Urgent appeal from a mother and father who are absent from their four children trapped in the Gaza Strip under the fire of war. Our little daughter Walaa is diabetic and needs urgent treatment abroad, but the crossing is closed and medicines are scarce.

We appeal to those with merciful hearts to help provide their basic needs of food, drink and shelter, as their circumstances are harsh and our hearts are burning with longing and fear for them.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference. Please share the donation link and help us save the lives of our children.

my (segmented) zine piece for holy shuggazine!, a celebration for the 20th anniversary of the debut of srmthfg.

this show was a catalyst and a major source of inspiration for my art journey, so it holds a special place in my heart. i'm truly grateful to be a part of this incredible project, and i'm truly grateful to ciro nieli for this incredible show.

IT'S HERE!!!! Holy Shuggazine! , featuring beautiful art and writing from over 40 contributors, is now available to download FOR FREE on Itch.io!

I can't thank everyone who worked on this project enough for bringing their absolute finest work to this zine to celebrate Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!'s 20th anniversary! All these years later, it's still the best fandom ever. We wanted this to be digital-first so we could release it right on the anniversary, but we are planning a physical release and will let you know when we have the details all worked out!

congrats on getting that sick garage kits haul!!!! id love to know about your experience...and was it super pricy?

thank you! answers to your questions will remain under the cut, but first, here's my current progress on punk:

i'm messing up on his shoulder spikes so badly 😔 pinning is hard! tamiya putty please save me

but anyways...

long story short, i found out about this site called buyee, which is essentially a service that gives you access to buy items from these online marketplaces in japan (yahoo auctions japan, mercari, rakuten, etc.).

i first snooped into mercari and snagged both the gameboy cartridge and the carddass for around 10 USD each. i was pretty shocked that i somehow got these easily (and at low prices too), and so i thought, that garage kit maker, planeswalker, who recreated ariga's version of enker last year...i wonder if some of their kits are also sold here? so i went searching. they weren't present in the search results of mercari, but i managed to find them on yahoo auctions japan, namely, some of their garage kits of battle network and star force mega man and... a garage kit of ariga's version of punk that had just been made this past summer. and through some more investigating, i found the garage kit for ariga's enker. immediately placed a bid for enker and managed to be the only bidder there, then i bidded on punk and also managed to be the only bidder for him too.

in terms of price, each of the garage kits were around 120-130 USD on yahoo auctions japan, which is... reasonable? i don't have a solid sense on what pricing is proper enough for resin kits in general, but considering the make and well, the scarcity of these garage kits, i figured these prices were just right. (i didn't get them directly from planeswalker by the way, it just so happened that the scalpers who were bulk buying resin kits from sculptors at wonder festival were selling them for pretty reasonable prices on yahoo auctions japan, but also... jacking them up on amazon japan and ebay US?)

(oh, can't also forget the really expensive shipping; for what i got, it all costed around 60 USD in total for shipping, which includes the shipping from each seller to buyee's warehouse, and the shipping for the consolidated package to my home.)

by the way, i've been constantly looking to see if more of planeswalker's kits are being sold on yahoo auctions japan; you can look into it yourself of course, but currently there's another kit of ariga's punk patiently waiting to be purloined here. i got the punk kit with all of the pieces intact from that same seller, in case you're unsure on whether or not they'll give you the kit once you win the auction.

hope that helps, and happy shopping :)

this is usually not something i'd post on my art blog but i need to brag about my haul from buyee:

these are two garage kits of punk and enker both made by planeswalker (@/maskedrider666 on twitter) that i snagged from yahoo auctions japan, and a carddass and a gameboy cartridge of rockman world from mercari ☺️

if i'm not posting a lot of art for some months (which may happen), it's probably because i'm busy assembling these kits! starting off with punk even though i have no experience with putting together a resin kit, he's already really difficult to handle with his ten million spikes. wish me luck 🙏

[rkn001]
