Tell us a little bit about yourself & your background?
David: I got into the designer toy industry by a happy accident. I saw some cool vinyl toy speakers in the back of a magazine which led me to the London Kidrobot store. I picked up a few blind box dunnys and a DIY munny and I was hooked.
What is your favourite platform to customise?
David: I love working on lots of different platforms but currently my favourite is the android as it works really well with my simple and clean style.
If you could collab with any artist(s), who would it be?
David: There are lots of different artists I’d like to work with, and one if those I am collaborating with this year, and that is Uncle Absinthe. (You can read about this collaboration HERE)

David: My biggest influence of the last year is getting married and getting our new beagle puppy. Both have taught me a lot about the importance of being organised and being efficient with my time.
David: This year I have a few news things along size the wide selection of customs at my booth. The first is my collaborative vinylmation piece when worlds collide with uncle absinthe. The second is my first attempt at original sculpture in the shape of my pop art stag heads. (We covered David’s Faux Taxidermy HERE)

What are you most looking forward to seeing?
David: I’m most looking forward to seeing what The Toy Chronicle bring this year, that and catching up with everyone.
David: If I could have any artist appear at ToyCon UK, it would be Joe Ledbetter.
If your house was on fire and you could save one toy in it, what would it be?
David: If I could save one toy from a house fire, it would be my Pico and Wilshire Ice Edition by Joe Ledbetter.
