Secure your work


I made this little guy, which I called "CHEWBOT"  for an art exhibit at The Fall Tattooing in Vancouver a few months ago,  the show was a toyshow.  I came to the opening excited to see my toy exhibited with the rest of the toys.   I looked around and never saw my toy on display.   The organizer called me over and informed me that that morning when he came to work my piece had been damaged but last night when he left for home my piece was in perfect shape.
I was reimbursed for the value of my piece and left with my broken toy.  What a drag.
I ended up making a new toy out of it which I called
"The Fall of CHEWBOT"  I also ended up giving it to the owner of The Fall.   
  I am in the process of making some more CHEWBOTS.
