"I learned a lot while working with antique dolls and realised I lacked more expressive faces, emotions and gestures. And then it hit me - to create such characters, I have to start sculpting them.

"Terrible? Maybe. Ghostly? Sure. Is it attention-grabbing? Absolutely. Fabulous? YES..."

Dustin reasons:

“When you buy an artist's work, you are buying more than an object. Along with your work, you get hundreds of hours of mistakes and experiments. You are buying years of reflection and moments of pure joy. You get not only a thing, but you get a part of the heart, soul, a small part of the author's life. "

I am very grateful to those who love my work.

"I don't intend to stop, and in the future, I will delight you with new images. It gives me great pleasure to see how people respond to my art. Every reaction means that the characters have evoked emotion. That's what keeps me evolving, improving further."
