This time I have an upgrade to my Booth with all new display systems for my Mechtorians and Copper Creeps.
I also have a prominent launch of a large new vinyl piece planned. More details on that to come very soon.
For the first time at Designer Con I will have a small selection of customised Dunnys available.
Each one is a unique Mechtorian character, finished to the same standard as any of my gallery show pieces.
So swing by booth number 114 this weekend and add a Doktor A custom to your collection.
$180 each. One per customer. First come first served.
Once again it’s time to head to sunny Pasadena for Designer Con, the largest “Art-Toy” and “Art Collectibles” show in the USA. This year there will be over 350 vendors and 150 artists at the show.
I will be there again on booth number 114 right inside the main door of the Ballroom (the same place as last year). This year I will have some unique custom toys available, an expanded range of Copper Creeps, prints, pins and a selection of Mechtorian toys and merchandise.
Please do drop buy and say hello. I will be happy to sign and doodle for you in you bring something along.
This is a two day event on November the 19th and 20th.
Tickets and a helpful interactive floor-plan are available now on their website.

I will also be part of their exciting Pin Scavenger Hunt. Visit the six booths involved and purchase a pin from each booth to get the FREE Designer Con pin at the end. Only 100 of each pin are available so don’t hang about.
So yes, this does mean a new Mechtorian pin. (see picture below.)

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.
6″ x 8″ (image size 4.5″ x 7″ ) $15 each.. Signed and Numbered by Doktor A.
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.
