I had not an inkling that I would win this. Not with such a strong line up of such amazingly talented finalists as this year had.
It was a wonderful surprise to even be nominated.
But to win…….
Still hasn’t sunk in..
Thank you so much to those on the panel that put me forward and who choose the outcome.
It really is humbling to be recognized by your peers in such a way.
To know that all that work, obsessiveness, and worry do add up to something that touches people is truly uplifting.
Thank you to all my collectors, fans and followers.
I love what I do and because of you I can do it for living.
Support my family and create my dreams.. it doesn’t get much better that that..

Reggie loves a good starched collar! The stiffer the better! So firm it rubs the top layer of paint off his neck and polishes his metal to a shine. It hurts like hell…. But he also loves a stiff upper lip.

Bradley likes to observe the world. He sits in the park and soaks up the bustle of life around him. The ebb and flow, The chitter and clatter, The nuts and blots of it all. One day he may write a book about what he has witnessed. But for now he is quite happy to just observe.

Toy Con is here again, for it’s 7th year. Back at its previous venue of the York Hall in Bethnal Green London on the 30th & 31st of March.
This year I have a ton of new painted resin editions, some customised toys and a special mini Dunny edition to share with you. See the following posts for all the details.
I also have a different booth placement this year. Booth number 32. One block towards the door from previous years. Opposite the awesome Muju World.
Pop over to the official website to book your tickets. I will see you all there.
For the duration of January I am adding a little extra to purchases from my online store!
As a way of saying thank you for your support – and an injection of positive vibes for the start of the new year, any purchase of £25 or more will receive a FREE GIFT.
Just make your purchase from my store as usual and the gift will be added at the packing stage.
Tit for tat – Hat. Get ahead! Get a hat! In this case literally. In Mechtoria any object from a building to an item of clothing may in fact be a sentient person with their own opinions and desires. So putting together a harmonious outfit may take on an entirely different meaning.
For Designer Con I have created a very limited hand painted edition of just 10 pieces of each of the three new Tall Titfer characters.
Each figure comes with a real solid cast metal key.
There is the Teal Topper, Emerald Bowler and Red Fez.
Each will be only $50.
A small number will be available on Preview night.
The rest will be open for sale at the main door time.
Any remaining after the show will be offered online.
It’s once again time for Designer Con! This year in the new bigger venue of Anaheim Convention Centre in Orange County California.(Right next-door to Disney land).

This year with the exclusive preview night on the Friday for VIP badge holders only.
I will have my full booth (number 300, over by Medicom) And lots of great new releases. Please follow this blog and by other social media feeds for more details.
It’s going to be huge! So don’t miss out.
