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.
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. It is worrying how quickly things descend into chaos.

At Designer 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.
For the show I have created: The Expanded Clockwork Lotus.
A complex “exploded model” version of the dragon in the style of a Victorian teaching aid.
A slight departure from my usual style, but very much in keeping with my aesthetic.
