Look What I Got Today part 74 [ Michael Lau CrazyMichael]

是說,
2010年一整年的文章,
我很樂意在這篇第74回合的LWIGT單元結束。

很感謝我的好兄弟mankas
不僅幫我和Sarah採買12吋的黑色ML人型,
也送了我這份禮重情義更重的耶誕和新年禮物,
真的很感動也很開心。

還有一張小卡片,
這實在讓久久沒有收過卡片的我,
很是感動,

話說我和mankas認識也好幾年了,
去年對他而言我想是人生最重要的一年,
和Yvonne完成了終身大事,

展望2011,
他和我一樣,
都有人生新的規劃,
在此我也要把我最深的祝福,
送給我這一輩子的好兄弟,

Wish you & Yvonne a best 2011,
心想事成,平安健康!

Look What I Got Today part 73 [ Michael Lau 水晶球]

這個ML水晶球我在2010年底就收到了,
想說還是寫成2010年的文章吧,
就放在這篇LWIGT文裡。

很感謝我在左岸微博認識的香港朋友Dicky,
送我的這份禮物,

其實我只不過是花點小力氣,
幫Dicky搞定了一個玩具作品,
但他卻很有心千里迢迢寄了個禮物送我。

常想,
在收藏玩具的過程裡,
這種難得的友誼,
其實也是我一直走下去的動力,

Thank you so much Dicky!
Happy New year!

ALL GONE 2010

先祝大家新年快樂啊!
HAPPY 2011~~


號稱時尚潮流界的聖經書All Gone,
2010版本已經先行亮相,
這次書皮看來貌似皮紋質感,
黑色和駝色的色系每賣啦,

不過老實說,
陸續看過前幾年的All Gone內容後,
呃,
我是覺得,

雖不至於江河日下,
但也不脫每下愈況,每況愈下之感吧。

我之前寫過一些All Gone這本書的消息,
大家加減可以在下方的相關連結參考看麥。

Eagles "Desperado"


老鷹合唱團EAGLES - Desperado @ Yahoo! Video

Desperado,
我很喜歡這個字。

這也是我相當喜歡的一首歌,
陪伴我無數夜晚,
每次聽都有不同感觸,
真的,
so touched!

尤其年紀漸長,
我總有更深刻的體會。

雖然台灣似乎都將歌名翻譯成"亡命之徒",
但相信我,
其實歌詞所表達的意境不全然是如此,
他可能是更深刻的孤獨和渴望。

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasing you will hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the Queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The Queen of hearts is always your best bet
How it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get

Desperado
Oh, you ain't getting no younger

Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home

Freedom, ah, freedom
That's just some people talking
Your prison is walking thrugh this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate

It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

我在youtube看到一位台灣歌手"荒山亮"的版本,
唱得也很深刻,
大家可以聽聽。

Amanda Visell Bad Badtz Maru

剛剛一個左岸的朋友,
問我對這個被翻掉的酷企鵝(Bad Badtz Maru)有什麼看法,
我想他的意思應該是說值不值得入手,

其實這只牽涉個人主觀意識吧,
只要喜歡,
沒有什麼值不值得的問題,
也就是入手其實不是多複雜的事,
喜歡就買如此罷了

當然,
客觀上的評價還是存在,
這很明顯是Amanda Visell的作品,
看那彎彎柳葉眼也就知道,
又是個一仙阿曼達的作品,
這個素人出身的藝術工作者,
個人風格相當顯眼,
也受到不少女性朋友歡迎,

至於這個6吋高的作品,
老實說這是個不適合的尺寸,
尤其這種大小,
讓他本來就不出色的下半身,
更顯空洞而呆版,

不如以盒抽小物的方式,
或許會好一些。

報告完畢。

Merry Xmas to ALL!

謝謝Winson好幾天前就寄了這張電子賀卡給我,
Merry Xmas to all my friends~

是說最近一直沒心思更新文章,
我的腦漿大概都花在寫提案這件事,
還有明年的VTSS project
最近和Okedoki的伊媚兒往返,
已經到了照三餐來的境界,
哇奔郎現在的英文水準,
應該比tony chen還厲害。

一年容易又耶誕,
真的,
時間總是如此,

有人說時間像乳溝,
擠一擠就有,
我是覺得時間像女優,
偷偷來又走,
(這個比喻真是太有意境了)

點歌吧!

Gibson / Kramer "ART ASSAULT" Art Basel Miami 2010‏


好友Nakanari這次有參加Gibson在邁阿密舉行的"ART ASSAULT",
重點當然是那幾把custom過的吉他,
這次邀請到不少大咖設計工作者,


Art Basel Miami 2010 has come and gone, but not without the launch of Art Assault, a creative collaboration between Gibson and Kramer Guitars, Outta My Mind Creations and Mai Hiro which serves to bring together art with music in exciting new ways. With a spotlight on electric guitars and designer toys, the incredible artists involved went beyond conventional designs and created truly unique works of art that were displayed in the trendy Gibson Showroom located in the heart of Miami's Design District. The support of Kidrobot and Kuso Vinyl helped instill the show with the designer toy vibe that the creators had found vital to portray, while Tito's Handmade Vodka, Monster Energy and Bento Café instilled fans with spirits, energy, and sushi nutrition for stomachs along for the creative ride! The reception was quite a success with many visitors taking in the visual and aural stimulus produced by the work, whether it was from the Kramer Assault 220FR guitars, the Kidrobot 20" Dunny Superband "performing live" on a miniature stage, rocking out to live band and DJ Aba or trading Dunnys and other giveaways provided by Kidrobot and Juxtapoz magazine.

Art Assault is on the brink of a tour, reaching mulitple cities in the United States and potentially around the globe, with new artwork being added to each stop, and the proceeds of the custom painted toys and guitars going to benefit the Gibson Foundation. Every stop brings the opportunity to have art and music collide to rock minds and hearts.

Art Assault Miami would not be possible without the hard work put in from everyone involved- the guitar artists (Michael Lau, Nakanari, Pete Fowler, Christian Jacobs, 123Klan, Matt Waldman, Camilla d’Errico, Ashley Wood, Long Vo, Lebo, and Jeff Bridges), the Dunny artists (Jure Gavran, Dave “Outtamymind” Quiles, Tracy Tubera, kaNO, and Rotobox Vinyl Anatomica), Mac Perez III, Brad Berman, Juan Lopera, Kuso Vinyl (Jonathan Ma and Jia Jia Sun), the Quiles family, Mikey Yap, Mike Begonia, bluemotion (Quan Vu, Chris Favis and company), Julius Mayo, Jr., and our sponsors (Kidrobot, Juxtapoz, Kuso Vinyl/Kusopop, myplasticheart, Dragatomi, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Monster Energy, Bento Café, Nooka, Capcom, Monster Energy, Reign, Vinylpulse, SHON, Fury Animals, and One Day Masterpieces).

OKEDOKI new custom

剛剛看到我的好友,
加拿大新銳設計師OKEDOKI
又有新的custom作品亮相。

哈哈,
這個Tomato Soup真的太逗趣鳥,
我有甲意那個OKEDOKI的字體。

原本的番茄湯罐頭長這樣,
這個圖案經由POP ART大師Andy Warhol採用入畫,
可以說是最有名的番茄罐頭吧。

Luke Chueh huge possessed?


各位覺得呢?

(本篇榮獲本年度最混發文)



算了,
還是打一下字好了。

我在VTSS 2008年的年度回顧報告中,
有提到大型設計師玩具的趨勢,
現在看看,
好像被我命中這一款。

以下是蘇半仙在2008年的大預測內文:
===============================
各位要不要來預測一下,
或是說盼望出現哪些大型作品?
我來說我的名單:

(A)James Jarvis king ken
金剛系列
我想是很多收藏者認識英國插畫家James Jarvis的第一或第二個作品,
這個作品有他獨到的歷史評價。
既然金剛都已經有小型的mini系列,
我想來個4FT大型金剛絕對有話題,
重點是氣勢一定給他很驚人,
各位想想來兩隻金剛站在你家門口會是個怎樣的感覺?

(B)Luke Chueh possessed
關於possessed,
若要生產大型作品,
本VTSS頭號成員ken爺一定會舉雙手贊成。
這是LA設計師Luke Chueh的重要成名作品,
個人評價很高,
尤其remote control的概念深得我心,
各位想想若是大型版本,
嘿嘿一定很有fu。

Joe Ledbetter Chinese Zodiac mini figure


沒錯,
12生肖的概念,
對於設計師玩具領域而言,
是個想法不算太新鮮,
但卻有機會一試的方法。

不算太新鮮的原因,
我想,
在於不少玩具生產單位可能都考慮過這種方式,
(連本人老姊和我小妹都建議我可以試試這種方法)
差別在於有無後續量產動作,

畢竟12種態樣的動物表徵,
對於以限量為前提的設計師玩具市場,
可以在有限的總數量內以12種方式呈現,
確實是有賣相的可能,

至於有機會一試,
是在於這12種態樣其實有某種侷限性,
我個人覺得是必須有"可愛"的元素在裡頭,
尤其擅長以動物為範本的可愛元素,

這答案我想很明顯,
Joe Ledbetter確實是個好選擇,
(也有可能是市場性的唯一選擇)

這種盒抽小物,
單價不高,
幾乎所有收藏者都有能力入手,
對於生產單位而言,
其實已經不太考慮"限量"這個因素了,
滿足市場需求才是最優先考量,
(如果市場性存在的話)

對於我而言,
其實對這種盒抽盒玩的品質,
一概打上問號,

如果各位曾經收過各家生產商的盒玩,
應該都有同感,
尤其Joe Ledbetter的風格是陰影描邊套色
生產流程一個走鐘,
就會讓整個作品好像褪色般不堪,
看久都會出現白內障的暈眩感。

Play Imaginative現在的作品質感如何我不清楚,
很久之前我只收過一隻trexi,
塑膠感很重,
對合的開模線很明顯,
不過上色是在水準以上。

希望這套作品水準能超越finders keepers,
而且這應該不是難事。

Michael Lau CrazyMichael & Crazy'Mas @ Times Square HK

這一看就知道不可能是我拍的,
畢竟對於我這只會用消費型數位相機的阿呆來說,
是沒有景深這回事的。

謝謝我的好兄弟mankas,
用他手上的canon 5d2 + ZOOM LENSES 24-70MM F.2.8
在時代廣場Crazy'Mas發售日當天拍了這些照片。

這張我很甲意,
取景真夠水準這樣,
哈哈。

這種陳列方式很有ML一貫風格,

ML正在畫插圖,
感謝mankas幫我搞定這些,
揪甘心ㄟ。
