KAIJU FOR JAPAN 4/22/2011

Started over a month ago now by artist Troy Stith as a direct correlation to the tragic Japanese earthquake and tsunami, "Kaiju for Japan" was formed to help raise money through all the artists in our tight knit community. All have been hard at work and launching this Friday, April 22nd is the webstore for the items that 80+ artists have donated with 100% of the profits going to relief efforts in Japan! This was something we felt we could all help with, and now it's your turn. Launching tomorrow at 4pm EST HERE, you will have a chance to buy tons of one-off unique items, rare production pieces, prints, and custom toys.

I took a different approach to this relief effort and instead of customizing a toy, I poured one of my "Borracho" resin figures, and then painted the Japanese navel flag, the rising sun, over the entire figure. With the face being the middle red circle, and the 16 rays illuminating across the body. The kanji on the stomach says COURAGE... which is why I named this piece "Courage of the Rising Sun". This along with tons of other pieces will be up for grabs tomorrow HERE, so please if you like it, buy it, and support Japan.
