The Cursed Idol

Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. I’m a LA based artist that customizes toys for fun. My work is influenced by the 1920′s era of architecture and art as well as modern toy art and their artists. I mainly work with vinyl toys, acrylic, sculpey clay, and other various materials I find can be of use. I find each custom can be approached differently while still maintaining my style. I figured, I love so many styles, why not create one that mixes them all. Customizing is part of my life now. I love the toy community and plan to be a major artist within it one day.
