Munny: Gaara!

Vinyl Requiem posted this Gaara custom munny last week and I forgot to share him. He is the awesomeness! Check the packaging after the jump. The artist, Adrian Tam, is responsible for a couple of the works that have made their way onto various sites, including; Ryu, Akuma and Sam Fisher customs. According to his interview with Vinyl Requiem, you can contact him about comissions. I have to say that his customs are great, but the packaging just adds an extra something to the piece.

Got Cardboard?

A very long time ago I posted some Space Invaders wall decals released by Blik. They were/are awesome. Well, today I found what looked like more wall decals, and instead ended up being something we could all try our very best to do at home. Artist, who I have assumed is “Pyron” has created some great Mario World and Pacman characters using cardboard. He/She [??] cuts the board to display the inner layer, and then paints the necessary areas. Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

So, who’s up for arts-and-crafts? I’m sure we can all try this at home and possibly step it up a notch. Visit Jangan Tension’s blog to see more images and works.

As I had previously updated, Friday was Nakanari and Dave “Outta My Mind” Quiles’ Techno Babble show at MPH. Though I didn’t arrive early, since I had to go to a meeting, I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to a steady flow of visitors coming in and out of the shop.

The Umbrella Umbrella, huh?

My Mr. who’s a long time Resident Evil fan has shown me an upcoming release for Resident Evil paraphernalia. It only makes sense that they’re finally coming out with a RE Umbrella Corp. umbrella. I love it, though, I wish the edges were trimmed in black, it’ll definitely do. I don’t think he’s buying it, because he loses everything. But hopefully I will, I get overprotective about ALL my stuff. Hope it’s good quality, for approx. $30 it better be. You can pre-order it over at [gkworld]

Now Reading Plugin

I thought I would point out. I have a category specified for “books/music” but I’m noticing that I don’t ever really get the chance to write reviews about the books/comics I’m reading. So I’ve found a plugin that’s going to make my life easier. It builds a library for me. Yay!

 

It’s very simple actually. I input the title or ISBN code and it finds the product page on Amazon, so that when you look through my library, you can click the link and purchase it yourself if you’re interested. Additionally, it keeps track of status, so it’ll show you what I’m reading, what I plan to read, and what I’ve read. It allows me to write a very short description of the book, or piece I’m reading. At the moment, I’ve been engrossed in The Walking Dead graphic novels, actually, I’ve been engrossed in 3 graphic novels. You can check the titles if you’d like.

 

When I get a chance I’m going to be updating the book list for all the books I’ve been reading. This doesn’t include school books though, unless I really liked them– school reading is very different from my own independent reading. I hope I can interest you in some of the titles I’m into.

The Kid Robot’s mini munny competition ended long ago, but I can’t help and be dazzled by the designs. I wanted to post Audrey II (Little Shop of Horrors) way back when the competition was taking place, but I kept running into so many designs it was hard to pick the order. But here it is. Feed me!! Anyone up for giving up some blood? :???:

Unfortunately, there’s no additional information about the artist. :neutral:

Mad for MadL Pillows

Mad just posted a sneak peak on his flickr of what seems to be some MadL pillows. So far I like the middle design and the blue on the right hand side. I’m not sure I like the one on the left, it kind of looks like a luchador and I’m simply not a fan. There’s no additional information on release, price, or who’s going to be distributing them. I’ll let ya know of any updates.

I found this awesome Zelda Tri-Force charm, and then it got sold out. So I’ll show it to you after the jump so you don’t instantly fall in love. This Lon-Lon charm however, is very cute. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing to have some around your neck when you’re in need of energy, no? If you want to purchase the cute milk bottle, you can buy if from [tiffanybell] for a mere $3.50. Now read on to see the other kick ass, but sadly already sold charm.

Important Quick Note

Ladies and Gentlemen:

A while ago I read an article about Wordpress themes and where you’re downloading them from. I’ve always picked my themes from wordpress.net, but the last couple of themes I found on another site. It turns out the themes I got from there had some malicious coding embedded in it. I have deleted it, but still don’t feel comfortable. I’ve contacted the creator to either send me their original theme, but if she doesn’t message me back I will have to change the look again. I apologize for any inconveniences, but this is for both my protection and yours.

:sad:

-Saki

p.s. If you’re a wordpress newb and don’t know anything about coding, ONLY download theme from themes.wordpress.net
