DAHRA Collaboration

“Play.Create.” is the fourth project and second exhibition of DAHRA (Designers Against Human Rights Abuse) created by the designer & artist Rishi Sodha. Basically the invitation was to customize a a Kid Robot ‘Munny’ doll, The premise is the project that 10 product designers, 10 graphic designers and 10 children will all customise these dolls on the theme of play and creativity for an exhibition and auction to show the inherent links we all share in creativity and how we are all equal in that respect despite our age. All money raised will go to Barnardo’s (a UK based children’s charity) as well as 10 children being treated to a day of inspiring workshops and fun art activities where they will customise their dolls.

The exhibition will be held in London in early November (location to be confirmed) And this is my custom Munny.

Custom G2 Mutant

Some time a go there was an art show inviting several artists to customize a G2 Mutant vinyl toy, the fabulous mascot of Nike 6.0 I wasn't invited to the be part of the show but recently my friend Jamal, who actually was in charge to 3D model this guy at Nemo Design asked me to customize his own copy of the very limited edition (6 pieces). And this is the result, he just said – I like Dia de los Muertos stuff– So, I did something expressing a bit that.

Vinyl Toy 12" tall, acrylics.

Custom Mellow

An art collector named Nick contacted to me some time a go to request a custom vinyl toy, I said yes without even to know what toy he wanted me to customize, actually also he wasn't sure by then, yet. A little later I received the Mellow figure designed by Christopher Lee. And an email from the same guy, he thought this figure would be a perfect canvas for my characters, so I did it and this is the result, I'm very pleased with the result and really like to work in 3D object.
Who knows? Maybe this is the beginning of a new line of vinyl toys :) Ha! Why not?

Thanks Nick for pushing me out in making this!
