Zuzu Tees Now Has Lobster (Man)!
Yay! Stephen of Zuzu Tees is now offering Lobster Man shirts! Not only does he carry my Lobster apparel, he has many more awesome designs from some great artist. Check out his site Etsy site:...
The Flea Library
The last few flea market excursions, I've been rummaging through piles of old library books trying to find some of the treasures from my past. For just a few quarters I've been able to find some pieces of the past. Things that I've forget and things I've wanted to...
Lobster Man
Since I am an unemployed graphic artist, I have more time to work on personal projects. Not a lot of time, job hunting eats up most of my time, but I'm working on a t-shirt design for a fellow designer. I'm really enamored by vintage freak show posters and I wanted to...
Adventurers 2.0
Now that I've had a bit of time to sit on this piece, I came to the conclusion I wasn't happy with it. It needed a bit of work. It was too 'grungy', the typography was close, but not close enough and I just felt it needed a few more tweaks. I had a bit of free time...
ADVENTURER TIME!
Here's a poster I've been working on now and then. I was influenced by the song 'Adventure' by Be Your Own Pet, the show Adventure Time and my two kids. They love to go on 'adventures' in the woods behind our house. And we do have a scary troll in the woods, but...
Truckin’ J-Pop, Shonen Knife Really Needs to do a Song About Dekotora Truckers
I finally finished this little beast. It is tiny. I guess it's a good size, but for my taste, it's really small. It would be awesome to use for an HO scale train layout. I guess HO is 1/64, isn't it? I could look that up, but I'd rather not do that at the moment. You...
Throw Some More Paint on the Rancor
Since I was home with two sick kids, I managed to not only squeeze in a bit of Old Republic crusading (when the updated servers let me on that is), but I also managed to throw some more paint on the Rancor. It's starting to really get fleshed out. I'm surprised how...
Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars…
I've always been a Star Wars fan, saw the movies, owned the toys, read the novels, played the games... But my interest in the franchise took a big nose dive after the prequels. I didn't lose total interest, but any visits I made to the franchise felt like a...
Go Go GO!
I've been in love with the Mach 5 since I was a kid. I would watch an episode of Speed Racer and search the basement for parts to build my own car. You would think, since my dad is a mechanic, we would have more than enough. Noooooo. There was never enough scrap lying...
Flea Market finds
What is this thing? I found this kit at the Quakertown Farmers Market. A guy is shutting down his hobby stand and is clearing out all of his models and he had this treasure for $6! It would be stupid not to buy it. But I have no freakin' clue what it is and what...
What’s on the workbench?
Yeah... The wok bench is cluttered. Besides these three kits, I still have the Rancor (the blood thirsty one from an earlier update) and I just started priming and prepping Darth Vaders' Tie fighter. Too many models, too little time. It's not my fault. They are just...
Some More Frog
Making his way from the work bench to the shelf, Sgt. Keroro! Sarge is a Bandai kit that features Sarge, in pirate uniform, riding a go-kart. The go-kart is transform able and it combines with four other kits (sold separately) to form a giant robot pirate ship. Like...
Gorig Finds His Special Purpose
Finally, a new menace to civilization can be introduced to the public! I've been back and forth on this project for months. After many false starts and a lot of indecisiveness, I can call this image done. Sort of.... This project started out as a simple, a b-movie...
Rancor: First Blood. Part one
It has been awhile since I've put out any update, but I'm still building. I haven't put anything on the finished shelf, but I have added considerably to the 'crap I need to finish before I die' pile. I'm planning on doing a better job of documenting my builds and...
Down the Obscure Glittering Chrome Path
Now that I've turned my obscure model building obsession into a hobby, I'm taking it into even deeper realms of the obscure. This for example is my latest eBay purchase, a 1/60 Aoshima Dekotora Truck. I've wanted one of these for the past 1.5 years. Ever since I ran...
The Post where I Refuse to Make A Reference to the Batman TV Show and Compare Myself to Bruce Vilanch (Or The Post with the Really Long Title That Turns Off All Bat-Fans & Makes an Obscure Reference to A Comedy Writer)
I refuse. It's been done so many times, it's just not funny anymore. It's been nearly 50 years of it and it needs to come to an end. Not saying the show isn't funny or worth watching, I am just feeling really lazy and I'll just screw it up anyway. Since I've admitted...
Cruising for Gamilas
As if you haven't noticed; I am becoming obsessed with Japanese anime, pop culture, music and toys. It's been a slowly building up over the years and it continues to grow now that I have kids that are getting into what goes on half a world away. If you remember Star...
Battered and Bruised
Ah... The sense of accomplishment from finishing a project. It feels so good to finish something, no? Just last weekend I finished up three model kits and it's nice to have them out of the way. Now I can start working on some of the others I have sitting on the shelf....
