This year for Designer Con LA I have created a brand new mini edition customised art-toy.

Burkley Chiswick is a 2.5″ tall original Mechtorian creation based on the Rolitoland vinyl toy from Toy2R.
Each figure is hand customised by Doktor A  and comes with a cast metal winding key in a presentation round wooden box.

There are only six available. And they cost $150 each.

Come and add one to your collection at booth 735 at Designer con from the 18th-20th November at Anaheim Convention Centre.

“J. E. Branson”.
Travelling to the moon and beyond.
A pipe dream made real through the ingenuity and endeavours of geniuses.
Reaching further and learning more than ever before for science and robot kind!
But it just takes the super rich to hijack space travel and take it for a joyride.
Yee Ha!
Ride em cowboy!

An armchair critic!
Always willing to give his opinion on things of which he is unqualified to speak.
Though he “does his own research” he always reaches conclusions that match those he reads.
His cosy chair now rigged to stamp on the views of others. 
As he rides in comfort above the heads of “lesser” men.

Who he is you do not know.
But he tells you what is wrong with you.
He tells you what is good for you.
You hope he is sincere and does not have his own agenda.
Is his mask for protection or anonymity?
