Cinefex

The chance to start offering Cinefex was just something we couldn't pass up. We've been fans of the ultimate SFX magazine since issue 1 when it was all a bit more rubber bands and ply wood than today's CGi-fests but it's still as fascinating as ever. If you've got any sort of interest in how effects films are put together it's a must read.

mags & books: CINEFEX - No.122 July 2010

Iron Man 2 / Alice In Wonderland / Clash of the Titans/ Splice. That's different articles about separate films, by the way. Not one movie about an mech-suited victorian girl who battles genetically altered mythological beasts. But hey....

mags & books: CINEFEX - No.121 April 2010

The Wolfman / The Tippett Touch / The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus / Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. This issue's worth it just for the article on the stop-motion master. Although he doesn't do a lot of stop motion any more. Boo!

This hard to find postcard book features 50 custom BunneeQ Qee designs from the 2006 APM Bunny Qee Fiesta in Hong Kong.

Cute Dolls/Cute Stuff

Aranzi Aronzo is a company run by Mrs.Saito and Ms.Yomura. The company catch phrase is "cute, strange, cool, silly, a little bit horrible, stupid and comfortable'. Not quite as catchy as 'Nice to see you, to see you nice' but hey, it's about the goodies they produce and the style in which they are made which, for the most part can be described as kawaii, meaning 'Japanese cute' which the toys in both of these English text books certainly are. So, get your sewing kit out and start stiching - your take on these designs could well be the characters for the next big car ad, or at least a cute gift for your loved one :)

mags & books: Cute Stuff
by Aranzi Aronzo

A lovely book for anyone wanting to have a go at making their own contemporary bags, keychains and other cute stuff. Approximately 210mm x 260mm and printed on what seems to be recycled paper, this book of 80 pages provides both the patterns and the inspiration to get creative. A cool pressie for any aspiring textile artist.
Patterns include: how to make felt bags, fun tissue cases and long doll scarves. Groovy.

PLEAASE NOTE: Due to the size and weight of this publication, this goodie will be shipped seperately from any other purchase.

Smart Bomb!!

Woo-hoo! we finally did something ourselves and no, it's not a toy! Smart Bomb!! is a little dinkybox project brought to life by some of our friends and a lot of hard work.

We guess the best way to describe it is a modern day, video game-related version of those old British adventure comics of the 70s and 80s like 2000AD, Battle and Action. There's 40, full-colour pages packed with adventure, action and excitement and it's all-ages friendly too, so there's nothing kids can't see.

A fantastic first issue, you could say.

Please note: ALL of our paper based goodies are posted in either a sturdy A4/A3 top notch heavyweight carded envelope or a double walled cardboard box for maximum protection. Cool!

mags & books: SMART BOMB!! Level 1-1

40 8x10.5" full colour pages of video game comic madness from:

Wil Overton
Phillip M Jackson
Ryan Stevenson
Eddie Sharam
& Damien Sparkes

To find out more about our comic we've started it up a little section/blog of its own. Just go HERE! :)

HELLO USA! - If you live in the US and would like to avoid overseas shipping costs you can also get Smart Bomb from our friends at Indy Planet (www.indyplanet.com). Please note though that Indy Planet copies do not come with the hack cards.
