Cant seem to post u a message on customtoylab so i’m here on ur site instead………
Sorry to disappoint with no back story. It’s a dream van design that I would love to paint in real but I don’t know anyone who has a van! The influence for this particular style comes from graff legend Totem2 of the infamous TATS Cru. Both of us share the same passion for a blend of mechanics and organics fused to create a new form of organism.
There is another side to it, it can be found at http://www.espvisuals.com/page34.htm scroll near to the bottom and you will see a pic called Van by Irie 05……that’s the other side. Thanks for your questions and watch out for some more customs I will post.
Thanks for the link–your stuff is a lot of fun–it’s kind of surreal looking at your work because at first glance it looks like you’ve tagged full-sized vehicles. However, they’re all toys, so it’s pretty cool. I’m not familiar with Graff Legend–I’m new to the custom toy scene, so I’m still learning. I totally dig the idea of blending mechanics and organics, though. Very cool concept and something I’ve been doing with some of my fiction, actually. I do look forward to more of your stuff. Good luck with it!

No backstory for this one? Any specific influences for the style of the paint job? Is there anything on the other side?
Just curious.
I do dig it, though. Very cool look to it, imo. Any plans to do this full size?

Hi Pete,
What i meant to say earlier was, Totem2 (my inspiration) is a Graffiti legend on the streets of L.A.
