Solo Show Work Now Available

All the works in my solo show at Clutter Gallery are now available online for worldwide sales.

So this is your chance to add a serious piece of Mechtorian art to your fabulous collection.

The show is open to visit in person until September the 2nd at Clutter Gallery (163 Main St, Beacon, NY 12508, USA).

This is my first solo show on the East coast in almost a decade.

“The Future Ain’t What it Used to Be.” 
A retro-futuristic look back at how the present doesn’t quite deliver on the promises of the past. A tongue in cheek view of our own world through mechanical eyes from an alternative history.

In part this show represents my reaction to world events over the last few years.

You can view and purchase all the works here : doktor-a-solo-show

A Wave of Nostalgia

Where are the new ideas?
The original voices?
The fresh new styles?
Drowned out in a sea of regurgitation and repetition.
Struggling to get their voices heard before they are washed away in the ersatz creativity of popular culture.

When they agree and play in harmony the results are uplifting and beautiful.
But when they disagree. And are not on the same page.

Imperial Lotus Dragon Group Show at Dcon

ADesigner Con this year Broke Piggy will be hosting an amazing custom toy art show featuring the amazing Imperial Lotus Dragon vinyl toy created by Scott Tolleson.

From 12th -14th November at Anaheim Convention Centre in L.A. you can view the dragons at Booth No. 413. Sadly I cannot be in attendance this year.
