I finished a couple of Gundams. Is it Gundams or just Gundam? I don’t know. I finished the one that I painted all black.     I was able to find a new model and was able to finish that one up too. I actually had a hard time with it. I cut one thing off the sprue in the wrong place so I had to glue it on. I also somehow messed up a leg connector so he appears to have one leg that’s longer than the other.     Still turned out pretty well. After my frustration with this I’m not sure if I’ll keep doing them. I don’t know yet. I have been eyeing a few online so maybe I’ll make one more.

  I have to say I am pretty stoked. We have a t-shirt printer at work and while we were making some progress learning how it worked, our results were disappointing. We just tried some new pre-treated shirts and that changed everything. With this development I really started trying to figure out what I wanted to put on a shirt. I came up with this…     It is a simple yet interesting design I did a while ago. It was inspired by Ukiyo-e art so I went to Google translate and threw “knit” and “dog” in the bottom corner. I know it probably actually translates as “umbilical” “fur animal” but honestly I’m not that worried about it. If there are any Japanese readers out there I would appreciate a better translation.     The picture kind stinks but it actually turned out pretty great. I know it is good because I...

    I found a podcast that I just loved. It was right up my alley. It is called Video Palace and it was produced by Shudder. Alot like Polybius, it focused on an urban legend. A legend of white VHS tapes. Tapes that when viewed changed the viewer, perhaps cursing them.     I don’t know if white tapes are a real urban legend, but I kind of doubt it. The podcast does a good job of making them seem like they are a real thing though. Like something old collectors look for and covet. The podcast is limited to only 10 episodes that are all under 30 minutes. The story is well paced with each episode leaving you wanting more. It gets pretty creepy too. I couldn’t listen to it while running because there were some pretty effective jump-scares. The upside was I knocked out this little idea I’ve had knocking around in my head for a little while. The best part...

    My kids had a passing obsession with the show We Bare Bears. They watched it constantly for about two weeks and then never wanted anything to do with it again. It’s a cute show. It’s about 3 bear brothers: a grizzly bear, a panda bear and a polar bear. One of the recurring side characters is Charlie.     Charlie is a sasquatch, or big foot. He is a good natured fellow, even though he isn’t the brightest. I fell in love with the character as soon as I saw him. Turns out he is voiced by ex-professional skateboarder turned actor, Jason Lee. Once I found out that little tid-bit I liked the character design even more.     With his bushy mustache, drawn as if he has a permanent smile, it makes him look a little like Lee’s television character Earl. I still think My Name is Earl is an underrated gem of TV. The character design is...
