I'm in the TOAE this year, booth 228 sector yellow. Hope it doesn't Rain this weekend. My borrowed tent has no walls! Crossing my fingers.

The Super Super Show

I'm showing 3 new sculptures at the Super Super group show. I decided to resculpt The Thing, The Falcon and Daredevil. I cut off all the parts that I don't like or need and then sculpt new parts. After all the mold making and casting is done, I paint the new parts and put them back together.

Double Headed Dragon of Doom

This is from the toy line  The Other World  by Arco Industries in 1982. He's half solid plastic and half bendie! Of the many bizzare toys that they created, Lava man and Sir Cobra are by far my favorites. Follow the back story here

King Of the Jungle

Reliable Lion

This is the latest addition to my plastic bank collection. It's just over 11 inches tall and made by Reliable, the Canadian Toy Company. He's by far the weirdest bank I own. I found him at VV a while back. I was so excited to see such an odd duck on the shelf. To read more about when Canadians actually made toys in Canada go here
