It's been awhile folks, been busy and lots of stuff going on but wanted to say thanks for taking care of us London. A fairly short trip but hope to be back here in the UK soon. Thanks to @thetoychronicle @jonpaulkaiser and the fine folks that we were able to see albeit briefly. cue "The Trooper" 👲🏼❤️🇬🇧 #bigben #london #england #travel (at Big Ben)

I am grateful to Banana Virus for asking me to customize his iconic Loic Bear for his 10th anniversary show. Upon receiving the piece, I tried to think of someway I could pay tribute to the artist without obscuring his signature polygon style. It was at that moment I decided to create a tribute piece to the artist, rather than reinterpret. Thus, I took my ghost girl character, Locket, and created it in a style that would compliment the Loic bear. Incorporating my version of BV's motto, "No Pain No Gain", I decided to call mine "No Love No Life". The pieces are meant to be displayed together, raw, and showing emotion and interaction between the two despite their exterior hard edges. Congratulations to BV on ten years of being able to express yourself freely through your art. Here's to another 10 more.

If you're in the area, please be sure to check out the entire con as it's literally the absolutely best place to be if you're into art and collectibles.

Super humbled that the exclusive @kidrobot patina colorway of the "It's a FAD" 20" Dunny has sold out. Thank you to the amazing team at KR, past and present, who worked so tirelessly on this project. Behind every release of every collectible, there is a group of passionate people who nurture, foster and shepherd ideas. In presenting it to the public, the wish is that it will communicate to those out there who may enjoy it or to spark creativity in others. With this piece, I know they took a chance on trying something different and I'm thankful for their staunch belief in this design. The pearlescent 20" FAD releases in a couple of weeks at DesignerCon in Pasadena and we'll be announcing some cool stuff for that event as well. Thanks for the support and love everyone. 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻. #fad #dunny #Kidrobot #jryu #sculpture #gothic #baroque #art #artcollectible #thankful
