All art movements have masters, the Plop Art Movement’s master is ‘The Schmucklord’.

According to The Schmucklord, “Plop Art is art that is intentionally shit, it’s just shit.”

The Schmucklord, it must be known, has a nemesis and creative foil; Pop-Art mastermind The Sucklord. Indeed Schmuck’s very artistic drive results from an internal desire to one day hate fuck Morgan Phillips AKA The Sucklord.

Thankfully though Schmuck has recently been through some therapy and is getting in touch with his inner child (who happens to be a 5 year old girl called Nina), as well as his issues towards Morgan. He is back making ‘art’ as a result – though still mainly resulting in artistic attacks on his nemesis and secret crush and other artists from the scene.

Why does The Schmucklord hate The Sucklord? What unique use exactly does he find for his bowel movements? What is “plop art”? Who is The Schmucklord?

Mr. Benny Kline of ‘Tenacious Toys‘ outta New York, USA is one of the many gods – most likely Thor – in the pantheon of the art-toy and new-pop-art spheres. A man who does all that he can both privately, and publicly to promote, grow and nurture the new pop art scene on a global level.

I could not think of any person more apt to be the first Shop Talk for ‘Art Whore‘.

Why? For all the reasons above, and because Benny is a man constantly living out his personal motto:

“Learn, evolve, reach. Do it all yourself. Don’t quit.”

Well these last few years i have gotten into the seedy, degenerate world of bootleg-action-figures-as-art. “WTF?” I hear you say… Well… BASICALLY dudes collage existing action figures, into ‘new’ art-pieces. How? By taking apart existing action figures, casting the necessary ‘parts’ wanted, adding a bit of extra sculpting to the casted parts, then BAM! A new ‘bootleg’ art piece is created. Simple to do, BUT damn hard to do well.

Once of the best in the game is KILLER BOOTLEGS, run by Peter ‘Wheatstraw’ Goral outta Loves Park, Illinois, USA.

To this end i shot Peter some questions to try to peel back the psyche and process involved in being a degenerate, underground toy-bootlegger.
