Quick and Painful

A friend of mine is organising a series of shows featuring Tattoo art meeting fine art.

Check out the site. Quick and Painful….

This reminded me that a couple of people had my artwork as tattoos…

I dont have any tattoos myself. I think about it now and then but never can settle on anything long enough to commit.
If you have a tattoo of my artwork please do send me a photo, I would love to see it.

Studio Sale This Friday!

I have been having a sort out in my studio and clearing through some cupboards and boxes and decided to sell off some of the stuff I have knocking around.

Most of it is from my work pre art-toy days. Older sculpture work in various forms from finished display pieces to resin “Kit”characters, jewellery and whatnot.
There will be some original sculpts, toy prototypes and  general bargains.

Stop by my online store this Friday ( 5th August ) at 6pm UK time and pick up something unique.

Creepy little Spayd

A quick snap I took in my studio last night of my Amanda Spayd piece.
She was looking delightfully creepy so I took a moment to capture it so I could share.

Arbuthnot Wince – The Poisoner –

Arbuthnot Wince  – The Poisoner –


It was originally supposed that Mechtorians could not be harmed by the effects of poison due to their mechanical nature. However Arbuthnot accidentally discovered the unusual side effects from application of small amounts of toxic venom distilled from the spittle of his pet, an indigenous beast he called Rupture. He discovered that his unsuspecting fellow robots could indeed be paralysed for prolonged periods of time. So like the state of death was this paralysis that he was concerned his victims would be buried or dismantled in error. He continues to research and stockpile poisons for his own entertainment. One day he may even use them…
