Gary Baseman is an artist based in San Fran whose vinyl toys and art youve probably seen all over the place but didnt know it. This guy is AWESOME! He is influenced ( both illustration and toys) by pop art. Mexicano and his american toys, advertising figures and sculptures from the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's - The big bold eyes are VERY Betty Boop-ish. The figures are very american, and his range of figures named 'Dunces' most certainly rifs off of this . Some of his illustrations are painted on top of typically american advertisments.

A little closer to figuring out how to make my figures quintessentially LDN/British
