Custom-Feature: "Old Skool" by Lisa Rae Hansen

Lisa Rae Hansen shares with us her submission for the "Toyheist Show" @ The Concrete Gallery, in Amsterdam, whereby this piece was customized "Stranger" (by Flawtoys) and suitably named; "Old Skool". (To purchase please contact info@flawtoys.com).

"The face shape immediately suggested a TV and the curve of the head a "hoodie", so I rolled with that and went for a little nostalgic wander. The end result is character whose face is an old analogue TV screen. His body is suitably, non-digitally dressed, in classic retro Adidas (including the sneakers). I used the static on the screen to suggest the idea of his being stuck in a moment of time, jammed in a channel from a bygone era. He's either waiting to be tuned back in or happy to be lost in a fuzzy place from the past."
