ART TOY // MiYA-SAN TRiBUTE FiGURE

I wanted to share a quick post for this adorable Miya-San figure by Martin Hsu who happens to be one of the nicest artists I know and I'm happy to share this and hopefully get the last few figures sold and it's for a good cause people!!! Based on the artwork of Martin Hsu, the 6-inch resin Miya-San figure is a tribute to Japanese writer/director Hayao Miyazaki.

If you don't know Hayao Miyazaki, you should! He has created some of my favorite movies of all time. Spirited Away, Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki's Delivery Service are just a few of them. 

Net proceeds from the sale of these figures will be donated to Karakuwa-Maru, a community building organization in the town of Karakuwa, Japan. Karakuwa-Maru is involved with rebuilding after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011. Who doesn't like getting a awesome figure and supporting a good cause?

300 of these whimsical figures were produced by Bigshot Toyworks. Get the figure here. There are only a few left and they are currently shipping so grab one before he's gone and get it in time for the holidays! 

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

WHAT i WORE // HAPPY DECEMBER

Happy first of December! I hope everyones holiday so far have been great and hopefully a little relaxing or if nothing else I hope you ate a ton. I know I did and it was amazing! I am more than ready for the holidays to be over though because that means I will be moving forward with my life and I couldn't be more excited about it.

I'm so sorry for my lack of posts lately. I should be back to a more normal schedule after the holidays and can get back to thing that I enjoy like sharing art, artist, and products that inspire me. I mentioned that I am going to be moving so packing up a 4 bedroom home and working has taken up all of my time. My house looks nothing like it did before with just some furniture still out and random piles of things I'm still sorting through to let go of. Because of all of this, I haven't had time nor the motivation to do much else. There are so many projects I what to work on but they will have to wait until next year. 

It's a little early but I was in the holiday spirit so I dressed the part and took a few photos.
