On 25, Feb 2010 | One Comment | In Updates | By aw177
Jesse Hernandez host a great show called Vinyl Addiction which details the vinyl toy/art lifestyle. I’m a huge fan of Jesse’s work and love this show – only wish I had the channels to watch this on! However, there is a short clip of episode 6 up here: Vinyl Addiction Episode 6 and within 19-20 seconds into the clip, you get a shot of my custom I.W.G. figure, “Rhinotech”! Very exciting!
“Rhinotech” can still be purchased on my store! AW177 Store

Most Important Project I Can Never Finish Part 2!
On 05, Feb 2010 | No Comments | In Updates | By aw177
Ok from my first post of the ‘most important project I can never finish’, that happens to be my personal website. However, I think most people these days just have blogs and use that as their website; I’ve been really picky about mine and just never finished it and revised it over and over till my head spun! For about 5 years I’ve had my domain at www.AW177.com and still can’t put one up – until now. I’m just about almost done w/ mine and tried to make it less complicated and put up more of my work. I will still use this blog for more news updates, and use my website to display my work. I hope to get it done by the launch of Chinese New Year – how dope would that be, launching my website on the Year of the Tiger, my year? Crossing my fingers!
My site was done purely in Flash – yes I know there are lots of people who don’t like Flash and don’t see why a site has to be designed in Flash, but to me, I’ve always loved Flash and guess I just wanted to see if I can create a whole site in it. I know you won’t be able to view my site on an iPhone or Touch or iPad or what not, but you can always view my blog on those devices! I also do all my illustrations through Flash; just feel more comfortable using it. I’ll probably need to learn Illustrator one day, maybe I’ll take a class on it just to force myself to learn it!

New Custom for Chinese New Year 2010 Full Reveal!
On 01, Feb 2010 | No Comments | In Artwork, Mad*L | By aw177
Ok I have finally revealed the full pics of my latest custom Mad*L up on my Flickr at AW177 Flickr and will be up for sale at my Big Cartel store AW177 Store on Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 11am EST! Price will probably be $250, as this one was a bit complicated to do and took some time and a lot of effort on my part to make it as perfect as I can! Hope you all like it and thank you in advance to the person who hopefully will buy it!
“Year of the Tiger” represents determination, aggressiveness, drive and craving for success!
