ABOUT ME

 

Hello, I am Monica Kohnke, and I have been tinkering with dolls and paints for about 15 years now.
I call myself a doll customizer more than a doll repainter, since I try to create a complete character from head to toe and I often fabricate every little detail. Many times I have counted on the help of other artists to create certain pieces of clothing that I might alter later.
This form of art allows me to combine two passions of mine: doll collecting and sci-fi. My first couple of years I work almost exclusively with TV shows and movies like Star Trek and Star Wars, and TV nostalgia shows like Lost in Space, The Munsters and Batman 1966, among others. Later I found my inspiration in fantasy and super heroes, from comic books, TV shows and movies. Recently I have been requested to recreate celebrities like Beyonce or Taylor Swift, which I gladly do although I must confess that sci-fi is still my primary love..
