Binksy
"Binksy" was a graphics project I produced as an exercise to learn Gimp, the open source photo editor similar to Adobe Photoshop. When I began to produce Toy based artworks, the image was inspiration for one of my best received pieces. The final "Binksy" piece is a mash-up work combining a beloved Star Wars character and the style of graffiti artist Bansky.

Preparing the torso sculpt for silicone mold making. I use various materials to make the forms during the mold making process. Here you can see I have suspended the sculpted torso inside of a box form made from LEGO bricks.
