Hoakser's "MaskedMan Can Fix-Ups" for Toys Are Us!

As the "MaskedMan Can" figures were Hoakser's first foray into resin casting, he was bound to make a couple of missteps along the way… and the three figures above represent those failed pulls. "What?" you ask, "Those pieces look spot-on!?!" And that's because Hoakser hand-sculpted the brain element to each one and affixed a real fatcap instead of the resin cast one. But, if you ask me, these contributions to the previously announced "Toys Are Us" group show are stunning pieces all on their own!

The "Toys Are Us" group exhibition will open on April 5th and 6th at Rockford Art Deli, 402 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61104.
