It all begAN with an idea.
A cross section of everything I love. Thrifting. Character design. collectible art objects.
My name is Gavin Bonilla. My whole life I have loved to create. I learned how to hand sew at a young age, and as a kid the thought of creating sock creatures really enamored me. Taking an idea of a character in my head, and then applying it to something in real life.
Something tangible to exist in the world.
As I grew older I discovered art toys and started collecting them, because I loved the concept of creating pieces of art that can be touched and displayed. My love for creation has taken a new form.
I go to thrift stores to source one-of-a-kind pieces with unique textures and colors that inspire me. And then using them to build this universe; this heaven like place for these characters to exist.
Welcome to my world.
