Bendy Bones Memorial

Who are we? Just your average nerds. He is the calm, quiet & rational one. She is the loud, messy & impulsive one. Ying & Yang. A couple of collectors who love all things pop culture, street art, graffiti & a passion for the strange and unusual. Why are we here & what are we doing? We found through our long journey of collecting, so many amazing independent artists & designers from all over the world, we want to share their creations & show them love & support. We never stopped our passion or love for collecting, but at times, we felt frustrated, burnt out & like much of the community didn’t feel like it was as much fun anymore. Raised in Dronfield in the United Kingdom, Squink! grew up on a diet of popcorn, candy, and Jayce and the wheeled warriors. Qualified as a graphic designer but also a keen painter from a very early age, he became a toy collector with the launch Of the Toy2R Qee, which eventually lead to customising everything he could get his hands on! A head filled with characters in need of being set free finally had an outlet. Heavily influenced by japanese culture and 80’s cartoons, he claims to put a little bit of his soul into each character he creates, giving them all a unique personality, fueled by coffee, good smelly cheese and shoegaze. Gathering inspiration from the toys and natural forms he surrounds himself with. Squink! has more recently branched out into canvas paintings, and also limited edition screen printed t-shirts.
