MW XXL
this week, a commission print of my early Maori Warrior character, original for a t-shirt design. i was really excited about this, look how big my baby has grown!!! like all parents, i was a little worried at the beginning.... the original pink on the shirt was a fluorescent color, which i thought might be impossible to replicate with giclee printer, luckily we're able to get a very close hot pink in 2nd color test, and i boost up the brightness of green a little bit to give that...
G for Ganbare!

PRO DESIGN : 111
two weeks ago, i got a phone call from anne of santos cafe, congratulating about seeing my figure in the "magazine", i thought it was ACCLAIM magazine, which had a tiny photo of my PANDARA, but she sure sounded way more exciting than a little photo on a magazine should be, my curiosity grows as the conversation goes, towards the end of chat, i just have to ask "what magazine are you talking about?" yes, i sounded like an idiot on the phone the whole time haha.... and i FINALLY obtained my...
This and That…. Disaster Edition
