His resume should also clearly state that he is a maker of out-of-this world creatures and creator of characters that are whimsical as they are edgy. All his people are lovingly hand crafted from polymer clay and then brought to life with acrylic paint.<\/p>\n<p>I think that his stuff are worthy to be made into a collection especially since he does an excellent job of balancing characters who (I think) belongs to a completely new category: cute, yet bizarre. His 2D work is also great as well, as seen from a couple of paintings above. <\/p>\n<p>You can catch more of his work over on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/map-map\/\">Flickr<\/a>, and here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/map-map.co.uk\/Sale\/sale.html\">shop<\/a> if you&#8217;re a collector of fun toys! And his <a href=\"http:\/\/map-mlog.blogspot.com\/\">blog<\/a> is a fun read on others who share his aesthetics as well. <\/p>\n<p>Happy Monday! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Matthew Plater\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2011\/01\/10\/matthew-plater\/\" aria-label=\"More on Matthew Plater\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1655"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
