Duet

When they agree and play in harmony the results are uplifting and beautiful.
But when they disagree. And are not on the same page.

It is worrying how quickly things descend into chaos.

He will not believe them.
He knows that there is no little man in his head steering his life.
He would know!
If only he had eyes he could double check..

The Future Ain’t What it Used to Be!

Opening on the 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.

You can join the previews list to see all available pieces here: https://clutter.co/gallery-preview-list/

Do You Experience Feelings of Dread in Your Scullery or Parlour?

In anticipation of the new movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the Sugarmynt Gallery in Pasadena is mounting a Ghostbusters themed art show.

“Yes Have Some” has been curated by the fantastic Pop Artist Chogrin and brings together an eclectic mix of artists and toy makers to present their own versions of the iconic paranormal eliminators.

Opening Nov 20th, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
At Sugarmynt Gallery, 810 Meridian Ave, South Pasadena, CA 91030, USA

For this show I have created a significant new Mechtorian piece :

This is a unique opportunity as I very rarely make pieces based on existing pop-culture characters. This may well be the only Ghostbusters related piece I ever create!

Tall Titfers

A new range of resin mini figures.

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.
