About this Platform
The toy is based on a rabbit figure with distinctive tubular ears. The origin of the name Dunny came from a combination of street slang and one of the early "Devil Bunny" prototypes. The Dunny is sold in four sizes - 3", 5", 8" and 20". The toy has three points of articulation; a 360 degree rotational head and two arms. An artist card or sticker is also included with the 3" Dunny from a series. Most 3" Dunnys and some 8" Dunnys are normally sold as "blind assortment"; the figure is packaged inside a sealed foil wrapper, such that the buyer is not able to see which figure and accessories they are buying. Sealing the figure prevents people from opening and peeking in the boxes and buying only the figures they want. Most Dunnys are packaged inside a clear plastic bag in addition to the foil wrapper. In the second-hand market, this assures the buyer that the article was never on display and is in a "new" condition. With the success of vinyl toys as a medium for expression, many fans and artists have put their own design onto blank Dunnys.Ever since he held his first crayon, Scott Kinnebrew has attempted to manifest the things only seen in his mind. After spending years working strictly in the digital medium on projects ranging from movie and music posters, album covers, and digital video content, the need to create physical works resurfaced. After a 10 year break, Kinnebrew now finds himself working with acrylics, brushes, markers and spray paint on surfaces like canvas, plastic,wood, shoes and vinyl toys. Bright colors, bold lines and the motivation from the things around him make up the majority of his works, those of which were most recently displayed at the Sweden Meets Austin : Music Meets Art show at SXSW 2011. "If it can be used to create Ill give it a try, and thats what attracted me to not only canvas but urban vinyl as well." says Kinnebrew,"I create for me, so my main focus is fun. If Im not having fun creating, Im not doing it right." An avid toy collector, and fan of franchises like Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Spawn, The Maxx, Akira, the inspiration has always close at hand. "I wouldn't say I have a style per say, but more of
