Shiny, small and super cool. ⁣

“My work focuses on collecting in the realms of physical and digital with a hyper fixation on little figures, characters and mons.” —Artist supermetalxbosch (supermetal bosch) ⁣
 ⁣
“The mons and characters specifically reference mini figures and toys that I grew up with and still collect. Video games and anime inspire them, and worlds that have games or battles built around their lore.” ⁣
 ⁣
Initially created using AI, supermetal bosch has recently developed his characters IRL, creating a chess-like board game with his brother and several friends, which can also be played online. ⁣
 ⁣
“There’s a nostalgia involved but I’d like to think there’s a new type of vibe you get with playing, looking at or holding one of the figures. The figures are glassy, colorfully textured and heavy — almost artifact-like. Clinking them together suddenly brings the lore to life and you feel as though someone from long ago dug them out of a rock and they were handed down to you through generations.” #HelloWorld ⁣
