Skills to Pay the Bills

June 17th, 2008 by Horrorwood

昨日Gravityのメンバー嶋谷と濱田が家を訪ねてくれた。
着いてすぐ、浜田君に小さい金属の箱を渡された。開けたら、凄い物が入っていた:
オリジナルな手作りSkullboyフィギュア!!

前の展示会で僕のイラストをフィギュアに出来たら最高だという話をしていて、
知らない間に濱田君が苦労してそのフィギュアを作ってくれた。
僕の大好きなベアブリックをベースにして、手作りのパーツを付けて改造したらしい。
このフィギュアをいっぱい作れたらいいな~と思った… 玩具メーカーの方がこれを読んだら連絡ください。

ちなみに、次のGravity展は10月13日~19日に開催する予定。詳細は後ほどアップします。

Fellow Gravity members Shimatani and Hamada came to visit us the other day.
On arrival Hamada produced a little silver box and announced that he had something for me.
I am now the proud owner of a one-off, hand-made Skullboy figure!

We had talked at the last exhibition about how cool it would be to turn my Skullboy illustration into a figure, and unbeknownst to me Hamada has been quietly working on this little fella for many months.

The base is a Be@rbrick (one of my favourite toys) onto which Hamada grafted and sculpted new parts.
I only wish there was some way to turn this into a production piece. If there are any toy manufacturers out there, please get in touch.

The next Gravity show is planned for October 13th-19th. Details to follow.

    If only we could go into mass production.
