🖤🦇The Elusive Mr. P. P. E🦇🖤 I'm SUPER EXCITED to be exhibing @penumbragallery in their art doll show ENTITY which begins 30th May! I have two pieces in the show, this is my first! Whilst creating my other piece the #coronavirus appeared and took control of all our thoughts... In response this creature popped into mine and insisted he came to life! (there is no doll or support inside -the outfit literally came to life and is it's own entity!) At least we now know where one of these elusive #personalprotectiveequipment outfits is! #plaguedoctor #isolationart #artsculpture #covid19 #artdoll #isolation #mask #art #lowbrowart #artdolls0nly #samscuriouscreatures #samcrowart #wings #crow https://www.instagram.com/p/CAc8ycCgbAF/?igshid=vac77zcnwrue
