CALLIOPE: Stop Motion Animated Short Film on Kickstarter

This is a really awesome project to back on Kickstarter! Stop Motion Animation is very time consuming  and takes a long time to complete a film. Circus Posterus (Kathie Olivas & Brandt Peters) just launched their Kickstarter Campaign HERE. They have a lot of awesome rewards.

"The goal of this Kickstarter project is to raise enough capital to help produce and finance Calliope as an 8-10 minute (feature production quality level) stop-frame short film and to produce it within 15 months (starting after the conclusion of this successful campaign) including its incentives."

Designer Con 2013 Recap

Designer Con was held this past weekend in Pasadena, CA. This was a 2-day event. It was definitely bigger than last year. There were tons of good stuff to buy and something for everyone. If you like custom figures, they were pretty much everywhere. There were sofubi, resin, blind boxes, mini art shows, t-shirts and much more. There were quite a few companies and artist that came all the way from Japan. If you weren't able to come this year, definitely make plans to come out next year and save all your money because there's so much good stuff dropping that you'll go home broke.
