Opening This Weekend, 13th of August (to September 2nd) at Clutter Gallery (163 Main St, Beacon, NY 12508, USA).
My first solo show on the East coast in almost a decade.
“The Future Ain’t What it Used to Be.” A retro-futuristic look back at how the present doesn’t quite deliver on the promises of the past. A tongue in cheek view of our own world through mechanical eyes from an alternative history.
In part this show represents my reaction to world events over the last few years.
I will be debuting some significant new original pieces. As well as a selection of smaller Mechtorian creations, resin multiples, customised toys and graphic artworks.

After a couple of years break in proceedings, once again ToyconUK will be taking place in London. And I will be in attendance.
At booth No.12 I will have the selection of original customised pieces pictured above. There will each be £200 or less.
As well as these I will have production toys, artwork and other merchandise. And I am always happy to doodle, answer questions and sign stuff.
Look out for some rare Thomas Nosuke Japanese Sofubi figures too.
On June 11th & 12th at its new venue of the Novotel London West Hotel in Hammersmith, toy makers from around the world will be converging to display and sell their works.
Tickets are available online. So pick up one for yourself and your friends and come along to join the art toy fun.
Currently season two of The Masked Singer is running on Swedish TV channel TV4. And there is a Mechtorian in the show!
The character and costume designer for the series Pelle Magnestam decided he wanted to use one of the heads from a Mechtorian character of mine. So Fremantle Sweden who produce the show worked out a licensing deal with me for this to be possible.
The costume itself was expertly created by the Artisariumworkshop based in Sweden.
It is really interesting and refreshing to see a Mechtorian in a different medium.
The show airs on Friday nights so if you are in the region and able to tune in do check out The Spelmannen.

I was lucky enough to be one of the artists invited to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the popular Manga and Anime “One Piece” as part of a worldwide art campaign.

Tit for tat – Hat. Get ahead! Get a hat! In this case literally. In Mechtoria any object from a building to an item of clothing may in fact be a sentient person with their own opinions and desires. So putting together a harmonious outfit may take on an entirely different meaning.
For Designer Con I have created a very limited hand painted edition of just 10 pieces of each of the three new Tall Titfer characters.
Each figure comes with a real solid cast metal key.
There is the Teal Topper, Emerald Bowler and Red Fez.
Each will be only $50.
A small number will be available on Preview night.
The rest will be open for sale at the main door time.
Any remaining after the show will be offered online.
