I am honored to be asked to customize one of the new Mickey toys for the Disney Brand Halo exhibition in Hong Kong, held by Disney Asia and 3-mix. The event will be held in Times Square Hong Kong from June 29th to August 2nd. This is my piece. Acrylic on vinyl (I re-sculpted the face and added hair with paperclay), roughly 12 inches tall.
I’m releasing version 1 of Danny on Monday, June 15th at 1pm (west coast). All the details are in my shop. Each box is hand drawn!
Update (June 15th): Danny is now sold out. Thank you to everyone that promoted him, and special thanks to those who picked one up. You guys are awesome!!
Bobby will be available tomorrow exclusively at Rotofugi. You can buy him in store or online. Check the Rotofugi website for more info! Huge thanks to Kirby and Whitney at Rotofugi for making this happen!! <3 <3 <3
The first edition of my latest toy Bobby is finished and is on his way to Rotofugi. This variant is a Rotofugi exclusive and will only be available there. He will be available in their shop shortly. I’ll send out the newsletter once I know when he’s for sale.
So I’m on a new adventure with handmade toys. I’m starting a website that will be a retail outlet for handmade artist-produced toys. We’ll also have resources for people interested in making their own toys or finding out more information on their favorite toy artists, as well as a blog to keep folks up to date. We are currently looking for people that are interested in selling their toys in the shop. They must be handmade, and you must own all of the rights to the artwork (this also excludes custom Munny’s, Qee’s, etc.). If you’re interested, please e-mail us at mail@gruffhouse.com or check out the website: Gruffhouse.com. (We are not accepting plush or soft toys at this time, sorry!) We’re aiming to launch in the beginning of July 2009. You can sign up for our mailing list on the site if you want regular updates in your e-mail box about additions to the shop.
Hope to hear from some of you!
I’m putting this guy up for sale in my online shop. (Update: He’s now sold, thank you!). He’s one of a kind. I thought it would be nice to vary release times cos I know most of my releases are at odd hours for people in Europe and Australia.
I looooooove these toys! They are designed by Travis Lampe and produced by Rotofugi and Squibbles Ink. They will be released on May 15th at rotofugi.com and other toy retailers. Yes please!

This is a little late, but here is a look at 2 of the We Kill You William Palerne toys I customized. They are already sold, sorry guys! You can pick up 2 My Little Arpie toys sculpted by me and painted by WKY at the shop page from his new show. I have one more WKY custom toy on the way.
I’m releasing the first edition of Bobby’s at Rotofugi in May if all goes according to plan. He’s 4.5″ tall. That’s Danny in the background. I’m doing 5 of him for Toycyte. I was hoping to have both of these projects done already, but I’ve been working ’round the clock lately and there’re jut not enough hours in the day. Hopefully next week they’ll be close to finished. Stay tuned for progress pics.
