Thank you Noferin for the prints !

You can expect a couple of variants of these little creatures in due time. Say, coming in different wood finish? Awesome!

Noferin's Pecanpals debut

I am delighted to tell the world that I woke up at 5am that day and successfully scored a full set of Noferin's Pecanpals. It was about time they released these very much anticipated creatures. These obviously did very well on their debut as they were sold out in a little less than a day.

I believe, these shall become one of those very much loved toys. Look at them! They make such good models for photography.

Those who have purchased will be seeing them at their door in the next two weeks.

Good job Noferin!

mixtART at Giant Robot

If you recall my post about Noferin's newest mini paintings, they are being exhibited at Giant Robot's gallery in San Francisco. They are up and available for purchase, with my preffered pieces has already sold. Oh well, no fret, I've got something even better coming up.

Check out all artworks exhibited here.

Noferin's pieces for mixtART

Here are two mini paintings done on wood by the Noferin for the show MixtART at Giant Robot in San Francisco, opening on 20th September. I like how they are up close in these smaller pieces. They have been working on quite a few small pieces.

Noferin @ G1988

In which friends recite their morning calls

In which summer scents fill the sky

Noferin will be featuring two pieces for the upcoming Gallery 1988's "Everything in Together" group show, opening June 20th in San Francisco. Really love these two pieces mainly of their colours. They are just so... warm and comfortable to stare at. You probably knew by now that I particularly love purple / purple-ish colours.

Should be quite a show with a good strong line of artists, particularly those I am familiar with. You can see the list here.

first Noferin prints

From my previous post here, I purchased my first Noferin prints and they arrived to my door this morning. It appeared quite beaten-up, naturally I was real worried about the prints inside being ill-treated and disfigured.

Thankfully the foamboards did their job and prevented further damage except to themselves.

In which the Lotus bloom captures everyone's attention

In which moonlight filters through the forest

Things that came with them:

Note the "Congratulations" note was towards 'winning' the award for having the longest mailing address this time round. *I am proud of it. :)

Such sweet people. Thank you Noferin.

Noferin new prints

Done with work, finally. I am absolutely knackered right now.

Got a lovely email with an update from Noferin of their two new prints. I might jump on these, first artwork purchase from the duo, Nicho and Candy from Australia.

I hinted previously to Nicho about a commission work, I wonder whether they would give in to my request. Candy's tummy is getting real big too. :)

Both limited to 75 pieces each

I like the smaller dimension piece on the right. Just like it simpler.
Like 'em? Head over to Noferin's shop to purchase.

Noferin wooden sculptures

Still looking up for actual photos at the show of giant Pecan and Pandacake. Should be quite impressive.

If anyone is up for Noferin's brilliant wooden sculptures showcased at CoproNason recently, they are still available. What a tease for the upcoming little pecanpals sculptures.

See what are still available here.

Noferin's Pecanpals & CoproNason show

Noferin will make it big when they showcase their works at CoproNason, entitled "The Start; or Where We Begin" on 5th April 2008! I would like to suggest that their works-to-date are quality works of art. Particularly where they introduce bits and pieces of what they see and experience from where they are (Carrara Island, Australia) into their paintings. I was in Melbourne for quite a few years but knowing that Carrara Island has a completely different environment with different lifeforms really intrigues me.

"In which fluttering friends gather by the lilly pond"

Making the subtle gentle creatures from their paintings come to life is probably one of the best things I have seen it a while. Just absolute quality.

Fanelli, Pecan, Pandacake, Claudius and Jac Jac

They do remind me of my childhood toys that have got those rewind mechanism to make them move. Mind you, these aren't simply toys. They are entirely made from wood, hand crafted, hand painted, and limited to 200 per character.

Sweet to be looking forward to something, after a long while of stagnancy.
