Finding NEMO aka artist Mike Mendez ...

These stunning hand carved and painted sculptures are created by the mega talented hands of NEMO (aka Mike Mendez). I have to admit that I've been unable to find out much about the man behind the magic, however you can clearly see why he's so hot on the designer toy scene at the moment.

 

When you consider that the piece above "Hello Tiki Hello Kitty" measures just 6cm in height you get a sense of the detail involved! These hand painted and carved pieces don't last long after they are posted on the Tenacious Toys website so you need to stay in touch with what he's up to via his blog Nemo's Sculpture Studio and get to the newly listed items quickly!
