Batboy

Oliver the Bat Boy and Mortimer the Mortician

lHe lurks in the night, he has a most stern stare, his sidekicks are Red Birds, and he debuted last year as part of Le Carnaval des Spectres at Artoyz Paris…he is OLIVER!

Oliver is one of two amazing new vinyl figures from Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters in partnership with Artoyz Paris.  In an earlier painting by Kathie, Oliver(also known as Bat Boy to fans), quickly became a coveted image, and collectors lobbied for his transition to 3D. The day is getting closer when this small mischief maker and his Red Bird sidekicks can protect your home from evil-doers –  we are getting to see some of the future colorways, alongside with Brandt Peters’ Mortimer the Mortician!
