Maion, resonating through the meaning of “angel of Self-Discipline”; this form of pure strength
and organic harmony-flow through waves of design, inspiration and structure.
Maion inspires self-control by working hard. Through self-control; creation, harmony, and discipline
form a trinity of strength and self-discipline, unbreakable yet fragile. A soulful spirit, to emulate and
revere through the eyes of the universe.
I really need to ask Danny Roldan how much time he spends on his customs. The detailing is always so precise. What I love most about this munny submission is the underlying faint splash of pink on the back side. It can be missed easily as the multitude of patterns take center stage. But once spotted, one can only grin and think how brilliant the placement is.

Towards the middle of month, its like a scheduled task that I venture off to the Kidrobot forum. For the month of June, two releases piqued my interest. First we have French graf artist, Mist’s 3 inch series labeled Debilz. The collection consists of 11 pieces plus a chase figure. Next, we have the fourth installment of the DIY Munnys. Color ways once again include white, black and glow in the dark. But the random accessories are what sets the 4th series apart. This time around, you could score a toupee, cape or goatee on your DIY Munny. The Mist 3 inch series figures will be released on June 12th at $7.95 each. And the DIY Munny will be available the week after for $24.95. With the new accessories, I may finally give into customizing my own Munny. Make the leap to see Munny Series 4.

Here is a custom newspaper Munny project by an artist named Eric. This piece really piques my interest since the artist opted out of using super sculpey, marker or paint. The aforementioned are now considered standard tools in customizing vinyl art. Eric may be quite busy to do commissions, but I’d like one myself.

When it comes to art nowadays, the medium bares no boundaries. Optikmass is a visual communications and design studio. They also produce urban vinyl art. With that said, the above image is the efforts of Danny Roldan of Optikmass. Danny actually sent me several pics of two visually stunning munnys. One goes by the name Taura and another, Kokoro. Of the two, Kokoro has a “character” feel to it. Although, both have complex fractal shapes, I can’t help but think of mushi matter from the anime, Mushi Shi. Make the leap to the back for more images. And if you’re interested in commission work, please feel free to contact Danny. Image Source: Optikmass Continue Reading
