Pinata Portraits
I began making pinatas for children's parties. After suffering a workplace injury, I began making them for a charity event that I was trying to co-ordinate. Funds to complete the event became an issue and the charity that I was doing the event for wasn't willing to help out to make it happen.
As each character is custom made and hand painted the value of each pinata increased, as they are now works of art and it is hard to part with them to be smashed at a kids party. I then began to create portraits of of celebrities and politicians which are very satisfying to complete and who doesn't love wanting to hit a politician.
Please scroll through the pages and see the range of characters and pinata portraits. There are also some videos showing the sturdiness of my work being hit with a baseball bat. Please feel free to comment or if you wish to get in contact for orders go to the contacts page.
