about squink!'s lefty custom for diy calamari
TOYSREVIL: what is the name of your Lefty-custom?
SQUINK!: The custom is called 'Mister Kiin-Kii'
TRE: what is the toy-story behind your crying custom? :p
SQUINK!: This little guy was found lost in the waters of the bubble planes of squinkland! Unfortunately he was found by a bit of a dodgy character, 'Bill the master of all sea based creatures' (that's what he calls himself anyway) who quickly got out the leathers and has proceeded to make Kiin-Kii his slave.
[what sorta slave? peep the accessory next to him and speculate amongst yourselves :p]
SQUINK!: The custom is designed this way because I wanted to keep the cute factor but add something alittle odd and out of character to the toy. He looks so cute, yet afraid and now the reason why is revealed to all!
TOYSREVIL: cheers for sharing with us Kiin-Kii's past secret and in closing, please do share with us, Who Is Squink?
Squink! was set up in early 2006, the name was used to tag artwork, and custom painted vinyl figures. Squink! is a way of giving an identity to my work and characters, which are more often than not, rather weird. I'm a cheese and coffee obsessive who often works until the early hours while engaged in white noise & bleeps. My website is available at www.squinky.co.uk and has just gone through a redesign, more work is being added at the moment.
Thanks very much!! Now back to the coffee!
