Huston We Have A Problem

A computer crash at Monsterosity headquarters has caused company wide panic and havoc this week. In an article only a few weeks ago Monsterositys president spoke of their plans for upgrading their technology and equipment, it seems they left it to late.

In a press conference this morning Monsterosity President and CEO of Custom Empire said that with his Flight to Australia only two weeks away this disaster couldn't have happened at a worse time and the prospects of recovery and being safely up and running any time soon doesn't look good. He went on to say that this has also had a devastating effect on Custom Empire the parent company... thusly impacting the Custom Empire blog.


"I'm here to let you know that we have retreated to regroup and work out our next strategy the company president said with a brave hand raised in reassurance, "so that we can come back in force next year, I will of course do everything in my power to get everything back up ASAP" He said.


At this point it is believed the crash was caused by sabotage possibly by someone in within the Monsterosity organization.


"We have our suspicions but no hard and fast proof as of yet" the company president said.
The photo above was taken by the company security cameras at the time of the incident. If you look closely you can see a suspicious looking person in the back ground, "unfortunately the photo is not clear enough for us to identify who this person is".


"If you know this person or have any information regarding the heinous act of sabotage please come forward. Your help is greatly appreciated". the company president said.

Design Festa Vol 32. Nijisuke

The next artist in our DF series is Nijisuke. This guys painting were fantastic. Unfortunately I went to Design Festa with a very tight budget and set plans for said budget so I wasn’t able to buy from this talented guy... something i still regret. But not to worry, cos, we have all his contact details. I cant stress enough how cool these painting really were, they were full of great vibrant colour as well as texture and pattern... the photos really don’t do them justice. On top of being a great artist he was a super cool dude. In fact if you a look at my photos and or his blog, and you find something you like, love, cant live without, send me an email an I’ll do what I can to help, you know with the Japanese and stuff like that.... that’s how much I liked this guy and his art.

Anyway you can check out more of his art at the link below its a japanese blog but dont worry just go down the left side to the menu list and start clicking around...

How to Paint Oxidized Metal Effect

 

Oxidized or rusted paint effects are very big with some toy customizing artists like Sket 1 as well as Chris Rose and Southern Drawl.



There are many different ways these effects can be achieved and this video shows you just one way... at some point in the future I hope to get a few tutorials of this kind of paint work on vinyl toys but for now here is one I found on YouTube... enjoy!


Ps: if you try this out on vinyl let us know, tell us what you think and how it went.

Design Festa Vol. 32

So a couple weeks ago I said Id get back to you lovely folks about my time at design festa... unfortunately I have ad the flu so haven’t been doing much more than laying around feeling pathetically sorry for myself... looking like a bad cold and flu commercial. Feel free to have a chuckle I think its funny myself.


Any who I also did a lot of thinking on how I wanted to deliver the info I collected from the super cool artists at DF and decided that the best thing for me to do was to break it up into sections (artists) so you folks would have the time to pop on over to their various websites and also so I didn’t have to write a great big huge long post... everybody wins; love that!

 The other thing I need to tell ya is that Im not gonna give you a generalized rundown of DF so if you would like that kinda info I think the best blog to pop on over to is Kaiju Korna. Andy has a great blog with a great run down on DF as well as being totally on top of things as far as toy events and stuff happening in Tokyo.

So with out any further babble here’s the beginning of a long list of Cool artists I met at DF VOL 32.

 Vista Lab.

Ok so I told you a little lie I didnt actually get to meet the artist behind this display because they werent there when i was but it was a cool display with a custom Munny and some very coll resin cast toys. The have a great website and a lot of it is in English. You can check them out here...
