Pink Eye?
Man, I’m still figuring it out. Long story short - I’m a proud digital boy, but about two years ago I got bored of everything I was doing. So I decided to chase this thing that had always been in the back of my mind: making toys.
It was kind of a dream I've had my whole adult life, inspired by bootleg and art toys, but I had no clue where to even start. So one day I stopped everything I was doing, and I bought a 3D printer. Then some paint. Then an airbrush. Then I built a vacuum-form machine. And slowly, this thing called Pink Eye started taking shape - a place where I can pour out all the stuff that never fit anywhere else.
First and foremost: toys. Figures that look and feel like 90s-style plastic action figures, but with themes that make sense to adult me. I’m not the first to do it, but I do it my way - starting from a digital ball, sculpting it into a character I like, printing it, hand-painting it, printing and building the card-backing artwork, and vacuum-forming the blister packaging in my garage.
Second: artwork. Stuff that has nothing to do with anything except the funny bullshit I want to see on a shirt or a print. No meaning, no client, no real theme - just pure creative vomiting. The things I can never find to wear or hang up because everything else is too corny, too refined, too boring, or too cool.
Here’s the thing, though - if I like it, there’s gotta be at least one other person out there who likes it too. So if that’s you, shit, have a seat. I’m making some coffee if you want some. My name is Guy btw.
