Prenute by Tim Biskup

Sun Mar 27, 2016 9:50 am

Pronounced Pree-noot.
Prenute is Gravy Toys first non-bwana vinyl. Sculpted and created by Tim Biskup.
All we have right now is the first test shot. pre-orders for the first version. Birth of Prenute is now up on Gravy.
here's a magic question. How many years since Tim's last new sculpt? My brain says six. What does yours say?

Prenute would look great in that watermelon marble youve used recently.
Has the feel of a buta sculpt, which is a very good thing in my book.
Ill definitely want one when I see a color that catches my eye.

Buta meets Gumby-me likey.

^ That's a great description for this guy.

Buta meats gumby. That's a good one. This was sculpted ages ago, I think I mentally tricked Tim into using this beast as his contribution to the gravy line. As I had spied this several times, sending little mental vibes to him about how this should be vinyl. Or maybe he just tricked me into making this...

He thinks this was sculpted almost 10 years ago. Pre buta peanuts. He was collecting a lot of Buta and U.S. toys at the time though. I'm guessing it's more like 7 years... but all our time lines get a little fuzzy.

Really stoked about the reception on this guy.

I don't get the peanut vibe. It reminds me more of that little bronze sculpt he did or ghonner but with legs. It's pretty cool. Curious to see how it will look painted.

It almost has the feel of those african clay or wooden sculptures you see in museums and galleries except instead of being based of african culture it's totally alien. Like it should be sitting in a museum on planet zeta-alpha-79 or something.

I love it! and I'm really excited about a biskup comeback.
So will the next few releases also be biskup?

LOVING the look of this guy in vinyl! Check out the Gravy site if you haven't seen the vinyl yet.

I'm in the "waiting for a colorway that I love" boat, personally. :)

I also see the african sculpture/cubist reference, and couldn't be more excited to see tim back!
