TOYSREVIL: How did the Domo Project start?

CHRIS GRITTI: My fiance is an aspiring photographer and last November she told me about 365 projects and I thought "what a neat and challenging idea". She showed me some of the 365 projects on Flickr and I really liked the idea of doing a toy project.

TOYSREVIL: How did you come about choosing Domo Qees for this project?

CHRIS GRITTI: I spotted one of the Domo Qee figurines and ideas just started forming in my head. I started to collect them and took a few practice shots, wrote down a whole year's worth of ideas for the project, and waited till the first of the year to start.

TOYSREVIL: Did you hand-made all the props and dioramas yourself?

CHRIS GRITTI: With a few exceptions yes I hand make all of my props and sets. I've started quite a collection of Domo sized stuff that I keep in case I can use it at some point.
