Anyways, I just got some Posca markers because I want to draw at Iksentric (in the UK) and not make a total ass out of myself by not knowing how to use 'em. So I created a Qee, and for those of you who aren't obsessed with vinyl toys, consider yourself lucky and unfortunate that I will now educate you. They are toys made from vinyl, and a lot of modern/pop/low-brow artists are creating toys, both limited edition and unlimited for collectors of art it's a great affordable way to get a hold of some artwork. For the collectors of things (such as myself) it's a great way to find a new obsession of "rare" and "exotic" figures.
The craze started in Japan and then quickly leap frogged into the US and now it's a world wide disease. A disease I full endorse. I guess I should also mention that a few years ago Ryan from Iksentric was nice enough to put on an exhibition full of these modified vinyl toys and allowed me to put 2 toys into the show.
Enough with my mumblings and musings. Here's the pictures of the toy I made (in the same vein as my sketchbook)!







Definitely, like the Qee.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun and a conversation piece.
Really cool layers of the writing and drawings.
I totally want this toy!
