Cash Register Concerto

This summer, the 3rd Walt Disney Classics Collection’s Classic Comic Series sculpture, Cash Register Concerto with Uncle Scrooge, comes out. It’s based on the cover of the Uncle Scrooge #5 comic from 1954.

I picked up the previous two Classic Comic Series sculptures (Pirate Gold with Donald Duck and Sheriff of Bullet Valley with Donald and his nephews) and am looking forward to getting this one too.

The sculptor, Bruce Lau, does an excellent job in recreating the comic book cover characters into sculpture form.

There are many more Walt Disney Classics Collection sculptures coming out in the future. You can check out a detailed list of all the releases at Duckman’s WDCC Inside Report site. I’d probably purchase more of these, but they’re all very costly…

last year i played around with some new design ideas, but never got around to finishing any of the designs to actually make into a website design. well, i decided to take advantage of the last 2 and a half week vacation in between semesters, and make a new design for my website. i’m happy with how it’s turned out. although i started it during vacation, i ended up spending half of the time working on a web project for someone at my church, so i had to postpone finishing up until now. there are still a few details i want to fix, as well as add in my portfolio, and make it look and feel more professional. and also update the site more frequently!

let me know what you think of the new design. good, bad, ideas, etc.

movable type has been giving me trouble when i tried updating to the new beta. it was also running pretty slow, so i decided to try out wordpress. which is much faster and better.

so now i’ll be working on the style as well as making sure the posts are all working right

it’s been a while since i’ve added any entries to my site. once again i blame the lazy self i seem to have become but the other day–or was it last night? i looked at my site and noticed how i haven’t added any new art for a while, or updated much of anything on the site. so i thought i should plan out some ideas, and also work on artwork and clothing designs. then when i was trying to fall asleep, i thought about an idea (which i just now remembered again) of creating a character or two and have them “model” the clothing designs i come up with. since i enjoy doing both character drawing and coming up with different clothing styles. hmm, does that sound too weird though? i’ll try it regardless but first i’m nearing completion of Enchanted Arms for the Xbox 360 which seems to be taking up a lot of my free time–or am i giving it a lot of my free time? i need to force myself out of this laziness state and start working at my goals

last night in Japan, and this morning here in the US, Nintendo announced all the info about its new game system, the Wii. the system will cost $250 and come with Wii Sports which has 5 different sports games. it will be in stores november 19th, and likely be sold out before the day ends depending on how many systems they ship out i hope to be able to find one–it looks fun and less than half the price of PlayStation 3

i just picked up the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XI. it comes with the new expansion pack as well as all the other expansion packs. i had quit the game for almost a year, but then a free beta test version of the game for Xbox 360 came out a few months ago that i tried and got hooked on i’ve been curious about the new areas and new character jobs in the expansion pack. i’ll be installing it tonight and trying it out

i just picked up this new Nintendo DS game called Brain Age. it supposedly can figure out your “brain age” by completing many different puzzle thinking games. i haven’t tried it out yet (just got it while out at lunch), but it seems pretty cool. i love thinking puzzle games. it also comes with Sudoku which has become pretty popular. i’ll try it tonight
