A 12th scale commission figure for a pantomime dame/drag queen putting on make up.
He was great fun to make and is now 'on tour' demonstrating wares at a doll-fair near you ;))

Cri de Coeur





















....beyond hope and fear standing in the wasteland of her life, war burned bitter and acrid in her throat...from the very depths of her soul she uttered a cry which seemed to fill the whole world...

The Golden Child



...I was in a long line that had no beginning and no end...I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me those who were to come...I looked back and saw my mother, and her mother, and all our mothers, and infront to see my daughter, and her daughter, and the daughters upon daughters beyond....and their eyes were my eyes.....


( inspired by Richard Llewellin's 'How Green was my Valley' )

The Golden Child

I'm Back!! A new drawing 'The Golden Child' to mark a special moment in my family...this is a drawing about Alchemy...change, regeneration, transformation...about what is really important and precious in your life ;)

Retreat





I've not posted much lately I know, and I'm sad to say due to recent events that I have stopped creating any art at the moment. I hope this may change, and if it does I will be back, but until that happens I will be spending a lot less time on the internet. I'm not cutting myself off completely, but please expect delays if you ask me anything ;) I'm very grateful to all my friends who have been so kind with their encouragement and support.

Chief Bromden

The glass splashed out like bright cold water baptizing the sleeping earth. 'Geese up there white man. You know it. Geese this year...and last year...and the year before and the year before...and I knew this time I had them beat.'

'Who is this Harlequin?' said the Ticktockman

"And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes goes goes goes goes tick tock tick tocktick tock and one day we no longer let time serve us, we serve time and we are slaves of the schedule, bound into a life predicated on restrictions because the system will not function if we don't keep the schedule tight."
('repent Harlequin!' said the ticktockman by Harlan Ellison)

Inspired partly by that story ... a celebration of civil disobedience!

Harlequin further details


The Harlequin laughed and laughed, and apologised profusely....everyone was dumped thisway and thataway in a jackstraw tumble, still laughing, popping little jellybeans of childish colour into their mouths...it was a holiday, a jollity, an absolute insanity, a giggle, but.....
