About this Artist
Nathan Jurevicius is an illustrator, director, toy designer, author, and concept artist. He specializes in creating immersive worlds populated by unique characters. One of his most acclaimed concepts is Scarygirl, which includes an ever-evolving collection of individuals expressed through limited-edition figures, video games, and animation. Since the early 2000s, Nathan has had brief stints in London as an editorial illustrator and in Providence, Rhode Island, where he freelanced for Hasbro Inc. In 2013, he became a professor at the Pictoplasma Academy in Berlin, where he co-tutors a master class focused on character design. Between 2018 and 2019, he served as the Creative Director at Dark Slope, a studio that develops location-based virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences. He is also recognized for the Australian Academy Award-winning "PELEDA" universe, which is part of his ongoing series on owl-centric Baltic mythology and includes collaborations with Kidrobot and IKEA. Currently, Nathan travels between Canada, Australia and Europe as a freelance artist across various media, including games, animation, toys, and publishing. 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. Jibibuts were released in 2009 and are stocked by leading museums, galleries, art, design and gift boutiques worldwide. 12 to collect plus 2 extra special rare gold or silver editions. One display case of 12 guarantees a complete set. 2.5 – 3.5 inches tall. Made from 100% sustainably harvested rubber wood. Jibibuts sp., are long-lived forest dwellers native to the west coast of Carrara Island. Found mostly in moist temperate climates, they scurry about the forest floor consuming all manner of fallen leaf litter. Jibibuts sp., are important biological indicators of forest health. Specimens discovered by the Biological Institute of Carrara. Males are colored. Females are brown-toned About the wood we use: Jibibuts are made from sustainably harvested rubber tree wood that would otherwise go to waste. Rubber trees are planted for their rubber but after about 20 years, their rubber yields start to diminish. We use this beautiful wood for all our wooden products, thus saving it from the fire pit.
