I have one and they are awesome.
Travis has hardly made a move into the dimensional arena but this piece shows what a great direction it is to go.

I will have a small amount of APs available from my online UK store in a few weeks.

They wont be around for long so go hunt one down whilst you can.

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.
