Custom Toy Lab:
For the first time ever, we’d like to present our first artist interview ever. Joining us for the interview is UK’s James yeah?. Whether you’ve seen his Flickr photostream, or been on his Myspace page, you’ll know that his pieces are interesting and unique with every project that he does. Getting away from the small details, we’d like to get to the more interesting part of this interview! Without further ado, Custom Toy Lab would like to present James yeah?
Custom Toy Lab:
First of all, we’d like you to thank you for taking the time to do this interview with us. Talking to you previously, this happens to be your first artist interview ever, not to mention it’s our first here on the site as well. How does it feel?

James yeah?:
It’s pretty exciting if not a little nerve racking, I’m honored you’d ask me though and I’d like to say a big thanks to you and to Custom Toy Lab for asking me to do this, I hope I don’t come across badly ha.

Toy Name: SLODUNNY SERVO2
Toy Type: 8″ Dunny
Toy Story: SERV02 was created for espionage and domestic spy work. He quickly tired of the duplicitous nature of his job and despaired even of living. Once, on assignment, he met and befriended several humans, realizing a love for humans and a joy in life he was missing. Coincidentally, SERV02 met Junky Jim, the “Ice Cream Tycoonin the Stars” and was offered the chance to purchase an astronaut ice cream shop on Venus. SERV02 had himself repainted a nice ice cream friendly shade, put a down payment on his new ice cream shop and is presently on his way to Venus. He plans on using his talents in espionage to predict a Venusian”s favorite flavor of ice cream.
