2000AD DR AND QUINCH PLUSHES





In December 2005 Chum 101 brought to life two of the best loved personalities from the UK's 2000AD Science Fiction comic. Created in 3D for the first time these large scale soft sculptures of the characters DR & Quinch were hand made, complete with I-Saw Print costumes, for the Zarjaz 2000AD Exhibition. In his own words " I'd decided, if I was going up against so many other artists/ designers in such a big group show, then I'd better go into battle mode and come with something a bit extra special. 2000AD was one of my first loves, so it meant a lot to do this and by choosing this way of working it was only ever gonna be a choice between a handful of characters from the comic's history who had the necessary funky cartoon edge. After toying with the idea of Ace Trucking Co, I was like no it's gotta be the these guys."

The attitude of the original troublesome, alien punk JD duo lent itself to the graffiti character style interpretation and the soft sculpture plush medium so well that the head of 2000AD Tharg himself (AKA Pat Mills) expressed an immediate interest in a production of soft toy versions, watch this space.

BRAND IN THE SAND





Over the years we've enjoyed creating 3D sculptural versions of our logo and logo mascot characters out of different materials. Here you can see a snowman version and a sandcastle version, which we created in the outdoor sandpit beach area at Bread and Butter Trade Show in Berlin which we named "Brand in the Sand".

WELCOME TO I-SAW THE WORLD



The way we see it is we don't want our thinking to be fenced in, so we are burning down the dividing lines, up rooting the boundary walls and we believe this is the way for the modern day creative.

We are just as at home expressing ourselves through a spraycan, as a sewing machine, or with carving and engraving tools, through the medium of Fashion, Sculpture, Graffiti or tradtional Folk Art handicrafts.

We've been meaning to start blogging for a while now so we have an archive of stuff to share with you before we catch up with the present. What you will see here is the stuff we make and create, illustrating our mission to share the world with you through our eyes.
