Joy Engine has posted a lot of photos from the Toy show last Saturday night. I had three pieces in the show. The turn out was insane, and there were tons of cool custom toys and interesting people. Check it out Here.

Here are some photos of my latest Munny.  I painted the features and insignia on a piece of bristol board with watercolors and ink.  I then scanned the artwork and printed it onto decal paper.  I used electrical tape to mask because it's stretchable and makes good curves.  I still have to touch up a couple of spots on the body, then I'll be done!

Here are some more shots of my customized Munny figure.  I used decal paper to shrink down some of my original illos and add them to the hat and skatedeck.  Looks cool!  More after the cut!

"Munny" is a do it yourself art figure that stands about 7" or 8" tall.  It's made of vinyl and can be worked on with all types of media.  For my first one I decided to stick with my beloved black and white.  I basically treated it like any other art project, pencil, then india ink.  Then I sprayed it with acrylic clear coat.  I think it turned out okay, but I've learned a lot and have big plans for my next one.

Japanese artist Take-G is making beautiful wooden figures made up of interlocking pieces of different types of wood.  It's amazing work, not only for the craftsmanship and process, but the end result.  A pop culture toy from a futuristic past, and made well enough to be passed down to your children.

The folks at OsO Design House have put together an 8" do it yourself Bax Bear blank.  If that weren't cool enough, send back a photo of your finished bear and it could get put into production!  Here's your chance to be indie-arty and get in on the thriving art-toy market!
