Original “Oeuff” platform toy and customized samples (2004). 

Back in 2004, having been a collector of vinyl toys for some time, I decided to take a shot at creating my own figure.  I designed the “Oeuff” platform figure modeled off the egg or oeuf theme, pulled some money together, found a manufacturer and within six months, I approved the sculpt and we were ready for production!  Could it be that simple?  Unfortunately not.  Between production delays, factory errors, a financial crises and shady middle men, production eventually halted.  Despite these complications, I have no regrets.  I learned a lot, didn’t lose all my money and the experience of watching a design materialize was incredible.

When I first started Boutiqueoeuff, I dreamed of gradually building a full lineup of figures that would form a gallery or boutique like collection.  Although production never came through, I figured I could use some of the blank samples I received and continued building my own mini collection.  These custom Oeuffs are what I created and they are based on my interest, those who have inspired or helped me along the way and aspects of my daily life.
