It’s carnage over at my Online Store RIGHT NOW.
In order to make way for the incoming final Bella DelaMere edition, the previous versions prices have been SLASHED!
They are all ON SALE.
All prices CUT!
If you have been thinking about picking up one of these lovelies then now is the time to act.. ( And dont forget the Ello money off code too…)
To celebrate the move to it’s new permanent web address my online store has had a total makeover.
The freshly renamed “Mechtorian Emporium” is now much more mobile device friendly and offers a wider range of items with more photos and an easier to navigate interface.
Follow Doktor A on Instagram, Ello and Facebook for discount codes for the new store as well as regular tidbits, work in progress shots and updates.
This marks the first phase of the upgrades rolling out for all the Doktor A online resources. Over the next few months expect to see renovated and improved websites and blog.
This coming Saturday 24th January sees the opening of the 5th yearly “Conjoined” dimensional art show at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica California. Curated by the amazing artist Chet Zar, Conjoined showcases sculptors and makers from around the world, many of w whom do not regularly show in galleries.
I am once again honoured to be a part of this astonishing show.
Come along to the opening at 8pm and have a look at mine and all the other amazing works.
The show is then open until the 14th of February.

Spookypop.com is dead..
The end of an era for me.
It was the first site I set up when my gallery/store Arkham closed its doors ten years ago.
Spookypop was my experimental online world where I explored my artistic leanings. It mutated through many versions and themes from purple to teal to sepia and eventually spawned the Mechtorians who moved to their own site and have been the focus of my work for the best part of the decade.
Spookypop saw the birth of my first hand made toys, the Podlings and the Poddyville mini series as well as my first customised vinyl toys.
But the name is no longer relevant to what I do. I am neither very Spooky or very Pop… So a new site under my own name is born to house my non Mechtorian work.
This is not the end of my art.. far from it, just the closing of one now redundant online arm of it.
I thank everyone who has visited Spookypop over the years and enjoyed my musings there. I hope you will continue to follow me in my ever evolving art adventure.
For links to all my online activity please visit my About Page.
Last event of the year that I will be vending at.
I will have a full convention table of toys, art and merchandise available.
“STEAMPUNK SURGICAL SPIRIT”
a Christmas Market, at The Thackray Medical Museum, Leeds, UK.
Running time of the event is from 11am – 5pm on Sunday 7th December.
The museum itself opens at 10 so you can visit the exhibitions or go in the cafe until we are.
Please bear with us as we move everything from spookypop.com to BruceWhistlecraft.com
Introducing Colonel Rombus “Pewter” edition.
Launching at Designer Con comes a new edition of the popular Colonel Rombus character.

Sculpted by Doktor A and hand cast and antiqued in England by Baroque Designs.
Within the edition run there are randomly hidden a handful of “Chase” versions of the Colonel. Where the regular version has a green eye, the chase versions have a purple eye.
The edition is of only 25 pieces.
The first 15 will be available from the Doktor’s booth ( 416 ) at Designer Con. With the remaining amount available from his online store a little later. (When he gets back to the UK)

An exclusive mini print of “Sebastian Whittler” will be available from my booth at Designer Con on the 8th -9th of November at the Pasadena convention centre.
Pop on down to booth number 416 to pick up one of only 25 signed and numbered prints of this Toy making Retrobot.

Renown throughout the land for their marvellous toys, Sebastian is one half of the famous Whittler brothers.
He works miniature mechanical miracles with whatever comes to hand. Creating curious characters and fantastical clockwork facies for the discerning collector.
He has the sense when he works that he is breathing a little bit of his soul into each of his creations.
An odd idea as they are, after all only clockwork.
Toy clockwork.
Not real living clockwork like himself.
Stumpy Warburton “Mourning” edition will be released exclusively at Designer Con in Pasadena on November the 8th & 9th.
There will be ONLY 20 of these 2″ tall resin figures, each hand painted by Doktor A.
