TOY STORY: "Mr.Evilsion is the character of my creation that has long been always present in any works created by me. Mr.Evilsion a figure resembling the character of television-headed devil horns and red. Mr.Evilsion is a combination word of Evil and Television basis then I mix those two words into Evilsion. The reason why I give the name Evilsion because I realized all that much was not good and it is usually the nature of the devil.
Excessive nature that happens to me or maybe someone else can not be separated from the name of communication technologies such as, television, gadgets, games, social media. Since childhood, I really like to watch cartoon shows on TV like that in '90s in Indonesia is still very flourishing and mostly less educated.
I made a character Mr.Evilsion as criticism and as a therapy in order to reduce the bad qualities. Mr. (Mister) as gender symbol depicting Mr.Evilsion character is a part of me or it could have been someone else. I like to visualize Mr.Evilsion combined with other forms of combination of various shapes such as animals in addition to the original form that resembles a human."
