Atomic UniPo

This is my piece for the Vinylmore show at Atomic Pop....

Unkl is one of my favourite toy companies and they produce some of the finest vinyl out there, so in creating this UniPo I wanted to keep a little of the essence of the character and not totally change the look of it. I like how this was developing but unfortunately I ran out of time to fully explore the possibilities....so there will definitely be more to come in this vein......

The finished piece

Captain Billy

Captain Billy is the second figure in my series of custom Billy Bronze figures using the idea of a child’s fantasy superhero character.....

Firstly some work-in-progress shots

The finished figure

Dark Billy

Dark Billy is the first figure in my series of custom Billy Bronze figures using the idea of a child’s fantasy superhero character.....The idea being that these figures represent a gang of kids dressing up as their favourite characters. Not necessarily going to a fancy dress party or anything....just out having fun.

The finished figure

Using a combination of Milliput and Super Sculpey I added the extra features to the figure then painted it using Liquitex acrylics.

White Tara

White Tara was the first custom vinyl toy I made. The base figure for this is a Crossing Guard from Nathan Jurevicius's Scary Girl City Folk series....with it's concept originating in the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism....essentially the White Tara is known for compassion, long life, healing and serenity....
