My Bio
Hello! I am John Pickles and I'm a 20 something year old guy who likes doing artsy stuff and all that. I mainly work with customizing toys such as dolls and such, but here is where all of my pony customs are archived. I enjoy sculpting, modifying and painting these figures to look like particular characters and I'm always aiming to improve my skill set.

Not much more to say except remember that if you practice enough, you will train your hand, and in turn train the mind. I do hope I inspire others to create, customize and learn and I hope that you are inspired to create.

Favourite Movies
Moulin Rouge, Spaceballs, Avatar, Disney, etc.
Favourite Writers
Gregory Maguire
Favourite Games
Yoshi's Island
Favourite Gaming Platform
Gameboy Advance
Tools of the Trade
Camera, paintbrush, pen, paper.
Other Interests
Reading, writing, painting, sculpting, drawing, photographing, etc.

Heya guys and gals! There's going to be a My Little Pony convention in my home state, PonyConAU 2014! And to help fund it, there's a Pozible Project (an Australian sort of Kickstarter style crowdfunding site) to help make it the best possible convention we can offer! We already have hit our goal of getting Andrea Libman to here, but we're really hoping to get enough to get Peter New here in Melbourne! If you guys pledge enough, you could even get an OC custom commission from me! So yeah, I really hope you guys can check out this and help out, whether you personally buy one of the tiers or just help spread the word! http://www.pozible.com/pr
