"Toy Art 2.0" is a journey into the wild world of contemporary toy art from the fascinating perspectives of gallery owners, art producers, artists and collectors. This book tells the story of this unique community and addictively accessible art form. Toy Art 2.0 is a must for anyone with a curious mind and a deep appreciation for strange beauty. It is for the art lovers and the future collectors. It is for the eternally young at heart." It's been 2.5 years in the making, and will finally see the light of day in the coming months!!! Toy Art 2.0 started as an idea from artist Okedoki and Vince from VTSS Toys that has now come to fruition with the help of editor Jeremy Brautman! Featuring over 50 contributors, 290 pages of awesome photos and interviews... this book is about collectors collections, artists collections, and what makes the world of designer toys so special! Okedokie says, "I wanted to create a book about Toy Art, right from the source. From the artists, gallery owners, producers, collectors - the people who are the Toy Art community itself." Oh, and I was one of the fortunate folks to be involved and interviewed for this book, and just from the images I have seen... this is going to be a must have for any designer toy fan out there!
