I've been messing around all morning trying to get the flash gallery to embed in the gallery page with no luck. So, to save my sanity i've made it open in a new window. If you go into the Personal Galleries section you can now click on my Gallery button to see the test version.

Hopefully i can get it to work in the normal page soon. Fingers crossed!

No photo with this update (but there will be a couple soon). All Punishers have been finished, only boxes to make now and they will be ready for sale. I'm really pleased with them and there will be a photo shoot of the lot of them happening when all the boxes are made up.

Also, I've been cranking out some D.I.Y. Blanks and I'm very near the 10 mark for those as well. So I will start Gocco printing the header cards tomorrow hopefully and bagging the lil' buggers up and making the sale button live on the Ozzelorium page. :o)

So, just a quick update but one with some good progress news I think.

Check back for some more photos, Oo and the galleries are still in the works and will be all spangly and flash. Exciting! :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Porlzilla.com

Hope everyone has had a brilliant christmas and getting up to some good stuff for new years!

Jon and I have been having ideas meetings/chats and there is some brilliant stuff on the horizon from our little collaboration. We really can't wait to start experimenting with dare i say it, some new characters!? :D

And the very near future i.e. the start of 2008 the Punisher Version of the Ozzel will be going on sale shortly followed by the Monochrome version.

So keep your eyes peeled here for some regular updates.

Have a good one! We certainly will be!

I've just changed the homepage to run of blogger software so hopefully it will be easier to post up news and edit it about the world of the Ozzels.

Lets see if it all runs smoooothly. :o)

It looks a litle scruffy at the mo but I'll be trying to repair the template i hacked up to make it look like the original homepage.

I spotted earlier that Vinyl Abuse had put up the website for the custom toy exhibition they are running. It's for the worlds endangered species called : Limited Edition and guess who's on the artists list?! You got it! Me (Porl''). So there will be some Ozzels in attendance for the show. Woop!
Click on the image below to go check out the Limited Edition website to get more details.

Hope to see some of you guys there in March 2008. :o)

A bit of retrospective news here but i didnt want it to go un-reported. I was interviewed about our Ozzels by on November 22nd and it turned out great. I was asked about how we came about making the Ozzel in the first place, what my influences are etc and there are a load of photos of different prototype colourways and our first casting attempts. Check it out if you interested in the Ozzels, hopefully it will be a good read for you guys. :o)

Also, Daan who runs the website bought the first ever Ozzel sold. Punisher number 2 and he received it today. He loves the little guy! Which is brilliant news and makes us proud to hear people loving our toys.

Check out the website if your interested in D.I.Y. designer toys. It reports on toys like the Ozzel, made by normal peeps like us in our kitchens / bedrooms / garages for the love of making your toy ideas a reality. Read through the interviews on there, the people interviewed so far are great inspirations to us. And there is an extensive list of links for other designers as well as tutorials on how to get started on your own toy.

Click the image below to bounce to our interview and then take a nose around the rest of the site.

Well here it is, finally! After having the web space for a couple of years and doing nothing but making splash pages there is finally a website here at PORLZILLA.COM. A website actually worth while as well (in our opinions (Jon and Me)), a place to showcase and sell our first designer toy : The Ozzel's.

After nearly half a year we are very close to getting some production (produced by our own fair hands) versions ready for sale. Starting with The Punishers, which you can see in the Ozzelorium and if you like the little fella's you can purchase one. But you might have to be quick as these are very limited as there will only be 10 of them.

Anyway, have a look around the site and hopefully you will like what you see and come back to see what other versions of The Ozzel's we come up with.

Thanks for looking. :o)
