Blog Moved Back!

We were over here for the last year: www.akumuink.com/blog

But since I've changed over to Wordpress, Blogger has updated their whole look to fit our needs better. I also came back because I felt so alone over on Wordpress. Hopefully we'll get more interaction/comments in here.

Japanese Hardcore Band

Last night I couldn't sleep so I was determined to get something done that I've been wanting to do for a long time. Find some new Japanese music that was heavier than what I've previously heard in the whole JRock/Visual Kei scene. As that didn't translate to the heaviness I am used to with American hardcore. Check it out this band is called CrossFaith.

Why Are You Screaming?

Ooh! I really like the new look to Freddy. I really like how he speaks improperly due to the burns on his face. As much as I hated Transformers, Michael Bay knows some great editors that make all his trailers look pretty awesome. Don't F this up please.

"Hopeless" Akumu Ink Comic Strip

I've been working on this for the past few days trying to get it just right. Dora and I went to Dim Sum this weekend with some great friends who keep mentioning that we should make an Akumu Ink book. Although that's ways a way, I was inspired to do this little comic strip featuring our The Storm and Lost Soul characters. Let me know if you like this :)

This is a photo Dora took while waiting in the car as I was picking up something from American Apparel's warehouse.

1,000 Facebook Fans

Last month we celebrated our 2 year anniversary as well as reaching 1,000 fans on Facebook! Quite exciting to see how far we got in only 2 years. It's been a crazy ride and we expect a lot more as we go forward. I am working on a bunch of new projects all Akumu related. Finishing up those huge canvases, working on sourcing new Akumu products that you would love as much as we would, and creating a new line within Akumu Ink which will be a lot of fun when that launches. So for now enjoy the newest 1" pins to add to your collection.
