Air Bass Robo by Teru Fujita

 We've had Teru Fujita in one of our shows (Candy Coated Custom Show) and recently I ran across a sweet piece he did for Peter Kato's Bedtime Bunnies show at MPH. In addition to being a talented musician, Teru is pretty much a mechanical genius. All of his pieces feature moving parts, electronics, and sometimes sounds or music. Lots of buttons, switches, doors. It's all drawn out by schematics beforehand, and then handcrafted, part by part. It's... pretty fucking intense. Look at the parts below for Air Bass Robo:

 This is a animatronic, music-playing robot. Teru never duplicates his work, so this is a one-off.  Click here to visit Teru's Behance page dedicated to this piece. Definitely an artist to follow there.

REMINDER: Arsenal of Artists No Toon Left Behind Show at Suburban This Saturday Aug 15

The landscape of childhood has changed. Those of us fortunate enough to grow up raised by the glow of the TV set on Saturday Mornings as we watched our favorite cartoon characters - must never forget those wonderful times. Saturday morning was our time. Our time to grab our favorite bowl of cereal and sit quietly as we watched - suspending our disbelief even if it were for just a few hours. We must remember those days of old. We must reach down and recount the many stories that made us laugh and cry. We owe it to this new generation. The Arsenal of Artists has gathered once again. We will raise our voices and recall our memories leaving no Toon behind!



Playful Gorilla and Cash Cannon Proudly Presents The Arsenal of Artists "No Toon Left Behind!" A group art tribute show remembering Saturday morning cartoons. The Arsenal of Artists follow up show will once again take place at the Suburban Vinyl Art Gallery in Waldwick NJ on August 8th, 2015 between 4pm - 9pm. "No Toon Left Behind" will feature the BIGGEST lineup of the summer! An unbelievably roster of talented artists ranging from toy artists to customizers, from digital illustrators to 3d artists. Each participating artist will bring original artwork with a cartoony twist throwing back to their favorite childhood memories.


The Arsenal of Artist is fortunate enough to have the amazing support of the community at large. A special thank you goes out to this shows sponsors who have graciously donated a wide arrange of items to be raffled off at the show. From nerd boxes to tattoos; from vinyl toys to 3d printed swag - our sponsors are a cut above the rest.

Are You Ready for the My Little Pony Movie?

Hasbro is partnering with Lionsgate to bring its My Little Pony franchise to the big screen.

The news comes just a month after the partners also announced plans for a live-action film based on Hasbro's Monopoly board game.

Meghan McCarthy, writer and producer for the "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" animated series will pen the screenplay, which will be produced by Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures.

The film, which will be Hasbro’s first animated feature, will be distributed and marketed globally (except in China) by Lionsgate, and Tony and Emmy award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth has already been tapped to voice one of the characters.

“We are thrilled to expand the My Little Pony story to the big screen, and take these beloved characters on a new and unexpected journey that will delight fans of all ages,” says Stephen Davis, chief content officer, Hasbro. “It’s an honor to add Kristin Chenoweth to the cast as the voice of an all new, never-before-seen My Little Pony character in the film. Her incredible Broadway and silver screen performances in 'Wicked, 'Glee' and many more make her the perfect fit for this animated, musical adventure.”

In the movie, a new dark force threatens Ponyville, and the Mane 6 must embark on a journey beyond Equestria to save their home.

“We are pleased to partner with Hasbro to bring their brands to audiences in new and exciting ways,” says Erik Feig, co-president, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “Meghan McCarthy and the My Little Pony cast are a very talented and cohesive team whom we’re happy to be working with, and we’re excited about the addition of the very talented Kristin Chenoweth, as we explore new aspects of these characters and new story opportunities for the franchise.”
