Ok I have just booked tickets for a flying visit to London.
Not been since 2005 if you can believe that..

I will be there just 24 hours for a release party for a new “Dunny” toy range I have a couple of designs in (Including a Rupture piece and a Greenman….pics coming real soon).

The do is in the “Wonder room” at Selfridges on Oxford street (Bond Street end if i recall correctly) on Thursday 22nd Jan from 5pm to about 8pm ish I believe…
Its open to the public and the area that is being set up for the show by Kidrobot (the New York company running the gig), will stay up for about a month..

So come on down and join in the shinanigans, meet lots of artists, look at the art and the toys, maybe buy something, maybe get some freebies.

There are whispers of an afterparty and I know Kidrobot do like to throw big flash events so who knows what they have planned… Not me for sure..

My latest work of art.
A long term project and collaborative work-in-progress with my wife..

Maximilian Thorn Whistlecraft.
Born after much drama on the 4th of December at 6.10pm

He is the Arch-grumbleduke, with a wicked little gleam in his eye.
Equal parts goblin and future pirate king…

An exclusive version of Stephan LePodd will be available from the Vinyl Toy Network show in Pasadena on the 6th or 7th of December.
The “Gentlemen’s Club” edition is a brass and Burgundy red version of Stephan sporting a Fez rather than his top hat.

The edition size is only 100 with the majority of that amount available for purchase at the show.
The retail will be $79.99 each.
They will be available on both days of the show until they sell out. If any are left after the show they will be available online from 3D Retro  (  http://www.3dretro.com )

All the show details are on their website.   http://www.vinyltoynetwork.com

After a long wait the first of the Mechtorian toys will soon be available.
Stephan LePodd stands just over 8 inches tall and comes packaged in a beautiful collectors gift box with numbered card.
Produced by MINDstyle only 300 figures are being released of this original “Sunday Best” version.
Look out for them in stores this December.
The suggested retail price is $79.99 USD.
