Tesselate – Chad & Barry Custom Dunnys

by Unsung Zero on Mar 3, 2011 • No Comments

Well, from what their lawyer has said I can tell you, Chad & Barry have been asked to leave their homeworld after a series of investigations and allegations into some clever trading in the fizzy beverage market.

They need somewhere to lay low for the next two million years, so if you fancy helping out two passionate entrepeneurs, the info is below.

Tesselates‘ new Chad & Barry customs are both hand painted with acrylic, Posca Paint markers and a bit of spray paint, then finished with multiple coats of clear lacquer. Both will come packaged & protected in a cardboard tube (with some vinyl stickers included) and will be available on the Tesselate shop this coming Friday the 4th of March @ 6pm GMT for £20 + postage each.

Tattootoro – custom NedZed by FAKIR

by Unsung Zero on Feb 20, 2011 • 1 Comment

Tattootoro is a custom NedZed made by FAKIR, based on the character Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro.  Tattootoro has company in the form of Chibi-Totoro who looks distressed, perhaps it’s all the tattoos Tattootoro has?

Oustanding work as usual from FAKIR, the paintwork is super tight on this and it goes to show that you don’t have to go all out with sculpting when creating a custom.

Hi I am Keith – 3″ custom Dunny by Tesselate

by Unsung Zero on Feb 11, 2011 • No Comments

Fresh on the heels of Tesselate‘s Derek and Roger customs is the third custom 3″ Dunny – Keith.

Keith is hand painted with acrylic and Posca Paint markers, and finished with multiple coats of clear lacquer. He will come securely packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube for maximum protection.

The Story of Keith:

Keith is really a big ball of crazy, always hanging out down the beach with his pals, he just can’t stop himself from jumping over sandcastles, eating four ice-creams in one go, or running into the sea until his fur is so sodden wet, he can barely make it back out.

Next time you are down the beach just remember to remind Keith about his sun cream, he needs factor 9000 for his ears. He is one crazy dude!!

You can check out s’more pics of Keith over at his Flickr set.  Keith will be available at the Tesselate shop this coming Monday 14th of February @ 6pm London, UK time.

He will be on the shop for £20, is limited to just 1, and will come with a few vinyl stickers chucked in to complete the package.

Derek and Roger by Tesselate

by Unsung Zero on Feb 3, 2011 • No Comments

New from Tesselate is this awesome pair of custom Dunnys entitled Derek (and his best friend from the future) Roger. Both are hand painted with acrylic and Posca Paint markers, and finished with clear lacquer. Both will come packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube for maximum protection.  You can check more shots of them over on Flickr.

Here is a little backstory about these two:

Derek and Roger are the best of friends, with one issue. Roger lives exactly two weeks in the future, and they can only communicate with each other via the magic of Marmite!. When they each lavishly spread the brown stuff on a nice crunchy piece of Toast, a gap in space opens and they can see each other through the time portal!

Luckily they are both addicted to the mighty, awesomely gorgeous yeast extract, so pretty much spend most of their free time chatting about the present, past and future, and of course making a few extra credits on the robo horses whenever they can. Those crazy dudes!

Both Derek and Roger will be available individually on Tesselate’s shop this coming Tuesday 8th of February @ 6pm GMT.  Both figures are signed on the rear. They will be on the shop for £15 each, limited to just 1 of each, with a few stickers chucked in to complete the package.

The Art of Bukubuku @ Rivet Gallery

by Unsung Zero on Dec 30, 2010 • No Comments

The Art of Bukubuku is a solo show featuring the adorably cute artwork of Silvia Portella Torres aka Bukubuku, on display at Rivet Gallery

She was scheduled in our February 2010 show however her package was lost in transit.  I’d like to think it was floating around in the bunny balloon and landed at Rivet four months later!  Silvia is a great artist and I wanted to make sure to give her the exhibit time that she deserved, so her work will be on exhibit for the month of January.

Opening reception will be Saturday, January 1st from 6 to 8pm.  Exhibition will be on display through January 30th.  This show will feature mixed media works as well as original framed prints.

About Silvia Portella Torres aka Bukubuku
