Mini Nooka Nooka - Mad Barbarians

Created in 2006 as a manufacturing resource for artists and small companies, SOLID Industries, Inc. is a one-stop shop for getting high quality, limited edition products manufactured and delivered. Founded by Jeremy Madl (aka MAD) the company serves as a means to product a variety of his own products, but also as a service to his friends and commercial clients. SOLID allows him to not only offer the design and development end of a project, but the project management and manufacturing side as well. Going from a concept sketch all the way to a final product on a shelf is now possible. SOLID is also a work for hire resource, if a design is already done and is looking to be taken to the next level SOLID can help. Already working with several different clients on a variety of projects, we work one on one with each client to assure their input is injected throughout the process. The end result being a solid project that reflects the passion and hard work of all who helped bring it to market. Illustration / design unit comprised of Katsuya Saito and Masumi Ito. With “MAD, POP, ROCK, CUTE, and STUPID” as their main concept, they produce a wide range of designs and products with their original characters, such as figures, advertisements, CD covers, and more. The release of their “Gas Curry & Spice” figure gathered attention in which they began to attend various exhibitions and autograph sessions not only domestically, but also internationally. Their collaboration with Levi’s was a big hit and their most recent collaboration with Hello Kitty® has been a huge success in Japan, U.S. and in Europe. They aim world domination with MAD Characters! There is a realm we can not see, can not hear, can not taste nor smell, yet from this realm comes everything perceived as real. Within this higher dimensional place lives beings who call themselves what can only be transliterated as: Nooka. Their physiology is transient, eternal in their world, ephemeral yet immortal in ours – beyond imagination yet real enough to feel. Time is to them as carbohydrates are to us, and from this they poo carrots and kittens [or anything else you can request]. They pee gravity and what is the equivalent of light to them is dark matter in our universe. All that aside, the similarities in names drew the Nookas to Nooka Inc. and a trans-dimensional relationship was forged! Now the official mascot of Nooka Inc., the NookaNooka™ can spread the cheer of wonder-through-design [wtd™] to the 4 corners of the earth.
