About this Manufacturer
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. A graphic designer and toy maker from Cape Town, South Africa. Keg O' Boom is a South African, designed, sculpted and cast resin toy. The piece is the culmination of months worth of planning and hard work and was more than anything an excercise into wether a resin toy could not only be made in an entirely South African enviroment, but also an excecise into my ability to market and sell the toy. I am happy to report that things went so well that you can certainly start looking forward to my next piece, something thats already in the works. Thanks to everyone who supported Keg O' Boom and made it a success.
