Probloid Reptilian Drone

DesignerCon is an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys, customs, plush, designer apparel and so much more with urban, underground and pop art! We are a celebration of all aspects from the world of design. Nerviswr3k is the artistic alias of American artist Gabriel Rivas, a Phoenix-based sculptor and designer renowned for his intricate, biomechanical creations that delve into themes of mental health, dystopia, and inner turmoil. Since entering the designer toy scene in 2006, he has developed a distinct style characterized by monstrous figures adorned with sharp teeth, cybernetic elements, and surreal anatomical features. Rivas’s work is deeply personal, often reflecting his experiences with mental health challenges. His sculptures manifest as paranoid delusions of overlords, infestations, drones, and personifications of pain, among other demons . These themes are brought to life through his use of mixed media, incorporating materials like recycled computer parts, polymer clay, and acrylic paints to create textured, layered pieces .
