" I choose you..."
~ every Pokemon trainer...everrr
Wee Sword and Board Trainer-
This Pokemon inspired shield and sword are a gift heading to a friend's 1 year old. I am trying to make these a "traditional" gift for my friends' children. This theme was inspired by the mom, who taught her daughter to say "pikachoo" instead of peekaboo! Gawd but I love a dysfunctional art family!
Off to Salute!
I'm scrambling to get everything in order before I leave for Salute in a few days- all the gifts I am bringing, orders I'm muling, and you know, things like underwear... I was hoping to run a big Wooden Wars game there, but apparently the show was booked for games like a half year in advance, with 23 "stand by" games in the wings before I came calling. Maybe next year then!
My big goal for Salute really is to find someone over the pond with whom I can work and license my models- as shipping costs over to the U.K. and Europe are really crippling. So if you know anyone...
I'll be over at Simon Miller's " To the Bravest" game as well as playing games with the Warlords, so if you happen by, I'd love to meet you face to face. I'm bringing wooden soldiers to pass out- so look me up! (I'm the one on the left of the picture)
Cheers
Thomas

Nice picture of the motley crew there, Thomas. And thanks for posting your work bench, it helps ease the guilt about the clutter on my own. ;-)
ReplyDeleteToo bad you couldn't get in the Wooden Wars at Salute, I can see it being a hit.
