It's been a while since an update, so a longish one. We've been getting lots of goodies in the mail. First off, two giant boxes of the 8 inch Powder Cats for Le Sport Sac. Hopefully once our schedule clears up a little, I'll have time to put them all up on the store. They're very huggable... in a hard plastic sort of way...
♣ Big Powder and Lil Powder are checking themselves out in the DOTDOTDASH book which has some of our Qees and Hingeheads featured. I like to think Catbot as the world's most famous designer cat, because he's been published in at least half a dozen design books. hehe. (even though he really needs to go on a diet!)
♣ Michael will be doing an Octonauts reading at Senka Cafe, the cafe next to Kinokuniya Books downtown LA on Saturday Feb 24th. Hope some of you can show up, please help spread the word and invite all your friends. Unfortunately I cannot attend, but if you've been to any of our readings, you'll know that Michael is the star due to his critter voice talents!
♣ Also, a big THANK YOU to Octonauts fans, all because of *you* we'll be doing a second printing of the book (!!!) hiphiphooray. It's not too late to pick up a first edition (hopefully one day it'll be worth millions of acorns) but the 2nd one will be nice too because I was allowed to fix some small mistakes in the printing. o^___^o
♣ Also, for New York fans, our giant Sea of Shade textile print will be showing at New City Art Home Gallery as part of the Rojo.INNA exhibition. Opening Feb. 21, 2007. Please attend and help me take some photos haha because I've yet to see what it looks like.
♣ We were featured in German anime/cosplay magazine CHO2. There's also an article on my favourite anime of all time Samurai Champloo, and a lot of bishounen manga articles o__O
♣ The kind folks over at Chumby sent us our very own squishy pillow touchscreen to play with! I haven't had time to delve into it yet, but the product seems really promising, and of course you just have to look at their logo to know they are kindred souls. mmm tentacles. I'll update more on this fine tech-craft product once I try it out more.
♣ A lil preview of Tummo, a new member to our vinyl family... soon. His appetite will scare you!!
♣ Finally, not yet in my mailbox, but I was excited to order my autographed copy of 25th anniversary Last Unicorn DVD One of my favourite animations when I was young. Anyway, some/many of you may already know of Peter Beagles struggles with gaining back royalties for this picture, so if you order directly from above, you'd really help him out plus you can get him to write funny names on the box. It really is a beautiful animation & story.
