1. ONE WEEK AGO – i received a parcel from china! it’s Mechanical Demon by Momo Workshop!! knowing that it’s also a hand cast resin figure, i was really excited to see others resin toy, it’s a solid piece(feels solid too hehe, damn heavy :P), the tongue came in separate piece, and they even did the prime coating for me, awesome job team momo! what also impressed me is the packaging, they were able to cut the styrofoam into the shape, fits perfectly!! i know it’s common, but for limied number hand made product, how do they do it?!

…gonna start this custom toy project very soon!

2. TWO WEEKS AGO – finally got a RxH Fortune Cat! been looking for this cat in NZ for ages, no luck! thanks to PodgyPanda who got me this from SDCC! yay! it’s actually a clear one, but it lit up with a red LED, looks amazing at night!! 真 :D

3. A YEAR AGO – PANDARA was born in september 2009, so much love and support from friends, toy sites & blogs, thank you all! I’ve made this Anniversary wallpaper for you all! download available from GOODIES page :-)

4. NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE – recently dug out a piece of treasure from my garage, bought 2nd hand few years back, thought it was a junk, never really fire it up, until a recent conversation with an audiophile relative…

my current set up, a vintage LUXMAN amp from 1981, the year i was born, and today’s KECES DAC on top, loving the sound…

…imagine this design in the 80s, pretty funky huh?!

Thank you Anthony from Poster Cause for this Hollow Threat sample, I know it’s a tough job to print such fluorescent green on paper, going back and forth with printer, trying to make the color as close as possible! (yes its still off hehe…)

This piece was first designed for Faesthetic magazine earlier, and it was such a rush, i remember having 3 days to finish 4 pages of artwork, and 2 sleepless nights, now look back, there are many details could be refined, PANDARA wasn’t even looking right, so I took this opportunity to fix this artwork, some tweaking, re-shaping and fully re-rendered textures(click through to see some zoom-in images)! It’s now a 15 x 11 inches poster, print on high quality 100# stock, and limited to 25 prints ONLY!

BUY THIS POSTER & SAVE OUR PLANET! ;-)
