Domo X MIMOBOT Q&A with Toyota

Listen to art director Lillian Chan recount the story of “Domo Mimobot.”

This was a fun Mimoco project with Toyota Yaris. Let’s say that it was challenging to find some quiet spaces around the office — competing with the train right outside my window was not fun. Oh yeah, and my many outfit and hairdo changes :P

Anyhow, go Domo and MIMOBOT!

Who Is the Strangest Of them All? Emily the Strange MIMOBOT!

She’s here! Emily the Strange, that paragon of independence and self-awareness is now a MIMOBOT® flash drive series!

After introducing our limited edition of 500 Emily the Strange MIMOBOT drives at San Diego ComiCon this past July we thought, “Wait! That can’t be it! We need MORE STRANGE!!!”

And so here we are, with 2 amazing designs, “People Are Strange” and “Save Yourself”, both available in up to 64GB capacities. These designs are all inspired by the individualism, determination, and do-it-yourself style that has made Emily the Strange so strangely awesome!

Say, “Hello!” to the new designs :) I think they came out looking great and stayed true to the character, which can be a challenge when working with the MIMOBOT form. Most of all, I love what Emily stands for — being true to yourself.

It was a great series to work on with creator Rob Reger and his team.

Mimoco designer Lisa Kurth took the lead on design. And the animation was created by Mimoco animator & 3D artist, Jon Straube.

Great work again by the Mimoco crew!

When it comes to USB drives, is it fun over function?

Yay — check out the designs I worked on that are featured on CNN’s Geek Out blog — Nerd Kitty Hello Kitty, Vintage Batman, and Han Solo with Carbonite Carrying Case!

When you are passionate about a franchise like “Star Wars” or “Batman” you can find ways to show your fandom in every part of your life: clothes, coffee cups, mouse pads, etc.

Mimoco has tapped into that with their line of Mimobot USB drives – available in several styles to meet many differing fandoms. Mimoco’s drives are some of the coolest out there, and they just released a new series licensed from Lucasfilm and DC Comics at San Diego Comic-Con.

On Character Designin’

the way a character design comes about is like…magic. it’s not necessarily the end — well, it is — but, it’s more about the point just right before it becomes what it becomes.
