Hanumanomi Custom Omi

Created for “FACES OF INDONESIA” AN OMI DIY CUSTOM CONTEST”, I've titled the piece HANUMANOMI (DOCILE) / HANUMANOMI (ENRAGED). Like a coin, the two Omi's are presented back to back. The design is inspired by images of HANUMAN, the Hindu Monkey God. Though I have no idea what Hanuman’s roll is as a deity, I love rich visual language of the Hindu religion. It’s very inspiring.
The name itself is simply the mash up of the names, "Hanuman" and "Omi".
Presented by : Plastic Culture, Munky King, and Damn! I Love Indonesia.

A Second Round of Production Omi's

Here's a sneak peak at the "turnarounds" I just finished of a second production Omi for Munky King. Inspired by my painting "The Monkey King", the design is based on the makeup design for the Monkey King as featured in classic Chinese opera.



As you can see, I have two different designs. The gold and red version is intended do be a San Diego ComicCon / Munky King exclusive. The "original" version was designed to be a part of the second series of Omi's. I'd like this "original" version to include a ring crown, similar to the crown featured in the painting I created.


NOTE: I'd appreciate it if we avoided reposting this image on any other art/toy blogs and sites. I just wanted to share this with my fans who actually read this blog. Also, the design has NOT been approved yet, but hopefully it'll work out. Thanks for understanding!

Omi (Series 1) Artist Series

Thursday, March 3rd 2011, Munky King will be releasing the Omi (series 1) Artist Series. Contributing artists include Buff Monster, Luke Chueh, Ferg, Nathan Jurevicius, Frank Kozik, Munky King, Dave Pressler, Greg Simkins, and Yoskay Yamamoto. The above image is the design we chose to use for the series. For the release party, Series 1 artists were asked to customize a wall of Omi's (9 Omi's per wall). Though I'm not sure how many of the artists actually did one, this is my contribution for the show.

ONE OF THESE OMI'S IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS
