He hated school and apart from art classes found the whole thing rather frustrating and useless. At the age of 15 he left school and lived for a year in Morocco with his mother, brother and sister. The cultural difference was very liberating. Upon his return to England at 16 he worked at a record music store and in 1982 became a DJ and was a stage manager for a large nightclub in the south of England. This is where he met his wife Sas in 1989.<br /><br />In 1992 Colin moved to the U.S where he and his wife started a small business making latex clothing for fetish stores around the country. Their work was featured in Penthouse and Skin Two magazines. Taking what he had learned from the clothing manufacturing and combining it with his interest in movie special fx, Colin started to produce fiberglass figures and displays. In 1998 he produced his first production figure, an anime girl called "Suki" - a towering 7 feet tall and anatomically correct.<br /><br />Colin decided to put his career on hold for a few years to take up commercial sculpture. Sas was developing as a painter and if this was to be encouraged she had to be able to devote herself full time, learning how to paint. The commercial work paid the bills for both of them and would support them both until Sas was ready to support herself. During this time Colin produced pieces for stores, museums and various businesses. A robot he made for the American Heart Association was interviewed by Katie Couric on the Today show and he also constructed the worlds largest mousetrap for pest control company Truly Nolen, which is now featured in the Guinness Book of World Records.<br /><br />Colin now works full time on his original sculptures, finding inspiration in old sci-fi movies, pinup girl/supermodels, anime, ambient electronic music and H.P. Lovecraft. In 2004 he started using silicone in his sculptures, a difficult material to use but one that helps him achieve his goal of true cartoon realism, a line drawing made flesh. He is not looking to create every imperfection and flaw, but to take the exaggerations and perfections of cartoons and make them into a realistic 3D form.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.colinchristian.com/">Colin Christian</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogs.myspace.com/colinchristian">His myspace page and blog</a><br /><br />OPERA GALLERY NEW YORK<br />115, Spring Street<br />NEW YORK NY 10012 - USA<br />Tel (1) (212) 966 66 75<br />Email : <a href="mailto:nyc@operagallery.com">nyc@operagallery.com</a><br /><br />OPERA GALLERY LONDON<br />134 New Bond Street,<br />London W1S 2TF,UK<br />Tel :(0207) 491 2999<br />Email : <a href="mailto:london@operagallery.com">london@operagallery.com</a>

Trained at the Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, he became widely known for jewellery and handbags that featured variously provocative objects such as a whiff of cocaine, cherished rings, a little dead mouse wearing a tiny pearl necklace and some genuine pistols that were sealed inside blocks of acrylate. His work is never far from controversy. Sawing up a number of Mercedes cars into brooches, for instance, didn’t go down well with Mercedes. Nor did his work of art ‘The Pistol Saints’, that was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. It was destroyed by order of the police, because it was alleged to be an illegal weapon.<br /><br />During his time as artist-in-residence at the European Ceramic Work Centre in 2007, Ted investigated many new ceramic glazing techniques. Loath to incorporate this research into anything as mundane as a teapot or coffee cup and inspired by a trip to Japan, he resolved to employ it in a more memorable work of art, namely a typically-Noten series of dildos entitled Messin’ around with Willie.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tednoten.com/">Ted Noten</a><br><br>

She also embroiders brooches in the likeness of designers, but those aren't nearly as blog worthy.<br /><br />The French artist began crocheting penises in 2004 and has been exhibiting them (so to speak) since 2005. Les Poupées Pénis (the Doll Penises) are of all types, made with many different materials and given various personas via their monikers and style. She incorporates raffia, beads, crystals, wire, faux fur, wool, gems and more into these little male members. They have been shown at gallery exhibitions, sold to private collectors and featured in a virtual mock runway show as well as in a catalogue on her site. (Her site is in french, by the way).<br /><br />Below are 18 exclusive doll penises made for her 2007 show in Paris:<br /><br />Nana:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLTwhu8__8coQ3VepUT3JgYpFFXMJfLglnrE4GZx2rMz2bMk5e9Zxjtb0gr0zM4dg7rHJEJlbRxLVUBBKtkO38XCraz9uPdYWP4GoxoL7PYNZ5Hajsdt4TEIbyNLCIkiHS9yTdTsyVoRs/s1600-h/Picture+5.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327696970094151458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLTwhu8__8coQ3VepUT3JgYpFFXMJfLglnrE4GZx2rMz2bMk5e9Zxjtb0gr0zM4dg7rHJEJlbRxLVUBBKtkO38XCraz9uPdYWP4GoxoL7PYNZ5Hajsdt4TEIbyNLCIkiHS9yTdTsyVoRs/s400/Picture+5.png" style="cursor: pointer;
