Etsy, stuff, cartoon and stuff

Just added some cool stuff to my shop. Got some great comments on them but no buyers yet! Here is a random cartoon.

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:

unique ooak art dolls and creatures

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.

The alebrijes saga part 1: so it begins.

I always have a million different ideas and projects on the go!!

At the moment I am focusing on mexican art. There are some beautiful and colourful projects which anybody can do, such as papier mache and wood carving, and numerous patterns and motifs to be taken from mexican folk art and crafts. Papier mache is used really effectively in mexican art, and has advanced beyond a childrens activity to a really beautiful and unique sculpture material.

Beginning with a wire armature, newspaper is used to build up a body and then layers of thin newspaper strips are glued on with papier mache mix (I use pulped newspaper, PVA glue and wallpaper paste). This is then sanded, painted and varnished. See the mexican art section on my website for more! http://www.junkpunk.co.uk/alebrijes.html
