PARCO Shibuya video. Tokyo, Japan.

Our friend Ryohei Ebuchi a.k.a CHALLENGER dropped by Parco Museum Part 1 and spent some time with us while we painted the newest installation “O’crap!” in Shibuya, Tokyo. Ryohei-San was kind enough to bring his filmed David Genetti Oshima along.  Take a look at the video he produced for David Flores Art .

During Art Toy Culture in Seoul, South Korea I found the works of Serang Kim. A truly talented miniature and 1/6 scale figure artist. The details on Serang’s figures are mind blowing. These are photos of a select few he showcased at Art Toy Culture in Seoul, South Korea. For more figures and details check out his website.

While in Seoul, South Korea I met artist Lee Jaeheun,
he goes by the name of UPTEMPO. Maybe you’ve seen his work or are familiar with his character Running Horns through his Art Toy collaboration with Nike SB.

Check out UPTEMPO’s work here on his site.

ART TOY CULTURE, SEOUL
I was asked to give a lecture on my work. Above are a few of the slides I included in my presentation. During my time I spoke about my start as an artist and included projects from my early career. I covered the process of toy production, from creative inception through production and packaging. I shared a few projects that I have found to be my personal favorites. Murals have been my main focus for the past two years so naturally I included photos of progress shots, finished installations and handful of videos. I kept my talking relatively short and let my work speak for it’s self.

Thank you to my interpreter Seongeun of D.nomade Design Network.
