25 July 2019



Pickles with onesie being added - to give appeal to a viewer and disguise him from Victor and his gang - Tango shaves his fur off and makes him a suit to keep him warm and safe!
The suitcase in progress

 Characters from the second exhibition 








scale differences - going smaller to try in the suitcase - standing Tango is a good reference for remaking and keeping the design as similar as possible.
Tango - creating a hero for the story - bronzed finish which I seem to go back to - it gives the characters a mythical or magical aesthetic.


smallest scale so far - before flocking or fur is added - Tango and two Poogies - all have wire armature and made from baked sculpey.
Suitcase experiments and layouts - adding and reviewing constantly - July 2019


Tango the modern hero - thinking she would look great on a motorcycle and not just anything - a vintage bike she has found and got going in her travels.

My studio  interactive dolls and cabinet 2019 The ideas for the Poogies were born here.... The dolls were collected for upcycling but proved a great attraction for visitors Origins of the Tango Mango & Harvey Bramble story. Villains- the original illustration cutout for Victor Barco and  his dog tribe Silhouette for Poogieland , painted panel The two characters that started all this project idea. A pop art painting I created in 2018   Jump forward to August 2020.........   Building a map and assets for the world of Tango and Harvey Map of world Building assets is time consuming and immensely fun as a whole world from imagination has to somehow transfer to a visual image for a viewer or reader. I began creating the characters and back story drawings  in 2019 and refined or redefined  in 2020 combining what I think are characters that work well together.  Tango Mango was one of the original dog tribe members who I had developed as a heroic figure. ...
