• My design on a Eames Elephant stool

  Friday, Nov 20, 2009 10:17PM / Standard Entry

  Hello
  
  Lately,  I had a chance to do a design for a non-profit organization called (Ambassadors of Designs).  They held an event named "Detour".  
  
  The Detour's project aims are,
  -Arouse wider public interest in design and the hong kong design community.
  
  - Encourage cross-disciplinary and cross-border dialogue between design professionals from       East Asia and the world
  
  -Show case young, emerging Hong Kong designers to the world media and visitors.
  
  -Promote creativity amongst Hong kong students and youth through participation.
  
  -Create a collective plateform and favourable environment for the dissemination of the    studio-based design research and output.
  
  A furniture store in Hong Kong "Aluminium" sponsored the Elephant stool designed by Ray Eames in the 50's and was never launched in the past until 2009.   These elephant stools will be design by some art/design students, Hong Kong designers, architects, celebrities. Either to hand paint or attach sticker onto the Eames Elephants.
  
  The resulting design will be exhibited in one of the Aluminium store in Hong Kong between December 3-9th 2009. 
  
  After the opening event, the individual pieces will be posted on the Detour website for "Bidding".  The money will go back  to Ambassadors of Design for future events.
  
  I felt this event has a same goal as Alivenotdead.  That was our(alive boys) idea on helping and promoting any creative artists around the world.  And art/design is also one of the category  amongst all the creative field.
  
  So here is my design.   (HALF an HALF) something that will represent  our site.  "Alive" not "Dead".

• Repainting a Toy (Iron Monger)
  ( 繁 | 简 | 日 )

  Friday, Oct 9, 2009 2:12PM / Standard Entry / Art

  I'm usually not a toy collector, but when I saw this action figure iron monger from ironman, I knew I have to get it.  I've really enjoy the Ironman film,  especially the designs of the flight suit and the mechanic of ironman and his villian, iron monger.
  
  I saw this Iron Monger action figure in Toy-r-us.  it is just the normal Hasbro action figure.  The quality of it is not very good at all.  For this one, there were no paint on it what so ever.  The mold itself were decent.  But did they forget to paint them?
  
  Since I've done so many prop making when I was doing Special Effects.  Repainting a figure was an easy task for me.   So I got myself some model paint and painted them with multiple layers trying to get the brush steel look to it.  It came out pretty good.  At least It made the toy look more like a collectors piece.
  
  without further due, here it is.
  
  Here are the original color straight out from the box, just a piece of brownish plastic.
  
  
  
  And here are the painted version. Which one would you buy?
