On sale Jan 6th 9.00 Hong Kong time from 3A Toys. Might have to be an early birthday present to myself. I’m told he’s doing a version of Mazinger and possibly Gundam too if this goes well.

Preparations over the Xmas period for the joint artwork show with Henry Flint at the Pure Evil Gallery on Jan 26th. Not much space amongst the art, records, frames and robots.

This just has my name written all over it – coming soon from 3A and Bandai

Regular blog readers will have noticed a love for Ashley Wood‘s 3A toy company and its works and his legion of fans are putting on a custom show in the 1:AM gallery in San Francisco in two weeks time. A blank severed Bot head was given to each participant, to customise as they wish but it seems a few have gone outside the brief too with amazing results. Over at the 3A forum there has been a slow reveal of some of the custom creations set to appear and the overall quality and ingenuity of some of the pieces is staggering. Wish I could see some of these in the, er… plastic. More to come once the show opens hopefully.

There’s so much to like in Alex Varanese‘s images and design. The restricted colour palette, abstract architecture, retro grain and lens effects, robots, analogue era technology and on and on. There is such a thing as too much talent, this is the biggest gallery I’ve done by a mile, see much more at his site.
