About this Medium
Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mold is filled with a liquid synthetic resin, which then hardens. It is primarily used for small-scale production like industrial prototypes and dentistry. It can be done by amateur hobbyists with little initial investment, and has been appropriated for the production of collectible toys, models and figures, as well as small-scale jewelry production. The synthetic resin for such processes is a monomer for making a plastic thermosetting polymer. During the setting process, the liquid monomer polymerizes into the polymer, thereby hardening into a solid. Michelle Delgado and Gino Ybarra, a wife and husband art duo. As full time artists, we specialize in various forms of designer toys, such as: customizing toys for gallery shows, making original character resin toys, and most recently, having some designs made in vinyl with several toy producers such as Strangecat Toys, Clutter Studios, and MERRY GO ROUND Toys. With strive to continue our strong focus on interacting with the toy community, and can be found often on live social platforms talking about toys, showing the painting and sculpting process, as well as selling. We are excited to be opening up a brick and mortar location in the heart of Downtown El Paso because we not only love the vast toy community, we also love our local community and want to bring the world of designer toys to them. This new chapter also means we will have dedicated gallery space to continue to host group and solo shows. Thank you all for the years of love and support, and we hope to see you in the new shop soon!
