Probability and the Chance of the Roll…with Shroom-Dice!

Image | Posted on by

At this weekend’s Fillmore Jazz Festival in SF (san francisco), i was pleasantly surprised n delighted (and grateful) that the very first pair of my handmade [shroom-Dice赤い] had been bought!
(and now also available for purchase on Etsy HERE~)
Unfortunately, as i’d not gotten quite enough sleep the two nights prior, i lacked the time nor energy to make another pair in time for Sunday’s day2 of the Jazz Fest.  Still, i wonder if the dice have already be played with (it has not yet been 24hr.―since the sale was made―as of this initial writing on july 3rd, Sun.), or if they simply adorn someone’s shelf or coffee table, adding just that bit more of geeky-coolness to their room or game-den?

It’s a tricky thing, finding a nice (and hopefully profitable) balance between designing what one personally likes and what will likely Continue reading →

the nearly-complete Work-in-progress of my Majora’s Mask pixel-Art~ 

hello, readers! Those of you that are new to this blog, welcome! And those that visited my blog before, i thank you for returning, despite my 1.5year-long absence from my own site. The fact that i have my Twitter-feed connected to this blog is perhaps the only reason why there’s been any traffic here during that time, just barely enough to keep the virtual tumbleweed at bay, if barely…

So…after churning the idea around in my mind for altogether too long, i’ve decided that a suitably ironic way to mark my (not-so) grand return to a slight internet presence would be by presenting something about my current lil’ art project involving the end of the world–or more specifically, the end of the land of Termina, the stage for Continue reading →

unabashed MegaMan / ロックマン fan of many years.  go figure~

Clu sackiCon by vin-[oC]like, sure, i could bake up a nice, fresh, steaming bullshit-pie about how i had this dream where Dr. Right gave me a magical mushroom, then i found this lightsaber in a hidden Power-Up Capsule before falling down some long shaft full of giant killer lasers, at the bottom of which i encountered these really cool tangible wood-block pixelArt sculptures and found that the blocky metroid larva had developed a literal attachment to my leg, and then Rock appeared out a giant seashell and handed me a SackBoy hamburger thingy (un Royale du Sackgarçon, as @antikris77 called it?), and that’s what inspired me to draw this in adobe illustrator and blah blah blah… (btw, that’s not engrish.  Dr. Right  is the good doctor’s official Japanese name in the ロックマン games.  but you probably already knew that.  Rock & Roll, baby!)

but that’s not true.  it’s simply that i’ve been following the Blue Bomber since the days of MegaMan4  on the NES/Famicom (which i, ironically, still have yet to play), and drawing pixelArt combined with other stuff is fun.

now that dragon in MegaMan2  isn’t going to beat itself, so if you’ll all excuse me…       >[:)
