パチモンサミット ２０１０ 冬 Patchworked monsters Summit 2010 Winter
Today was Pachimon Summit, possibly one of the most bizarre events of the Soft Vinyl calendar. For those not in the know, Patchworked Monster Summit is an underground (in more than one sense of the word) talk show focussing on bootleg kaiju toys and other ephemera. It’s held in the Loft +1, a basement bar in Shinjuku. 3 Japanese gents sit up on the stage showing off their bootleg discoveries on a big screen while the audience listens, eats cabbage and drinks beer. Interspacing the chat are costumed fights, YouTube videos (Poly Station 3?!?), old records and TV shows.
After the chat show a is toy lottery where, for the lucky, all that beer, gyoza and nachos turns into a bonanza of exclusive unpainted and one-off toys. Otaku Heaven or Flipper’s delight, depending on the recipient.
When the lottery’s over the tables are swept away, the chairs are folded, and the Loft+1 is transformed into a basement Pachi Kaiju Market. No Godzilla, Darth Vader or Puricure 5 here, just 100% original goods from an eclectic mix of modern toy makers.
Then that’s it, show’s over, time to go home!
The Grappler is Here!
The Grappler is coming!
Been busy working on new header card art. If things go according to plan the grappler should be up in the shop within the week.
Also, leftovers of the NYCC Asterian Parasitoid are up and available on the Monster Worship site. Limited Edition of 5, painted in Monster Worship’s signature colours.
Galaxy Villains
My most productive sketching time seems to be between Chigasaki and Fujisawa on the Tokaido line, with aliens drawn on receipts and on the bottom of crossword puzzles. The sketches are usually finished waaay before the crosswords are. Here are a few of those little rushed drawings, showing the next push in the Galaxy People line: the villains
.
I’m half-finished sculpting the Space Pirate at the top, so a full reveal shouldn’t be too far off.
Okay, first post on this new blog. This is the place to come to find out about all things ‘Galaxy People’. I’ll be throwing up pictures here of new releases, work in progress, character backgrounds, drawings, and inspiration. All this hopefully on a semi-regular basis!
