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,
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!

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