The Ice Scream Man is pure evil… a bringer of cavities and brain freeze.Rotocast at Brutherford Industries in New Jersey, USA. By day I work as a motion designer. By night I make customs. I got into doing customs toys in 2010, and what started as a hobby has turned into a lot more. I strive to do things I haven’t seen before. Custom toys are the only medium I’ve been able to look at, see exactly what I want in my head and then create it. My work technique ranges from the extraction of shapes, to threading, to the insertion of toothpicks or blocks. Regardless of the method, I always want my work to stand out. My customs have been shown at NYCC via Toy2R, as well as in several West Cost shows. Some of my pieces have been sold in the New York Kidrobot store, however, if you’re in the market for one of my customs you may want to check out memakestore.com Follow my progress on customs via my Twitter account. @carsoncatlin CCC
