Army Ant - Custom O-Miku Figure
I was supplied with a blank vinyl O-Miku figure, manufactured by Crypton and Clutter. The shape of the hair bunches immediately reminded me of ant mandibles and with a little heat treatment I was able to reposition them into a pose that suited the idea. I amputated the figure's arms and replaced her tiny feet with an abdomen. I formed an armature for the legs with steel wire. I sculpted some insect detail onto the form and made a Full Metal Jacket-style helmet from epoxy clay.
The piece will be on show and available to buy at AnimeNYC
The Lure
An original sculpt made in epoxy clay on a steel wire armature. Painted to give the illusion of an illuminated smartphone lure. This piece was made for a show at Clutter Gallery, New York opening October 12th 2019.

Phantasm - Custom Vinyl Figure
A haunted mirror-themed custom built using MJ Hsu's Ellie vinyl figure. I was invited to take part in the launch show for the figure, held at WootBear Gallery, San Francisco.
I dismantled the figure and set to work re-posing it. I sculpted the mouth open and added flowing hair. I added more detail to the cloth of the dress and blended it into a back plate that I sculpted with ripples. I heat-treated the tentacles to form them into dynamic shapes. The whole sculpt was fitted into a resin frame.
The piece was painted using a combination of metallic lacquers and muted acrylic tones. The idea was to give the impression both of a haunted mirror and of looking up from the deep past the drowning figure at the silvery surface of the water.

Perchance to Dream - Custom Bubbles Figure
The vinyl Bubbles figure made by The Bots and UVD Toys is a nicely finished, cleanly cast render of an appealing design, produced in a good quality plastic. For the Custom Show at Clutter Gallery, I converted Bubbles into a brain and created a skull housing for the figure. The piece was completed by making a miniature dream Bubbles sheep figure jumping over a fence framed inside the open cranium. The main figure was removable from the skull.

The Tardigradest Showman Art Figure
This resin art figure gives you Hugh Jackman in the form of a tardigrade. It's everything you ever need.
Many thanks to @George Gaspar for his enthusiastic mention on Marsham Toy Hour.
Very Metal Vyv - Young Ones-Inspired Art Figure
It's hard explain to anyone who wasn't there the impact The Young Ones had when they first hit our screens. It was Monty Python for the Punk generation - anarchic, destructive and hilarious. Vyvyan's debut could be the best entrance ever, crashing through the wall holding a severed leg and announcing 'I've been down the morgue!'.
This limited edition, hand made resin art figure stands 12cm tall. He is jointed at the neck and shoulders and is signed and numbered.
Available at ToyCon UK 2019 on table T4
Tim Gets The Message - Hot Fuzz-Inspired Art Figure
The death scenes in Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz are all quite shocking next to the film's rather gentle character humour. The sudden demise of local newspaper reporter Tim Messenger (Adam Buxton) is memorably horrific but manages to stay slightly cartoonish rather than realistically graphic; more Tex Avery than Texas Chainsaw. For a brief moment, the unfortunate steeple-headed victim becomes a surreal new character in its own right.

Steampunk One Sixth Scale Personal Submarine
Made as a gift for a friend. The mini-sub is made from mixed media including high-density foam and found parts on a wood frame. The design is inspired by a female angler fish. It is built to accommodate 1:6th scale figure, with extra leg-room for the ThreeA female figures favoured by my friend!
Cataclysm
Cats may look elegant and refined on the outside but try and tickle their tummy and they'll have your arm off. Each of these two unique 16cm tall pieces is hand sculpted in epoxy clay on a steel wire armature. They will be available in The Clutter Gallery, New York from December 8th
