Toy-Showcase: Pludoz by Glen Fernández
Illustrator Glen Fernández turned his creative directions towards developing a couple of toy series ~ although one remains a "secret" for now (I can tell you tis going to be in full-resin cast + ceramic!), what I can share with you folks now is "PLUDOZ" ~ featuring figures sculpted with polymer clay on wood (with plans to be resin+wood in future). One thing's for sure, these critters will be sitting form without the fear of shelf-dives, innit? CLICK THRU for more snaps!
It's always cool when folks explore different forms and concept, which helps the evolution for both the creator/artist, and the industry / culture too. Currently "PUG" and "PIG" Pludoz are available to order at US$50 per (free shipping) simply by clicking on buttons menu-left @ http://pludoz.blogspot.com (all images via).
[FYI: "PLUDOZ" is the english equivalent of "FURRYZ"]
