Sólo a un friki como a mí de la política y la democracia le podían regalar un libro TAN fantástico como este: Assembly required.
De unos youtubers británicos que sigo que hablan sobre política (#TLDR News y sus otros canales).
Una maravilla de libro con fotos preciosas de varios parlamentos del mundo 🤩
I'm especially proud of the rock creek monster keshi that we've produced because it's my wife's first digital sculpt, and was something of a last minute addition to our #assemblyRequired loadout.
We have intended on making this figure for a while, but hadn't sculpted it yet, and frankly didn't think we'd have the time to.
And then she sat down and sculpted it, and the next day we made some molds and produced the toys. From finishing the sculpt to holding our first physical copy was 36 hours tops, and from initial concept to first sale was about 5 days.
That's an incredible turnaround, and something that I'm really proud of us for accomplishing.
We participated in Assembly Required, the Designer Art Toy Show in Asheville NC this past weekend. It was a blast, and I wanted to take a few minutes to showcase some of the art and artistry on display in the independent toymaking community.

Hey!
I'm at the designer art toy show in Asheville! I'll be here all day tomorrow and Sunday.
I have Sky Pirates, I have monsters, I have hand made jointed action figures, I have keshi, I have stickers, I have gameboy games, I have comic books, and I have magazines.
We'll sing the songs that remind us of the good times, and the songs that remind us of the bad times.
Learn more https://assembly-required.net/about-us/ or just come see us at Battery Park Hall.

These are the homies.
Alright, we're on the road towards #Asheville for #assemblyRequired
Well, no. I'm walking to the car. And then we'll be on the road toward the coffee shop, which is in the opposite direction.
But everything is in the car and we will be presently.
Alright, I think this is my last Assembly Required post for today.
Announcing Filibus, The Mysterious Air Pirate.
Filibus is a hand made action figure, based on the 1915 film Filibus. They are a genderfluid airship captain, and the star of my serial magazine The Mysterious Air Pirates.
These are the first batch of our Deluxe Full-color edition figures. They're hand painted.
Future editions will probably involve paint masks, but I didn't have time to do it fast so I had to take the time to do it slow.
There are currently 5 of this Deluxe Edition Filibus Action Figure, along with about two dozen of a show exclusive variant. They will be available this weekend at Assembly Required in Asheville, NC.
After Assembly Required, a second hand painted batch will be available for fedifolk sometime in Feb, and another different edition will be available in March.

Anyway, as I said in my #shamelessSelfPromotion thread a few days ago, this is how we make our living now. Both my wife and I are full time artists, toy makers, and producers of media.
If you want to support our work, boost some of the posts I've made about #AssemblyRequired or shoot me a message if you want to reserve some of these toys.
When it comes to artistic endeavors, I am forever jealous and proud of my wife.
She decided to learn 3D modelling last week.
Yesterday, she produced her first original injection molded toy.
Meet The Creature from Big Rock Creek.
He's inspired by Kappa, water spirits or monsters from Japanese folklore, and from the almost certainly facetious but persistently reported sightings of a creature emerging from one of the waterways near town.
He'll be available for sale for the first time this weekend at Assembly Required in Asheville, NC.
