Awesome art doll website inspiration

Here's a quick link to a great artist and his website. Got to admit, I'm not too keen on the fact that most of his work is used in advertising or to accompany articles, but the work itself is brilliant.

Solderbugs and other creatures

Okay, finally got my computer fixed since it died before christmas. I have made lots of creations whilst it was dead, but need to photograph them, which is the hardest bit! Needless to say, I have added some bits to my shop:

These include some little robotic insects that I make, called solderbugs. Using various electronic and clockwork bits and bobs I glue and solder these little creatures together.


These pictures are pretty terrible, but I am slowly getting better at taking them:


I have made loads of unusual creatures from bits of root, bark and twine, sculpting hands, faces and limbs. I hope to add them to my shop as soon as possible.

ETSY ooak junk punk art for sale at last!!!

Finally, I’ve got an ETSY shop! After waiting ages for a credit card, I can now list my items on there and actually sell them! At the moment I am adding some art dolls, but hope to get a lot of my site content into my shop as soon as possible.

ETSY is a really great way to buy and sell unique, hand-made, non-mass produced items which is a great new trend in the horrible, mass-produced world we inhabit. They recently appointed a new CEO who worked for amazon, and are really focused on growing and developing the site, which is already an internet phenomenon. It’s a great site already, very fresh and innovative, but it still has it’s kinks which need to be ironed out.

I would recommend anybody to check out the ETSY site. Whilst it’s based in America, it continues to spread worldwide. It opens up whole new markets for small art sellers and crafters, people who have a passion which can easily be dwarfed by big businesses. There is always innovative new ideas too, unique and one off items, as well as cool variations and customisations on current trends and fashions.

Visit my shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6200500 and have a look around.
