Some studio shots of the Verdegris edition Mooncalf.

Humphrey Mooncalf had a reoccurring problem with his Travithick No. 4 Nano-clockwork brain.
Repeated trips to the watch-smith proved a great success.
The pain held at bay by loosening his cranial rivets.
This however means that he can no longer look up.
Such a shame, as he does so love the moon.

Coming VERY soon from Singapore based Pobber Toys as part of their “Clumsy Monster” range.
Humphry Mooncalf is a rotomolded Mechtorian vinyl figure standing 8″ tall.
He has a removeable cranium and brain as well as a key and articulated neck joint.
Shown above is the “Verdegris” version. One of several different edition which will be available.

More info soon.

Gyroscopic, Non-Ornamental Mechanised Excavator
Originally created to excavate the labyrinthine tunnel system for Retropolis’s underground pneumatic railway, the G.N.O.M.Es have proven themselves useful for many other tasks. Currently employed on an ambitious continent to continent sub sea corridor project. The peculiarly hard ocean floor rocks have begun to give them headaches. Several of them intend taking some time off when it is over and plan a little jaunt to the centre of the planet for a vacation.

The second volume of Kidrobot’s compendium of Art Toys has recently been released.
It’s a veritable who’s who of underground toy based art.
And I am happy to announce several pages of this splendid volume are dedicated to my humble works.

You can pick it up from most good bookshops and of course online.
