Autumn Ped

The work of MAp-MAp is the underhanded creations of Matthew Plater. A UK artist originating from the city of Leicester he flips around the world of many traditonal & digital mediums to push out any ideas he mulls over. Those ideas mainly come from a curiosity for the visually appealing and skin deep oddity in the characters and places he sees on his travel. With all knowledge being twisted by his vibrantly wasted youth spent on Saturday cartoon mornings & after school SNES marathons all edited by a young teen life spent in the woodls & farmland of Derbyshire. These hoofed beasts tiptoe over the hills, slowly fanning the land for flying creatures that may fall into their mouth. When seen from afar a business of Peds can form a furry tide that sways up and down the mountainous land, as the weather persuade any bug life they crave to seek warmer climates. Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components.
