TEXT DESCRIPTION: " Organic feels and ecological style makes his creations very precious and sensitive. His first release for ARTOYZ ORIGINALS follows this inspiration with the KID ONION, a mysterious boy into a vegetable body, featuring a whole lot of coloured fishscales and a smiling face. Both intriguing and lovely." [Artoyz wholesale enquiries: distribution [at] artoyz.com]
NOTE#1: there is currently no description for the above-posted Delkographik Version - be it a production piece or prototype, and the color of the flocking is neither determined to be black or purple. I've only photoshopped x brightened them without white-balancing ... altho a little "mystery" is always fun, innit? *heh*
NOTE#2: There's no way to tip-toe around this (not that I intended to), as visually the shape of both EASY HEY's Kid Onion and Gavin Strange's Droplets are similar, and has been commented on in various postings. I will leave the decision to you, dear readers.
