Was expecting a monster romp like the 'predecessor' but got a clever film about domestic abuse. So damn good. I just wish I'd seen it sooner. ★★★★

I dunno..

It comes with 3 coloured liquids and this "magic powder". It took me about 30min to translate the majority of the instructions, but I understood that one whole bottle of colour requires one satchel of powder. You can mix the colours up to make new colours too. I went half yellow & blue for a green set. You mix the colours up in the provided paper cup then add the powder and mix until its not lumpy. You then microwave it for about 30sec where it goes from a thick honey consistancy to a runny liquid. From there you pour it into the mold and leave it undisturbed for 30min to set. Once done it has the same properties of those sticky slap hands you used to find in those cheap gumball machines, but instead of stinking of plastic, it smells of sickly sweet fake apples. It was a fun exercise and I'm a sucker for anything with rhinoceros beetles.

A sombre but colourful musical set in Glasgow, about a girl dealing with her demons and her run in with 2 other musicians. Peter Pan dresses, indie museos all to the vibe of Belle & Sebastian. I did find it strange Hannah Murray once again gets the character name Cassie though. ★★

Messing with paper inserts.. Its difficult. The curved surfaces magnify parts and I need to find a way to hold it in place when pouring. Also rookie error not shaking the resin bottles before mixing and thus the legs didn't set. #leglesssquidy #makemyowntoyproject #squidy

The determination and dedication of this man is immensly uplifting. The world needs more of his mentality. Much respect. ★★★★

Got home early today and tackled a little project and it was a SUCCESS! So a big fuck you to the jerk who stole THREE of my valve caps, because now I'll make some GID ones 🙌 #resin #diy #workwheels

KORATES aka Shoko Nakagawa Recently discovered her sculpt of this 'Byron' salamander critter. I'm absolutely in love with it and can't wait to get my mits on one.. or three http://www.koraters.com/

It's Japanese Film Festival time again. I'm starting it off with Short Peace. 4 animated short films. I enjoyed it as a whole. Some more than others. 'Possesions': about a lost traveler stumbling across an abandoned shrine was really cute. That umbrella frog was adorable. 'Combustible': set in feudal times was a bit sad, but I like how it was told like a moving emakimono (picture scroll). 'Gambo' was pretty awesome. A white bear protecting a girl/small villiage from a huge demon. I kinda almost wish it was an OVA. and finally my favourite of the lot: 'A Farewell to Weapons': it was about a squad of guys who were disarming weapons in a post apocalypic world. Definately had a Patlabor/Ghost in the Shell feel to it. And rightly so, as it had legendary mecha designer Hajime Katoki behind it. Just fantastic.
