Papi Cranston

myplasticheart presents "When Hell Freezes Over" a custom show featuring Cranston Fellows Jr. Created by artist Lou Pimentel, Cranston is taken to new heights by being reimagined through the eyes of 15 of the top painters and customizers in the designer toy industry. Brooklyn NY artist Lou Pimentel wanted to bring his Cranston Fellow Jr. character to life and we were more than happy to oblige. The Cranston figure will be actualized as a 5 inch resin figure which will all be handpainted by the artist. Chauskoskis, the artistic alias of Mexican artist Walter Jacott, is a self-taught creator renowned in the designer toy community for his imaginative and often whimsical characters. His multifaceted career spans graphic design, painting, sculpting, and illustration. Chauskoskis’s work is deeply influenced by Mexican pop culture, including comic books, lucha libre, fantasy, horror, science fiction, and classic cartoons. These elements converge to form a unique aesthetic that blends the eerie with the endearing, resulting in a diverse array of peculiar and captivating characters.
