Soft toys intrigue me. I find them slightly sinister and imagine that when no one is around they lead strange fantasy lives of their own..
Superdry is a toy based on an animal in a Bosch painting. I bought him in the Prado. He is attempting to impress the tailor's dummy but getting nowhere. Octetta came from a secondhand bookshop in Penzance. Pope Keith is the spiritual leader of chocolate bunnies the world over. Leda and the Duck was an experiment in creating a short graphic novel for a competition. I didn't win it! It shows the way I think that toys view us and their serious and sinister side... Everyone meets the F U Fairy at some point. |
