A few weeks ago was the Canadian Interational Auto Show (CIAS). The show was pretty amazing, seeing all the new concept cars and displays. I was contacted by Candice & Alison (www.candiceandalison.com) to be part of the MINI display area. Candice & Alison were commissioned by MINI to design and produce the Canadian launch of the MINI Beachcomber concept car at the 2010 Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS). The theme concept was a 1950's Beach Tailgate Party which included Pin up style models with era inspired costumes. Adding to the beach party theme, Candice & Alison approached me to have Lil'G (mini boombox) accompany the models showcasing the display area. Everything went amazing, the MINI Beachcomber - concept car was very well received. The models (Jon, Vlada and Caitlyn) were all decked out in their beach wear and looked the part of 50s beach babes and dude. With Lil'G at their side as they showed off the new car from MINI.

This is a busy week for sure, MINI has asked to use my Boombox in their new car display at the auto show this weekend, It's a really nice new car (the beach comber). Some models in poka dot bikinis will be walking around with with Lil'G as part of their "beach theme". I've attached pics of the new colours for Lil'G, as to match the new MINI. I also had to remake the back section for it to be a "fully working" prototype. So now there is a slot for your Ipod to fit in the backside area.

It's a four day event with lots of attention from the press, bloggers, car enthusiasts the general public. So wish me luck!! I'll also be sneaking a peak at the Nissan display... I hope they have a sweet Cube display!

Well I've been a bad boy not posting this past little while. It's been amazingly busy lately trying to get things off the ground. I quit my job in the toy industry as a Rep to create my own product. It's a designer Boombox for your MP3 player. Acting like speakers when you attach your personal music player. It's designed to look like a mini version of the Boombox from the 80's. I have a huge love for those giant Boomboxes that I just had to create my own.

Right now I'm busy organizing this with manufacturing in China and possibly here in Toronto. It's a huge process creating something from paper, to 3D model, to prototype and the way to a final product. There's plenty of small details that pop up and need attanetion. But in the end it's my dream to create my own designer product and get it into stores.

My website has been updated and so has my facebook fanpage if anyone is interested in learning more. Feel free to take a look and make comments or suggestions. Currently I'm looking for finacning and possibly investors to help with the cost. Everything else is pretty much laid out regarding shops on-line and off.
