Hand-Painted Big Benny the Dreamer

Tam Dieu and 4-foot Benny the Dreamer

Tam Dieu, aka Okedoki and one of my favorite Canadians, came out of her igloo earlier this week to hand-paint a new big Benny the Dreamer. The sculpture stands at 50 inches of hard(core) resin! A previous 4-foot fiberglass production Benny premiered at Toy Art Gallery last September, but this is the first hand-painted version by the artist. Check out Big resin Benny vs. Tam and original polystone Benny below for a size comparison that’s off the charts! O.G. Benny the Dreamer was released through VTSS last April and sold out quickly, but I think we’ll be seeing more of Benny in 2012…
