So I am joining the ranks of Urban/Designer Vinyl toy designers out there in the world.

This is Doktor A.

Signing off……..

So the other day we went to visit the new Dr. Who exhibition on Brighton pier.
It sucked huge donkeys…. Very very bad KEEP AWAY… they have about 6 exhibits all from the new series with NO stuff from previous shows other than a few bries text printouts… You can walk round it in about 4 minutes and for £5 a head thats shocking… And the shop was rubbish too… so we had a big bag of Fairy floss to get a sugar rush….
Then we went to see Star Wars…. Was alright I suppose… some shockingly dodgy effects letting the generally pretty impressive effects down badly.. Some terrible dialogue and character/planet names… Some in your face anti Bush comments. And some very funny bits… Like Sidious’s forhead and comb-over hair style and Vader’s impression of Frankensein’s Monster….
I quite liked General Grevious but had spoilt his surprise attack for myself by looking at the toy before seeing the film. Also i suspect he regretted his choice of armour plating… (“note to self. next time use THICK METAL around vital parts not GLASS!” Duh!). All in all… not really any better than any of the others… (apart form part one which is un-watchable.)
I did however really really like the Forest camo clone/storm trooper’s gear.. It looked like they had let Frank Kozik design it for them..
I am moving house at the end of the week. My life is in boxes and it’s not much fun…
However today I did a long interview for website which is having me as Artist of the Month for June… More details later…
Today I added another FOUR PODDY pictures to the PODDYVILLE part of Spookypop.com (link above)
Two paintings and two digital.
Also some of my older artwork should be appearing soon on fliers for the JUDDER Industrial club in Cheltenham UK… check it out http://www.judder.org
So I am just returned from an epic trip to New Zealand.
It is very very far away..
I have been on 6 aircraft in the last 14 days… i am sick of aircraft.
An average trip length of about 10 hours each…. Not fun. Though i did get to watch most of the Pixar films again..
i am now truly timewarped (NZ time is 12 hours ahead of UK time) and it feels like i am walking on a boat… If this post make no sense i wouldnt be surprised!
I am starting the sort through a huge pile of Emails so if you mailed me in the last few weeks I will get to you soon…
More later!
After a week of intensive mouse pushing and tantrums the new improved Spookypop is online.
http://www.spookypop.com
Take a moment to peruse its curvy blue delights.
There are lots of new things to look at and a whole bunch more old things to look at in the archive section, which will be added to at fairly regular intervals.
Please feel free to let me know your thoughts on this extensive overhaul….
Enjoy!
