I hate Batman. DIAF.

That is all.

So update about the raidS and proof this isn't April Fools:

Apparently it was part of this:

They didn't just bust #6 immediately next to us last night, they also busted #8 which was the bigger asshole of the two. They're supposedly cousins.
(All last summer, we ( Read more... )

It's 2AM, still up...

Oh, another police raid went down around midnight.  This time on Unit 6, next door to us. Again full armor and swat gear, battering ram, etc.  No smoke grenades this time though so no fire alarm thankfully.

Just sitting here, then suddenly *BANG* as they battered down unit 6's door and lots of screaming in the hallway, poked out ( Read more... )

So to make it short, here's a highlight list of what we've done since January.

-made a few sculptures and prosthetics: stargate aliens, rat nose, mascot foot bottom.
-finishing 3 sleepers.
-we bought yet another air compressor, a DeWalt one with a 15 gallon tank, since our last one, the Motomaster one, was a lemon.
-we adopted two cats, see kippofur  's post ( Read more... )

For now though I wanted to mention to those who have orders with us,  we decided to start a separate livejournal for NorthFur which I intend to update daily with progress on orders and commissions

Since I've had a few people ask about AC now, I wanted to post about it.

No, we're not making it to AC,  it's just not worth all the hassle and struggle.

After what happened in previous years, we'd have to:
1. ship everything to someone reliable in the US well before the con
2. arrange to have them bring it to us/to the con.
3. either get temporary ( Read more... )

Seriously... who the hell mails a laptop keyboard in a bubble mailer and NOT a box...

http://northfur.ca/keyboard/

We wanted this keyboard for kippo's laptop this weekend for Anime North.
Why the hell did this idiot seller send it in a bubble mailer?? It has a freaking 45 degree bend in it and key are off, it's completely useless.

We'll be sending this ( Read more... )

We've been pretty busy for the past while.

Many of our moulds have been wearing out as we've been running more and more copies from them. So we've found ourselves having to re-sculpt them more often. But now we've started making silicone masters of the new sculptures, so we won't have to spend so much time re-making worn out pieces.
So we've ( Read more... )

We've been pretty busy, as usual, never a dull moment.

The past 2 weeks we've been working non-stop on a large order for 11 hoods, 11 tails, 10 paw sets, 11 painted prosthetics and 10 spat/shoe cover sets for a production of The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. It was pretty massive, 2 beavers, Aslan, 3 wolves, a panther, a deer, a unicorn, a fox ( Read more... )
