Doktor A, also known as Bruce Whistlecraft, is now widely recognized for having created robot characters in the Victorian Futurist style. Bruce, who received training as an industrial modelmaker, has experience in a variety of advertising and entertainment sectors. His eight years as a gallery owner and his tenure as a "blue-sky" idea designer for a top UK toy development firm have combined to shape him into the singular artist he is today. The Doktor is a toy maker who transitioned into art, in contrast to many other artists in the "art-toy" scene. Instead of the more common artist who becomes a toy maker. In the UK, he works from his studio on the Yorkshire moors.
