'Mini Me's'

Whilst comic characters have been my most popular vinyl toy commissions, ever since I created the Davina McCall Dudette, I've had an increasing number of requests for 'mini me' Dudes.

I am so chuffed to be able to unveil my latest commissions. 

Meet Gemma and Chris.

I loved creating these two as they both have such distinctive features.

Photographer Gemma likens herself to Velma (of Scooby Doo fame) as she often sports her black thick-rimmed glasses and retro short bob, although it changes colour on a regular basis.

Musician hubby, Chris has a distinctive red beard and fabulous ginger hair, so I had plenty to work with.

In order for this to work, the 'subject' must have a couple of defining features and/or a signature item of clothing. Gemma provided a detailed brief about their attire, right down to her white frilly socks and brogues.

So far I've had the privilege of re-creating Davina McCall, during her Big Brother era, (which she kindly added her signature to and we auctioned for Comic Relief)

I never thought my vinyl work would take me down this route, but I've loved bringing each of these little Dudes to life and giving them each their own personalities.
