Breaking Free Resin Artist Figure by Whatshisname 8-Inch Dunny:

Pressure to be what your family wants you to be. What society says you need to be. What advertising says you'll be happy to be. But you can break free.

This collaboration between Kidrobot and London-based artist Whatshisname uses the canvas of the Dunny to explore the struggle between the parts of our identity imposed by the outside world and our desire to be our authentic selves. This empowering 8-inch resin figure shows a person pressing back against the strictures of the world and in the process of emerging as themselves.

With artworks and sculptures that intrigue and surprise, Whatshisname is one of the most ironic names out there for an artist. For over fifteen years, Sebastian Burdon has been taking the creative industry by storm as a contemporary artist specializing in sculptures, prints and public art projects.
