<span class="s1">Giant Robot’s GR2 Gallery to host <i>Cones of Vision</i>, a group show of six friends from CalArts, curated by alum painter and animator, Mari Inukai. Walt Disney, who trained his first animators at what would later become CalArts said, “If you keep busy, your work might lead you into paths you might not expect... What young artists need is a school where they can learn a variety of skills, a place where there is cross-pollination.”</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Almost fifteen years later, this exhibit reunites talents of fine art, animation, writing, and design. Artists include Bruce Richards, Elizabeth Ito, Rami Kim, Pendleton Ward, Christopher Wood, and Mari Inukai. The title of the show is a throwback to Bruce’s course title at CalArts, that Mari attended, teaching perspective is what the viewer sees without distortion from the artist’s point of view.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Bruce, joining us from NY, was a professor of Perspective, Composition, and Color Theory 1996-2002, participated in museum shows from MoMA to Sezon, and collected by numerous museums across California. Elizabeth, a LA local, helps make movies and TV shows for companies like Disney, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network, just to name a few. Rami, maker of sculptures and functional ceramics influenced by her background in animation, works in her own studio in Glendale. Pendleton (aka Pen), created animated series from <i>Bueno the Bear</i> to <i>Adventure Time</i>, writes, storyboards, executive produces, and story consults. Christopher Wood is an instructor at CalArts, teaching Life Drawing, Illustration, Character Design and Zbrush.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Mari draws, paints, animates, creates products, and designs clothes. She has shown art at various galleries including GR2 for many years and curated <i>Momo</i> there in 2018 exhibiting works of Audrey Kawasaki, Amy Sol, Stella Im Hultberg, and herself.</span></div>

I started activate really early morning today, well it is habit I wake up around 6 am everyday,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I went to bed around 2 am last night, so I just slept 4 hours,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and made my coffee, and then I started working on customizing an Ugly doll,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and after that it happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
right after I started feeling awake,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed to do was making a serious pitch pack,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wow, I have been just working as a graphic designer, for more than 2years, and so my head and eyes were like seriously (@__@) kind of look like this, you know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then I tried working on, it was exciting time yet I was not so fast to get in the world, a lot of thinking, more like too much thinking, and then I was not able to visualize anything cool,, and so I asked Sena, and she woke me up! (she is talented, yeah you know, her idea was really fresh and cool and so I got jealous serious, am I bad?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I started visualizing,,, took so long time...to come up with the idea, but while I started enjoying it, I needed to stop, in order to fix weird look from my videos, I needed to look for old files and tried to fix, but somehow I was not able to do so, it was around 4pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then I finished up making first base for the Ugly doll, and then put the first graze on a painting which I am working on so long time yet not finish.<br />
<br />

I am really glad and happy that some people already ordered and got them without seeing or holding them in person. <br /><br />I was thinking long time about creating figurines of my characters with transparent form, the idea is something that I have been always fascinated to capture or create in my art work. I have been seeing some transparent figurines out there from long time ago, so I know it is possible to make, but I wanted to put a floating heart in every each one. <br /><br />Having a floating object inside of a figurine — technically it was a big challenge nobody had done before — at least I believe for sure that it was first time to try for the artists at <span style="font-style:italic;">Heroine International Limited</span> where my <span style="font-style:italic;">Sekaiseifukudan</span> were produced. And they really tried, so much talent, so many methods, and so much time. <span style="font-style:italic;">Sekaiseifukudan</span> is made by hard plastic and silicon filled, so the heart can float in the body, which nobody could achieve before or wanted to because of the expense. But producer Mike Watson at <span style="font-style:italic;"> Inner Sanctum</span> believed in me and all my ideas, so he agreed to make them how I wanted. And of course, as an artist I was really picky.<br /><br />Because of their unique designs, not only materials, but also coloring materials, and painting on each of them, it was a really big manufacturing challenge. Being really picky about color and texture and so many things, it took a long time and a big effort to make them look<span style="font-weight:bold;"> PERFECT</span><span style="font-weight:bold;">!</span><br /><br />And here they are, every each one is so carefully made and packed in a beautiful custom designed black box, ready to be held in someone's hands.<br /><br />I am really grateful to Mike Watson and Rachel Stone at<span style="font-style:italic;"> Inner Sanctum</span> and all the people who are still working at <span style="font-style:italic;">Heroine International Limited</span> for making one of my biggest dreams come true! Jack Muramatsu, your photographs and posts have been really helping me out. Thank you so much <span style="font-style:italic;">Vinyl Pulse</span>! Eric Nakamura, thank you so much for your support. I am really happy to be able to have release event at <span style="font-style:italic;">Giant Robot</span>!<br /><br />Thank you to all, and all your support!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Mari Inukai<br /><br /><a href="http://www.giantrobot.com/gr2/mari_inukai_figures_presale/">Sekaiseifukudan Presale open now!</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWXLhVJz6uM18YgJs-ct0ZQj-8eXniUXAV9JEYugmdBp1RXXJL1pKyc0KKijkdQuLQ7KcH5czuGHLVVKc3wJMuqqzleLH2VJpG8wxykW4R-V7YV_gaakNenZbOESwJR1zzVyOYw/s1600/box.jpg"><img style="display:block;
