Vinyl toy customisation
Ke-Ai | Popobe Exhibition
2010
The Ke-Ai Popome Exhibition at 70 Juta was a great opportunity for me to create a Chinxxx and Pandaxxx vinyl toy, 2010. Photos courtesy of Gavin Goodman. This exhibition had several illustrators and artists, of which everyone was given a large and small popobe.
Here are some of my prep sketches for the planning of the colouring, the images were messed up due to accidentally spilling thinners on them. The planning had to be made for vinyl sticker stencils and spray paint. Tt was quite a challenge by planning to only use black and pink spray paint and deciding what had to go first and when. It took about 3 hours for each bit to dry, so I was alternating between the big Pandaxxx and little Chinxxx. The vinyl toys were finished with a matt varnish.
