Congrats, Frankie!

Frank always gave me headaches whenever he want to do something “different”. It was like that since like 5 years ago. There were the 48 one-of-ones “I,WZL” figures, and then there was the 2-meters tall “Perk Pioneer“, etc, etc. Forget about pushing the envelope, I think Frank’s mission was simply to push ME.

Our usual conversation would go something like this:
Frank: How tall is this?
Me: 9cm.
Frank: I think this will look awesome if is bigger!
Me: …okay,… how big?
Frank: 2 meters.
Me: you @#@$%$@ kidding me, rite?
Frank: No. How long do you need?
Me: ….ah shit…

Frank: What’s the minimum if I give you a new graphic design to be put on this?
Me: Depends if its a single-stamp graphic or something messy like a camo.
Frank: Hmmm… let say a camo.
Me: To make it worth your while, I’d suggest 1000 pieces.
Frank: Ok. I’ll give you 48 designs.
Me: 48 designs??
Frank: Yes, but I only need one of each.
Me: you @#@$%$@ kidding me, rite?
Frank: No. How long do you need?
Me: ….ah shit…

You get the picture…..

A few months ago, another one of those emails arrived, with Frank’s name attached to it, and I knew, that very moment, “ah shit….”

After reading that email, however, my reply was short and simple: “OKAY”.

A sculpture, 7″ tall, the character involves a dragon and a rooster. Symbolic to Frank being born at the year of the rooster, and his new bride, Kim, being born in the year of the dragon. The character was designed for the two’s wedding event in Germany. And for Frank to always remember he can always have his ways when it comes to 3D sculptures, he wanted to have this character (no official name still) available to give to the guests attending to his big day with Kim.

How could I say no to this dear friend?

70 pieces produced, 2-piece rotocasted sculpture, Frank has successfully pushed adFunture into the business of producing wedding premiums. Thank you, Frank. Once again, you did it.

All kidding aside, it was our absolute pleasure having these at your wedding.
My sincere wishes to you and Kim.
I’ll see you soon in JP.
