I mentioned last week that we’ve reached our birthday! For those who have only recently become fans of IHCS, we turned three years old on May 28th. IHCS began as a private blog titled “sakiwrotewhat.” When myspace was still a shiny new networking tool, I discovered how much I loved blogging and sharing every thought [...]

Friday May 21st, was the opening night of Phoneticontrol’s Thought Processor: NYC Series. Eric [known as Phoneticontrol], has been on a mission to get a multitude of artists from different regions to put their own spin on his thought processor figure. I believe the NYC show is the third show of it’s kind, and I’m [...]

Last week, while eating dinner with the Pimp, I realized she had a Shawnimals’ zipper charm hanging off her bookbag. When I’d first spotted the zipper charms, I thought they were cool, but also had the wrong impression about them. So, I trekked over to My Plastic Heart, and took some photos of the ones [...]

One of the best parts of Toy Street was getting a sneak peek of The Art Hustle’s Artist Trading Cards. Simeon Lipman is the man with the brilliant idea to merge old-school collecting, with a new-school edge. The concept is simple– trading cards that not only feature some of our favorite artists, but their art [...]

Since we’re on the subject of customs– I’m quite delighted to be able to share (and show off) my friend J*ryu’s custom Marshalls for Wondercon! I’ve been fortunate enough to get teeny sneak peeks of his work in progress and I almost believed him when he said the picture he sent me was his lunch [...]

This post has been sitting in my drafts since March 17th, when Map-Map first unveiled his plans for these 3″ dunnies. Although I’ve sucked at not posting– I guess waiting didn’t result in terrible news, because since I’ve spotted his dunny army, Map-Map has managed to finish a good portion of them and they are [...]

Although the news has been shared on several toy site– many of my friends and up-and-coming artists that I’m a fan of are going to be a part of Toy2R’s upcoming Skelanimal’s series and I felt the need to share and support. Oh, yet another long arse sentence, sorry about that. According to the press [...]

The world has a funny way of pointing me in the right direction. I logged on super early instead of going back to bed because I wanted to make sure that the featured post I finished at 3am was free of spelling and grammar mistakes– and I woke up to the news of this incredible [...]

I realize I haven’t posted about the upcoming Sketchbot Custom Show taking place this Friday, but one look at the countdown located on Sketchbot.tv‘s site made me nervous that time was running out to remind people about making sure they got their butt’s down to MyPlasticHeart to see the pieces in person. I’d been holding [...]

I want to start the post by sharing a story about my wordpress app. I pretty much downloaded the app as soon as it was published. The idea of blogging on the go was too good to pass up, so I had to have it. The app itself was buggy and therefore I neglected it [...]

Last week, I shared I’d be attending New York-Tokyo and Frank’s Chop Shop party in honor of Shin Tanaka. The art of paper toys (not origami– although I also appreciate that form of art too) have been a quiet hobby of mine for a while now– and it’s always intrigued me how artists come up [...]

I’ve got to give it to Jeremy Madl, I don’t always dig his style– but my heart melts anytime a new MadL hits the market. His platform is one of my favorite platforms ever. To me, it doesn’t matter if it’s blank of whether its adorned with someone else’s art (or his own for that [...]

I’ve avoided posting about this, mostly because the upcoming O-No Sushi Bloody Edition release at Rivet Gallery will be limited to 150 pieces, and well– I really need to have it. Sadly though, I am of guilty conscious and therefore, cannot withhold the information from the general public. So, here it is. This Tuesday (tomorrow) [...]

Keep reading to check out all 16 designs, along with some [...]

Thanks to Grain Edit (a great design and illustration blog), I discovered Hey Studio and their Calendar they produced in December, which featured a new character for every day of the month. The site is in Spanish, but if you can’t read it, the images are pretty easy to understand or Google Translate does a [...]
