Trog. In 1990 a four-player video game cabinet was released in North America named “Trog”. The art style looked like Claymation figures, which gave the game a delightfully whimsical aesthetic. The protagonists were four small dinosaurs that were different colors who ran around the board to collect eggs that were the same color as them. However, the real star of the game was the antagonist, Trog, a one-eyes caveman who tried to catch and eat the dinosaurs. This sculpture faithfully recreates the caveman from the video games in his very round state, single eye, two teeth, fur clothes and wooden club.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mike Rende
Mike tries to instill a balance of melancholic whimsy in the creatures he is compelled to sculpt. The fact that they are all non-human tends to make them even more relatable to our own situations in life.
