Lunartik- Mini Tea Tour 2011

While in London we were lucky enough to see the Lunartik-Mini Tea Tour exhibition, that was at the Forbidden Planet store until 28th August. It is a show of 70+ custom pieces of art all based on Matt JOnes' In a Teacup vinyl toy that start out in life looking like this

Some great artists took part including 'A Little Stranger', Felt Mistress, Gavin Strange, Jimmy Foo, Lunarbee, Squnik! and Paul Shih

Better photos of each custom can be found here 

My first Munny!

I bought a blank munny months and months ago whilst in Birmingham, and ever since it has sat in it's box on my shelf, gathering dust! But I have got some time off from work, so I finally took the plunge and customised it! It was done nearly all in freehand (which is a bit of a challenge for me as I always draw things out first) and was inspired by tattoos and day of the dead sugar skulls.

I did this in Muji Paint markers, they worked fairly well, though some of the light colours didn't go on very well. I will definitely be having another go, but maybe with Posca pens or acrylic paint.
