Had fun playing pretend at @mattel ‘s 80th Anniversary show at @coreyhelfordgallery this weekend with @mattelcreations . Thank you to all the people who stopped by to chat. Being able to make ridiculous things like this phone is a real privilege. I had the idea to make this piece about three years ago when I was working on Potato Face. I wanted to have a whole show of vintage toys that were brought to life but wound up never having the time to do it. Finally in October I had a moment and planned on starting the phone. One week into working on him I got the invitation to do the Mattel show at Corey Helford and it was perfect serendipity… SO HERE HE IS! More fun stuff to come ✨ . . . #mattel#mattelcreations#mattel80thanniversary#sculpture#jimmckenzie#coreyhelford#coreyhelfordgallery#sculpt#fisherprice#toy#arttoy#toyart#artshow#artgallery#eyes#eyeballs#barbie#chatterphone#chattertelephone#gildedgabberphone
