G.N.O.M.E
Designer con will see the launch of the first production G.N.O.M.E toy.
This special edition version will be limited to only 100 pieces.
I will be signing them at the 3D Retro booth from noon until 3pm this Saturday (20th).
I believe they will be $65 each.
Gyroscopic, Non-Ornamental Mechanised Excavator
Originally created to excavate the labyrinthine tunnel system for Retropolis’s underground pneumatic railway, the G.N.O.M.Es have proven themselves useful for many other tasks. Currently employed on an ambitious continent to continent sub sea corridor project. The peculiarly hard ocean floor rocks have begun to give them headaches. Several of them intend taking some time off when it is over and plan a little jaunt to the centre of the planet for a vacation.

I am Plastic Too
The second volume of Kidrobot’s compendium of Art Toys has recently been released.
It’s a veritable who’s who of underground toy based art.
And I am happy to announce several pages of this splendid volume are dedicated to my humble works.
You can pick it up from most good bookshops and of course online.

More Dunny Goodness
Early experiments into the little understood properties of static electricity resulted in the creation of the “Electro-Aethermetric Consciousness Focusing Helmet”. Intended to harness the latent energy of dreams, the imagination and the subconscious mind.
It was a total failure!
However it did induce in the wearer a sensation not unlike that produced by more than several Pimms and Lemonades. And went on to be a best selling product.
This is the brand new Doktor A Dunny release from the “2tone” series by Kidrobot.
My Artist Proofs will be onsale at my store on Sale Wednesday 6th October at 8pm UK time.
A 3″ tall rotocast articulated vinyl figure. With original box and series leaflet.
Each Dunny is signed and numbered on the underside of its foot.
Edition of 25 “AP”s.
