Whimsical Wonders
Bring some of the unseen world home!
These wonderful, bizarre and sometimes disturbing creations have all sprung from my imagination.
Inspiration finds me in all manner of places, and so occasionally reflecting the environment I am in several are darker than one might expect for whimsical wonders.
At times these little creatures can spend years in my sacred note book before making it to a full realised model.
Using skills, methods and a deep understanding of materials I have developed techniques and knowledge over the years that have allowed me to produce free standing, posable models that will enchant and delight for a life time
Street Pixie Alcoholic
These strange and unusual Pixies have made the dangerous choice to live in human cities. Dwelling in the hidden corners of lost streets they are remarkably near This close proximity normally would not be desired and in fact usually would be avoided. The pixies in question have all adopted some human vice, be it alcohol or heroin there is something that drives them to remain dangerously close to run down human communities, the general chaos of these areas they frequent keeps them close to the vice they are dependant on as well as helping to keep their existence concealed.
Street Pixie Gluey
These strange and unusual Pixies have made the dangerous choice to live in human cities. Dwelling in the hidden corners of lost streets they are remarkably near This close proximity normally would not be desired and in fact usually would be avoided. The pixies in question have all adopted some human vice, be it alcohol or heroin there is something that drives them to remain dangerously close to run down human communities, the general chaos of these areas they frequent keeps them close to the vice they are dependant on as well as helping to keep their existence concealed, and so unseen in most dingy urban sprawls one can find macabre mimics of unfortunate human lives.
Barber Surgeon
This somewhat unnerving guy was a commission for a fantasy wild west live role play event. He is a hearth God who will show up in appropriate establishments (in this case a surgery) that are running exemplary businesses, and bestow upon the house blessings and fortunes. The internet says this about barber surgeons:
'Barber surgeons were historical practitioners who performed basic surgical procedures, such as tooth extraction, bloodletting, and amputations, in addition to their work as barbers. They were a common form of medical practitioner in medieval and early modern Europe, especially during wartime, as many university-trained physicians disdained surgery'.
Shopkeeper
This strange but cute guy was another commission for the same fantasy wild west live role play event. Once again he is a hearth God who will show up in appropriate establishments (in this case a general store) that are running exemplary businesses, and bestow upon the house blessings and fortunes. The internet says this about wild west shopkeepers:
'Wild West shopkeepers were a variety of local business owners, including those who ran general stores, specialty shops like butchers and gunsmiths, and other essential services. These shopkeepers were crucial to a town's economy, providing goods and services that allowed a community to function, from food and tools to clothing and weapons. General store owners were perhaps the most common and vital shopkeepers, offering a wide array of goods including groceries, dry goods, tools, and sometimes even hardware'.
Fairy
This fairy was a private commission. She is a basic level doll with simple sculpting and embellishments. Her wings are insectoid reminiscent of a damsel fly. She can be found flitting around forested areas particularly near water. Her prefered time of year is early summer but she could be out midwinter if the need arose.
