Show me the MUNNY!
For the last week we have been taking turns working on the Munny. We decided to give Horitomo first crack at it,
he decided to work on the front. The bonji symbols represent the god Fudo Myo-o and his attendants Kongara and Seitaka.
Horisou drew the skull-face and Filip added the onis inside the ears.
Horisou drew the amazing hannya mask on his head. He worked on it in Sacto at the convention, in between appointments.
Since Shige has been in town visiting he joined in and drew the dragon head on the back. He took a tiny tracing of the doll's back, one night, to work on it. He said Munny was a very patient client!
I drew the snake and peonies on the back of the head and around the mask. I did the whole thing in the airport and on the plane. It felt like I was shlepping around a toddler.
Dan Wysuph drew the skull and dagger sleeve on the left arm,
and Horitaka put the "GOOD LUCK" on his knuckles and finished it off with the State of Grace sleeve on the right.
Pencil, Sharpie and fixative, that's it. Did I mention Munny glows in the dark?
Everyone had so much fun working on this that we are making another one for the shop!
CLASS of '09
I just got back from NY where I was celebrating my little brother Ryan's high school graduation. Ry is a huge fan of Kid Robot and buys their blank dolls, called Munny, to decorate. Last time I visited NY, he showed me his collection of Munny dolls that he had made. When it came time to get him a graduation gift, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for him. So I rounded up the whole shop, bought the biggest Munny I could find and got everyone to do something on it. I presented it to him at the graduation party my parents threw for him the Sunday before the ceremony.
It was at a pizza place by my parents' house. Their good friend "Chunky" recently took over the kitchen and catered the party.
There is NOTHING in the world that can compare to NY pizza!
All I can say is, my little brother was so surprised that he was actually speechless. Trust me, we are NY Jews that is not an easy feat!
Now he knows how proud of him me and the rest of the crew are!!!!
