Allan Innman, Ring Pops, oil on canvas mounted to panel, 2012 

I tried ring pops for the first time in years….they wouldn’t fit on my fat finger 

This is one creepy lookin dude. I was thinking of Freddy Krueger the entire time I was painting him. This is “Weequay” from Return of the Jedi. Another obscure Star Wars character figure. He’s missing an arm…but it’s just a fleshwound though!

This was one of the first toy paintings I did. One day I found a vintage can of Play-Doh in my room at my parent’s house! It still had Play-Doh in it. It was at least 25 years old. (Ahhh, toy hoarding at it’s best!) The contents were pretty gnarly though; it had crystallized and turned rock hard! So I did a painting in its honor.

I recently bought a pack of green army men and cowboys and indians from Dollar General one night. The cashier looked at me and was like: “looks like someone’s gonna have fun playing with these tonight!” i was like yep…but they were actually for me!
