Resin characters are small pop art statues, often depicting creepy-cute characters that bring to mind Sanrio, Aurora monster model kits of the 1960s, and the bright colors and themes of the lowbrow art movement. The subtitle of We Are Indie Toys is "Make Your Own Resin Characters" but that's not true. While the artists profiled in this book offer good tips for designing and making resin figurines, there are no instructions in the book (someone needs to write that book!). Nevertheless, We Are Indie Toys is an illuminating trip into the world and minds of the best resin artists of today, with plenty of process photos and screengrabs.
