This is my 3rd year being a part of Gallery Hanahou’s Luvable & Hugable show in New York. This guy is hand silkscreened. Show opens December 3rd – view the flyer below for more info. Jenny Harada will be holding a workshop on Saturday December 19th at Gallery Hanahou to create Wee Peppermint Beast Ornaments. The workshop time will be announced soon. To sign up or for more information, please email Gallery Hanahou at info@galleryhanahou.com.

Here is a teeny tiny peek of the new character Pepper I’ve been working on. The sculpt is finished, just needs to be molded. He’s over 9″ tall so everyone cross your fingers I don’t run into any troubles in production. I’ll post full pics once the first cast is done. I’m hoping for a late November / early December release.

Also in the works is the new mini figure (click here to look at the prototype). He’s sitting in a mold as I’m typing this. His cap and hair have been re-sculpted, and I think there will be 2 color variants available for first release. He might be available for sale as soon as next week. Sign up for the toy release updates newsletter (you can do it on this page) to be notified as soon as I know!

More photos and information coming reaaal soon!

Gorgeously perfect resin figures from Arbito. Combo of glow in the dark and clear resins, and not to mention flawless airbrush work. So bummed I don’t have the money to buy toys lately!

Alexis Taylor (singer of Hot Chip) can do no wrong in my eyes. I love his stripped down solo album Rubbed Out.

I turned 25 yesterday. Who wants cake?
