The Dude is the first plattform by UK toy comany Dudebox. Dudebox Plus is a section of Dudebox where everyone can be a part of the creative community. It acts as a curated gallery of customised Dudes and artist original works. If you have purchased a Do It Yourself Dude and have turned it into a piece of amazing art we would love to see it! You can email images to us at diy@dudebox.com for consideration to be included and sold via the Dudebox Plus department in the Dudebox Store. Raised in Dronfield in the United Kingdom, Squink! grew up on a diet of popcorn, candy, and Jayce and the wheeled warriors. Qualified as a graphic designer but also a keen painter from a very early age, he became a toy collector with the launch Of the Toy2R Qee, which eventually lead to customising everything he could get his hands on! A head filled with characters in need of being set free finally had an outlet. Heavily influenced by japanese culture and 80’s cartoons, he claims to put a little bit of his soul into each character he creates, giving them all a unique personality, fueled by coffee, good smelly cheese and shoegaze. Gathering inspiration from the toys and natural forms he surrounds himself with. Squink! has more recently branched out into canvas paintings, and also limited edition screen printed t-shirts. Dudebox launched their new range of vinyl toy collectible on May 10th at the Village Underground, London.
