TRE-Exclusive Reveal of The Odorous Fish Man for Freak Mechanique by Doktor A @ LIFT (Nov 14)
The ODOROUS FISH MAN-Abhorrent Piscine Denizen of the Deep-
Obadiah Marsh was a tailor by trade who found he had an affinity with the sea. His small personal fortune was spent on many small alterations which over time helped him move with greater ease though the oceans of the world. His new styling and tedious obsession however made him unpopular at dinner parties and he soon found himself without friends. He found new friends at the Freak Show and decided to join their ranks.
The Odorous Fish Man is a customised Koibito toy by Doktor A for his upcoming FREAK MECHANIQUE- Solo Show @ the LIFT gallery & toy store in Detroit City, USA (Saturday November 14th 2009).
