"Vinylmation" is a combination of the word "Animation," which is at the heart of The Walt Disney Company, and the word "Vinyl," which is the medium upon which creativity is expressed. Vinyl + Animation = Vinylmation™. The current Vinylmation™ Figure form we use is shaped like Mickey Mouse but does not represent the "character" Mickey Mouse. In other words, we aren't "dressing up" Mickey Mouse to look like something. This form is seen as a blank three-dimensional canvas upon which our Disney artists can express creativity from many angles. Michal Miszta, architect, self-taught artist, was born in Poland in 1980. He received his Masters degree in architecture at Wroclaw University of Technology in 2005 and he is currently based in Dublin where he works as an architect with an Irish practice Whilst enjoying designing buildings by day, he is uses his manual skills to create custom models and toys in his free time He takes his inspiration from iconic movies, pop-culture and comic books. Many of his custom vinyl figures are painted portraits and caricatures of characters from his favourite movies. He often utilizes his sculpting skills to reshape blank toys with lots of polymer clay to create completely new pieces. His one-of-a-kind engagement ring boxes, which he designs for people from around the world, has made him known among these looking for original and personalized gifts.
