I stumbled upon Jocelyn Teo’s miniature artwork a while back when I was browsing through Den of Angels’ commission subforums. I was awed at the amount of detail and realism she puts into every little thing she creates. It’s just… mind-blowing. They look so yummy and so real and you almost want to eat them, but then you realize that’s a Pukifee holding the tart! Amazing. I’m glad and honored that she took some time to answer some questions for my little blog! Read more

Thanida, better known as Turbow, is one of the toy photographers I admire the most. I first discovered her work through her photos of Danbo, but what made me a fan of hers was her BJD photography. In fact, her girls are part of the reason why I wanted a BJD of my own! Read more

One of the draws of the BJD hobby is the customization. The same sculpts can look startlingly different if you use different wigs, eyes and clothes. But what gives a doll its identity the most is their face-up. Propertyoftheuchiha, better known as Anj to her peers, is one such artist. I’m lucky to know her personally through our local BJD community, ManikaManila. In our interview, she shares her experience and advice about face-ups and the hobby in general. It’s a little lengthy, but I promise it’s a good read! Read the interview at my blog!
