While I do most of my toy sculpting work in ZBrush, the essential toy designing tool after that it's Marvelous Designer. Here is a thing some of you might know I don't sculpt clothing for the designer toys that I sculpt, I tailor them for each character, when I sculpted Mike Fudge's KUB I sculpted his body first, and then I tailored to fit the bear jeans and the hoodie, this is why it fits him perfectly and flows so nicely. It has weight, cause in clothing the two crucial rules are fit and flow (weight). Each piece of fabric I create from scratch as a sewing pattern; then each piece is stit ..read more

I can't even describe how great ToyCon UK was, The people, the vibe the atmosphere was just so cosy and friendly. I got to meet some of the fantastic Toy sculptors and toy designers that I have been following for years now, I had the chance to see the toys that I sculpted for other artists, and it felt good to have your art appreciated by so many people especially people in the same industry and collectors who love designer toys. Spent four days in London talking almost non-stop about toys, toy design, sculpting, techniques, resins, paints and everything designer toy related. My haul of toy ..read more

Handcrafted Art Toys As all artists since the beginning of time, we always search for masters and mentors to look up to,  whose work speaks to us on a spiritual level, those artworks that touch our hearts or engage our minds or maybe even enrage us. So, when I started my career as a Toy Designer, I needed to find beacons to light up the toy crafting path ahead. “Could we ever know each other in the slightest without the arts?” – Gabrielle Roy 2PetalRose His nickname is just perfect and incapsulates the beauty of his art toys: 2Petalrose, aka Liam Scriven from London UK, is one of ..read more

There are times when you feel like giving up on life, like when you accidentally put salt in your coffee instead of sugar, and you're just like "well, this is it, I guess I'll just lay here and accept my fate". But fear not my friends, because a sip of coffee can be the magical elixir that gives you the strength to carry on! It's like a superhero transformation in a cup. One minute you're a mere mortal, and the next you're a caffeine-fueled dynamo, ready to take on the world (or at least your to-do list). And let's not forget about the ritual of coffee-making. There's something about the sound ..read more

For the past couple of weeks, I have been in a negative state of mind, business is not doing great because of multiple reasons (current economy, AI art, Crypto and NFT) but the thing that was keeping me down lately is the whole talk about Ai generated art and the discussions around it, be it pro or against. But I think the thing that terrified me the most was that I started asking myself, “What’s the point of making art anymore?!” I have no idea if I am the only one feeling and thinking like that, but this morning while preparing snacks for my 8-year-old it hit me, the reason we make art is be ..read more

Collectible toys This project start out of pure love for Stand up comedy, I actually only sculpted the bust of Louie CK at first just as a sculpting exercise. I 3dd printed this guy as a Birthday gift for a good friend who is a huge Louis CK fan, I really wanted to get him something awesome for his birthday. And I'm going to walk you through the process of creating Louie CK Figurine. As I said it all started in ZBrush this is the software I use to create my characters. Once the digital sculpt is done the cleaning process starts, and making sure all shapes are clean and nothing is overlapping ..read more

The knowledge that I had a hand in bringing a bit of happiness into their lives fills me with immense satisfaction and delight. I can only hope that my collectors understand how much joy it brings to me to see the toys that I designed in their homes ..read more

On an August day, a bear was wondering about the woods when he heard two guys talking pretty loud for a hike in the woods. The bear heard them talk about superheroes and electric cars, and food. You see, this bear spent so much time around humans that he started to understand us MOFOS. He got hungry and decided to go after these guys; he managed to grab one of them. The other got lucky cause he followed the golden rule of hiking always bring a fat friend with you on a hike. After he enjoyed eating the big fella, he started rummaging through his backpack, and he found a comic book, a bottle of ..read more
