe)

you can find MW under the Groove Gear section, however there’s a misprint, RRP $160 suppose to be in USD, the missing ‘USD’ confused some local collectors, MW art toy is $200 NZD or $160 USD + shipping! sorry for the confusion! if you’ve bought from Santos, you did NOT pay more! :-)

by the way, show at Santos(114-116 Ponsonby Rd, Auckland) has extended till this sunday(oct 9), your last chance to check out MW and other artworks!!

New Hollow Threat Ident!

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

say bye-bye to old Hollow Threat intro, a dark atmospheric logo animation that doesn’t really express what HT is, all HT design came from positive thinking, even though some devilish graphics might confuse you, its exact what HT is all about, We Are Just A Hollow Threat! so here’s the first look of new Hollow Threat identity video….(you’ll see it over and over again in the future hehe)

p.s. new toy is shaping up nicely, expect some preview next week..!?
