popsfortotsbanner Last month, we announced that PopVinyls.com and custom artists were coming together to raise money for Toys for Tots. You can read that article HERE but basically we will be auctioning off donated custom Pops in our VK Auction House  to raise money for Toys for Tots. The 2nd round of Pops for Tots Auctions are beginning  Sunday night December 7th. Let’s take a look at one of my favorite Vinylmation custom artists who has made the cross over to Pops. Celeste Villaneuva’s Buddy Christ is just fabulous.

After Buddy arrived at the house, I asked Celeste a few questions!
What got you into making custom Pops?

I got into custom pop making through the amazing customs I’ve seen from other artists and friends.I always wanted to create one just to see what kind of style I can create on it.

How long have you been making customs?

I’ve been making customs for about 5 years and custom pop making for a few months

 

What is the favorite custom you have made?

my favorite pop has to be my first one of the asylum joker just because it was my first and I love anything Batman related.

What was the inspiration for the piece you created for our Pops for Tots auctions?

my inspiration for the Pops for Tots custom of Buddy Christ is that I revolves around one my favorite cult classic movies and thought it fits in perfectly with the christmas theme.it was an idea I’ve been wanting to create for a while and Pops for Tots was a perfect opportunity to create him.

How can people see other customs of yours and commission their own?
