Reactor-88 Custom Corner: MP Gautheron
Welcome to the August 2016 edition of Reactor-88's Custom Corner. This month we’re featuring MP Gautheron.
What’s your name?
My name is Marie-Pascale Gautheron, but my artist name is MP Gautheron.
Where are you located?
I live in Lyon, one of the biggest cities in France.
Day job or full-time artist?
I am lucky enough to be a full-time artist :) It has always have been my passion and I’ve never done anything else!
Any random things you want people to know about you?
I do not work only on vinyl toys, I also paint my patterns on skulls and my first passion is to paint with acrylics on a wood canvas- compositions with skulls, animals, patterns with a lot of details and precision!
How long have you been painting toys?
In 2013, a French toy collector asked me to realize my patterns on a big Bearbrick 1000%. At that time I didn't know what it was, but I accepted and I loved making it! Once I finished it I published pictures on my social networks and my Bearbrick had a lot of success. After that, people contacted me to paint other toys! Since then I often have new commissions!
Anything specific you’d like people to know about your toy work (style, influences, special techniques, etc.)?
I paint my toys with acrylic paints, dot by dot, very meticulously- it takes me a lot of time! Sometimes I work with black light painting- I like the fact that my works have an other beauty in the dark with black light! My influences are my life, my feelings and moods. I love colors, details!
Do you take commissions?
Yes of course, most of my work on vinyl toys are commissions! I am not afraid to work on new models!
