The dolls are illustrations of the characters from my stories. I do not manufacture the dolls, neither do I sell them. I do all of the customization and painting, as well as most of the garment design and construction.

About my Ziggy and Jareth dolls: I appreciate the interest, but they are not for sale or replication. They are pieces of fanart, created by me for my own enjoyment and as a humble tribute to the artist I admire. Unless you are David Bowie, I cannot make a custom Bowie doll for you. Please, accept my apologies.

I've seen the Jareth doll all over the internet now and I have to say, "Wow". Out of sheer orneriness, I must ask, when Mr. Bowie calls and asks for his doll, will you give him up or will you make another?

Hehe... Thank you, you are too kind. As far as your question, I suppose he'll find out when he calls, won't he? ;)

Love your nickname, btw.

Hello! First I have to say that I love what you're doing with your dolls, it feels very real, your pictures have a lot of atmosphere. One question that you must get every now and then... did you make your Bowie doll? Did you get the base of the doll and somebody else made the face? Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work! :D

Alright, sorry, I just read the information of your id... then a different question, did you sculp the head and then took a cast out of it? it really does look very professional!

Thank you for your kind words. My Ziggy and Jareth heads were custom sculpted and cast in Korea on my specs. There are only two of these particular heads in existence, it was a private order. I did additional customization by reductive carving and sanding, as well as painting.

Love the Bowie! That man is my hero, I did the Ziggy haircut in highschool - in the 90's...boy did I get some shit for that from the other kids but worth it. If only I had you're 3d skills! Keep it up.

Your dolls are truly fabulous. their skin is so translucent, I could stare at them for hours. Bowie is a major influence on me as well - one of the reasons I got into mask making. (Can barely contain my excitement at the new album yeeee!)

Anyhow, having looked at your work I am seriously considering attempting to make my own Bowie-doll. Would you have any advice on where to start, or links to tutorials that might give me some basic pointers, such as what types of material to play with, etc? I'd be most grateful. Cheers, and thanks once again for sharing such beautiful work. :X

Thank you, you are very kind. Since I don't make BJDs, I suggest you join The Joint, a comprehensive dollmaking forum specializing in BJDs. Best of luck with your project, fellow fan! ;)
