Ion Tallman, also known as GrenadineSupreme, is a sculptor, storyteller, and lifelong lover of creatures that don’t quite fit the mold. With roots in toy history, folklore, and anatomical sculpture, Ion creates intricate, hand painted resin figures that blur the line between artifact and oddity.

His central body of work “the GobbleVerse” is a rich, character driven world of Gobbles: whimsical, queer, and often slightly cursed beings with backstories as detailed as their bodies. From sloth carpenters to parasaur philosophers and fungal prophets, each figure is one-of-a-kind and part of a larger, mythic narrative.

Ion has been sculpting since childhood and continues to build new species, new stories, and new ways to treasure the strange. Every piece is made with care, marked by mystery, and designed to feel like it wandered in from another world.
