AW177 Artsprojekt “Circuit Death 3D” T-Shirt
On 09, Sep 2010 | In Products | By aw177
For those that don’t know, I was invited to join Artsprojekt a year ago, and I finally went ahead and ordered one of my designed t-shirts to wear at New York Comic Con 2010. I decided to get a plain white T w/ my “Circuit Death 3D” design on it. It came in and I think Artsprojekt did a good job w/ it. Check it out:

AW177 “Koi Blossom” Jouwe!
Ok finally got a chance to snap a few pics of my custom “Koi Blossom” Jouwe figure for the Jouwe group custom show at Toy Art Gallery (TAG) located at 737 Seward St. #1, Los Angeles, CA 90038 (www.toyartgallery.com).
Opening reception: October 1, 7-10pm, runs from October 1 – 29, 2010.
The Jouwe figure is great and I didn’t want to modify the form of it; I wanted to enhance it and give it a more traditional Asian pattern. The Jouwe form looks like a tough yet cute little rhino guy, so wanted to give it a more ‘love’ feel to it – hence why I chose the Koi.
AW177 MiniCards & Postcard!
On 07, Sep 2010 | In Products | By aw177
Decided to order some minicards as my business card to give out to peeps who want my contact info, as well as create a small piece of art that people can put up or whatever to enjoy. I decided to get some minicards done, half the size of a regular business card, since they are pretty cool, unique and different than other business cards out there!

Time for a Break…!
On 31, Jul 2010 | In Updates | By aw177
Hey all,
I noticed lately that I’ve been moody and been rushing my custom making process and end up making a ton of mistakes. It left me exhausted and frustrated, and really made me want to stop. I know I need to concentrate more on graphical/digital design and art, but since NYCC is coming up, I know I need to push out some customs (more details on that later). But rushing it is not really helping and just making it more difficult. Plus w/ a pregnant wife and baby coming, it is really getting more tough on me.
Hence why I took a break away from my customs for a week already, and going to do it again for another week. I will start fresh again by the second week of August – need to take a mini-vacation. Once it’s over, I’ll be in full swing again and hopefully do things right and do them well!
So peace out for now, will be back soon!
Long Time No Updates!
On 12, Jul 2010 | In Updates | By aw177
Hey all,
Long time no updates – been busy after my last few posts and been working on computer art more than custom/toy art! I am working on a few new customs now in time for New York Comic Con – have some news about that! So stay tuned!

“Dragon vs. Phoenix” Custom Artoyz Elements Earth Completed!
If you’ve been following along w/ my WIP pics for the past week or so, then you know that I was working on a custom Artoyz Elements Earth figure. My design, “Dragon vs. Phoenix” was complex and detailed, but so worth it after it was all finished! Props to my very patient client for waiting!!! Hope you like it! Go to my Flickr account for larger pics!
Work in Progress (WIP) Pics – Artoyz Elements Earth Part 6!
Part 6 already? Lol, sorry for the late (again) post, but finally have a chance to post up part 6 of my WIP pics of Dragon vs. Phoenix. I hope you enjoyed this so far, and this custom is pretty much almost done!
Last time I left off w/ dragon side being somewhat done. There are a few more steps from this point, as I want the entire figure to be yellow colored. To do that, I have to color in parts that are white to yellow. Sounds simple, but tough since you have to be careful not to overlap the lines and if you do, go back over them w/ color again.
Work in Progress (WIP) Pics – Artoyz Elements Earth Part 5!
Friday afternoon update – most people are probably waiting till 5pm to run out the door for the weekend, and here I am updating my blog w/ my latest WIP pics! Sorry for the late update, but better late than never. Here we go…
Work in Progress (WIP) Pics – Artoyz Elements Earth Part 4!
Sorry, after a nice weekend, I am a bit late w/ part 4 of of my WIP Artoyz Elements Earth, Dragon vs. Phoenix. Last time we left off, I was outlining in black the rest of the Phoenix. I completed that side of the figure and will keep the final look of a secret till later! Right now, I concentrated on the Dragon side of the figure; I taped up another piece of paper + paper towel to keep the Phoenix side safe while I work. The paper towel is to prevent any unnecessary bumps or scraps against the Phoenix side.
