About this Artist
Illustration I like to blend influences from pop culture, childhood obsessions and toy design to create a world of bleary-eyed monsters. I can also produce more technical realistic work, and spent two years as a Graphic Illustrator for Games Workshop. I have a BA in Illustration and was nominated for the Hallmark Innovation in Illustration prize in my final year. Art Department I am experienced in the production of graphics, models, figures, dioramas and props. Have worked in the art department of film and television productions as both an illustrator and model maker. Toys I produce low run polyurethane castings of sculpture, toys and models. I also produce custom designer toys and action figures, with accessories, weapons and sometimes fabric costumes. I have exhibited and sold toys internationally and have my own range of sculpted characters in production. Engineering I am fully trained as a manufacturing engineer having worked for Rolls-Royce plc and as Senior Engineer at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Sheffield. Freelancing as a manufacturing engineer I specialise in Unigrahics CAD software, tool design, lean manufacturing and manufacturing planning. I have a HND in Manufacturing Production Engineering. Music I love music and collect records. I like to play these to people sometimes and go by theStationed out of our Mothership in Philadelphia we are Invading this planet to bring you toys. Watch the skies for fresh vinyl releases by amazing designers and join our interplanetary cause to replace this greasy marble's inhabitants with art loving Martians. You think they will plop down a mothership next to the local Walmart? Maybe set a saucer on the Apple Glass Cube on 5th Ave? Or will a little green dude walk into Starbucks, say, “Greetings Earthling!” and proceed to order a Pumpkin Spiced Latte!? — don’t be silly. Our invasion will take form of collectable art known as designer toys. We've scoured this planet for it's finest artists and creatives to define the vessels of our mind control devices. Each of limited quantity and premium quality meant to collect and bring joy, these "toys" are a perfect means to infiltrate. At first it's just one art toy, a cool vinyl figure that speaks to your style, then another, and another. Soon you won't be able to stop and WE will take credit for that!
