SOB-03-BX-TYPE
bwana spoons
What is the nonsense above in that title? SOB-03-BX-TYPE.
Suns Of Brodarr, third edition, box type figure set. Makes more sense now right. At least a little right, in particular if you have SOB-01-BX-TYPE, or SOB-02-BX-TYPE. SOB-01 was a boxed Private Hooligan release, SOB-02 was a boxed resin Jeff release.
Those first two releases were so rad, why isn't everything boxed?
Well I go back and forth on this topic. I don't think I want 1000 of the same boxes. Meaning if I want somebody else to make my box, I would need to order a minimum of 500, prolly 1000. And if i make them all by hand like the previous two boxed releases, and this upcoming one i think i would go crazy. It takes a little more brain power and time than I am capable of.
So why bother at all then?
Because I love a beautiful boxed toy. So much so that I have collected several boxed vintage pieces over the years, just based on the box design. I love them!
Hope you guys will dig how this latest boxed piece will turn out. SOB-03-BX-TYPE

Brodarrfest update
bwana spoons
Precious gems are on their way from all over the states, and even this piece of Magic all the way from the land down under. A Drizzz family Portrait by Mel Stringer. Fuckin' Stoked!
Now Brodarrfest U.S. is less than a week away. I remember the giddy feeling that this was all going to be really fun when I started drawing Jeff, and then his backstory started coming into focus. I had just a few early supporters that figured they would dive in at the time I put Jeff into production, and it sorta stayed that way for a bit. Jeff officially debuted at SDCC 2013 and I remember lots of folks not familiar with my toys gravitating toward him, but not yet knowing what to do with Jeff. And we zoom into the future to SDCC 2014 post kickstarter, but still the first public release of Quiller, Lonny, Kamisama, and Private Hooligan. The response was Awesome! Now there was a whole crew of characters to interact with each other, play, and love, and fight. The most awesome news about that first public release of the new gang was that there was no one character that everybody had to have. The surprise response was how many people dug Private Hooligan, a dude that was/is very real to me, but had just been sprung out there for people to dig or not dig.
Here we are June 2015, 4 new characters in the works. One of those, Drizzleshits, who is the third core brother along with Jeff, and Lonny, who will make his public debut at Brodarrfest U.S. this saturday at FOE Gallery in Northampton MA. this is also the first time that I get to have multiple peoples play with the gang, doing paintings, and customs, and I have that giddy feeling again.
I can feeeel Brodarrfest fever building

I finished up two short runs for Brodarrfest. Maybe my favs so far. All are very glowy. I'll try to snap a few nightshots soon. Now i am putting my focus on framing some of my 2-D works. I bought a new tablesaw and feel ready to rip. Still a lot of work to do. Need to finish up the Ramenshop, and a lot of work to do on customs. I have new stickers at the printer right now.
Have you seen some of the other artists creations for this event at FOE... the first ones are trickling out there. They are looking sooo good. I can't wait to see them all together in person.
Cop A Squat at Brodarrfest U.S.

Cop A Squat toys has done two awesome paintings for the Brodarrfest show.
Do you know Copasquat Toys? Copasquat is an artist based out of North Carolina. He's a top doggy Silk screener and artist. And if you are following the sofubi toy scene you may recognize or better yet, have one of his Semi Kerosia toys. I know he has something else up his sleeve now too.
Brodarrfest U.S. at FOE this June
bwana spoons
Nearly 30 artists from around the U.S. and one Canadian, and an Aussie do their take on the Suns Of Brodarr. It's so exciting to see the first images come in, and when some of us get to see them in person. I think, at least my mind will have melt marks. A few of the artists involved are even taking a Brodarr and making their own 3-D vision of them.
I am working on some customs, a few diarama bits for the next episode, and there will be an exclusive Drizzleshits at the show.
Hope to see you there East Coast.

Some of you may already know this about me. I live and breathe character design. Lately almost every morning I wake up obsessing about Suns Of Bordarr. Where can I take this? What can I do with it? And the big question sometimes... which character to make next into sofubi?
That last question is always rattling around in my brain. So many Characters I want to bring to life in vinyl form. I go back and forth about it on a daily basis. I did have an aha moment at the beginning of this week though. One last push for SDCC, and I knew what it would be.
SO I started sculpting and wondering if I could pull it off. At first no, but I kept widdling away at these forms and it really started to take some good shapes. Now I think I am on the home stretch with the sculpt, and I am shooting to send it off to Japan by mid next week. No idea if we can get this done in time for SDCC, always closer than I think. But I'll do my best to make it happen.
My vision. Almost everytime a Sun of Brodarr looses a limb in battle or dumbfuckery. It grows back. But the old limb/appendage just turns into deadmeat. Well, Lonny started collecting these "parts" and preserving them. Now he is hard at work in his laboratory plotting and scheming how to bring them back.
