Ghost Hair

I have been an artist since 2006 and discovered designers toys in 2016 then learnt to make my own in 2017. In 2019 I made [Designer Toys] my main focus. However [Illustration] continues to be at the root of my creative practice. In late 2021 I added digital [3D] sculpting which now perfectly bridges the gap between my 2D & 3D work. I often use cute creatures to explore personal topics like mental health, diversity and identity. My work has been included in shows/events globally and I have amazing collectors all over the world! Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components.
