Doubleparlour is a husband-and-wife artist duo based in San Francisco, consisting of Ernie and Cassie Velasco. They are known for their eerie yet whimsical handmade resin sculptures, which often feature melancholic, doll-like characters with surreal and unsettling expressions. Their work blends elements of dark humor, dreamlike narratives, and a touch of the grotesque, creating figures that feel both fragile and mysterious. Their signature characters, such as wide-eyed children, anthropomorphic creatures, and eerie twins, often have muted color palettes and delicate, hand-sculpted details. Each piece is carefully crafted and painted, making their work highly sought after in the art toy and lowbrow art communities. Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mold is filled with a liquid synthetic resin, which then hardens. It is primarily used for small-scale production like industrial prototypes and dentistry. It can be done by amateur hobbyists with little initial investment, and has been appropriated for the production of collectible toys, models and figures, as well as small-scale jewelry production. The synthetic resin for such processes is a monomer for making a plastic thermosetting polymer. During the setting process, the liquid monomer polymerizes into the polymer, thereby hardening into a solid.
