About this Platform

a sculpture of a break-dancing astronaut is 33 cm (13 inches) tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the toes of the upper foot. Made of polyresin and finished to very high quality. Available in only 25 editions. Each one is signed, numbered, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. 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. I was born in the eastern Poland in 1982. Today he lives and works in London, UK. I started creating his first digital art at the age of 7 while using Atari 130 XE. After moving to London in 2006 and having worked as an assistant to well established British artists, I create using both digital and traditional mediums. The aim of my art is to express what cannot be express with words. I want to encourage the viewer to look at surrounding world and question it in derisive, unorthodox way. An alias “Whatshisname” is inspired by the fact that I have trouble remembering other artists’ names and by the Green Day’s song “Whatshername”.
