“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 : Frank Podmore – Ghostbuster (named after a pre-eminent 19th century paranormal investigator).
Vinyl toy parts, Epoxy, Acrylic, Steel, Brass, ABS, Polyester resin, Copper, Oak, Lead, Glass, Rubber, PVC, Vintage Camera and Watch Parts, Found Objects. 12.5” tall on base
He will be available to purchase from the show. You may like to contact the gallery beforehand if you are interested in adding him to your collection.
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!
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.
At ToyArtUK in Leeds this weekend I will have some new custom toys and art toy figures available to purchase.
Including these three Cog Wranglers.
They keep an eye on the quality of gears used in the mills of Retropolis. Part engineer, part stock buyers and part artists, they source, sort and refine the factory stock.
The popular 2.5″ tall resin Mechtorian figure Blinky Allsop will be released in a new hand painted colourway especially for ToyArt in Leeds.
The show exclusive edition of only 5 pieces.
£50 each.
All lovingly hand made in England, each piece has it’s own winding key, is signed & numbered and comes in carded bag packaging.
An industrious and mischievous little fellow. Blinky is able to turn his hand (or rather his prehensile mustache) to just about anything. Though he has never really got to grips with Macramé.
