NAME-OF-CUSTOM: Nathaniel Herringbone - Biologist Bookmark and Share Rivet Exhibition
STATUS: Sold
ARTIST: Chris Ryniak + Doktor A
MEDIUM: Custom Lefty toy, vinyl, copper, brass, lead, rubber, cloth, paper, Polymer Clay, Epoxy Resin, found objects
SIZE: 7 inch high
DESCRIPTION: Set with the task of measuring, sketching and generally recording all information about any new species encountered by the expedition. Nathaniel is however easily bored and distracted. This low attention span makes him prone to flights of fancy. Which sees most of his animal renderings sporting gratuitously fashionable waistcoats. Collaboration with Chris Ryniak.
NAME-OF-CUSTOM: Hugo Wattleberry - Botanist
STATUS: US$800 (Sale Pending)
MEDIUM: Custom Sqert, vinyl, copper, brass, lead, rubber, cloth, steel, Polymer Clay, found objects
SIZE: 6 inch high
DESCRIPTION: Founder of the Royal Herbology Society, Hugo is attempting to catalogue every type of flora he can. In the process he hopes to discover which makes the best pot of tea.
NAME-OF-CUSTOM: Erasmus Swift - Entomologist
STATUS: US$1,600 (Sale Pending)
MEDIUM: Custom Creative Peeples toy, vinyl, copper, brass, lead, rubber, cloth, steel, Polymer Clay, found objects
SIZE: 9.50 inches high
DESCRIPTION: If it's small and creeps or flutters then Erasmus is intrigued. How do these little things move about without the need for winding key or furnace stoking? Surely a proper study of the non mechanical native species of the planet Victoria could provide a wealth of new technologies. Plus the prettier specimens look so arresting mounted up in little frames in one's study.
NAME-OF-CUSTOM: Mechidoptera
STATUS: US$500
MEDIUM: Polymer Clay, silver, steel, lead, brass, silk, found objects, vintage wooden case
SIZE: 3.50 inch high
DESCRIPTION: The studies of Erasmus Swift have lead to the experimentation with new forms of Mechtorian. Smaller and more agile than previously created. This is the first example which was able to take to the air. ( Though admittedly with the additional aid of rotating blade assemblies as the research on wings is still proving problematic. ) The maiden flight of the Mechidoptera was woefully short-lived as it made the mistake of taking an objectionable interest in some jammy scones and was swatted by a maid.
NAME-OF-CUSTOM: Fun Guy
STATUS: US$250
MEDIUM: Vinyl, copper, brass, lead, rubber, cloth, steel, Polymer Clay, found objects
SIZE: 3.50 inches high
DESCRIPTION: Able to travel around with the research party under their own steam, this little group provide support and company for the Scientists. Their main function however is as a transport device. They arrange themselves into a ring and thusly can Aethermatically teleport any persons or objects placed within back to the home base laboratories. Jolly useful little blighters in a pinch.
