Even without his usual hyper-textured surfaces and build-ups, OsirisOrion’s steady hand does a beautiful job capturing the same awesome intricacies. I still enjoy seeing the simple charm of a [...]

This weekend saw the opening of a custom toy show based around the imagery of Japanese toys.

As a holiday that’s all about disguise and transformation, Halloween shares a natural association with the custom toy world. We toy artists essentially spend the entire year dressing up our Munnys and Think-Ups and MadLs and sending them out into the world, so the conjunction of these very actions with the day of Halloween was [...]

If one-offs get you off, OsirisOrion sends us word that he’s been working on a hand-made series of 3″ Dunnys called HemoGoblins.
