Black in White from Luke Chueh

blackinwhite

From Designer Luke Chue comes a new Toy which reminds me of a character of the movie Donnie Darko… It looks like the scary bunny, appearing in Donnies dreams. A quite unusually movie, watch it if you havent already. But enough of movies, this is a vinyl-toy review, no movie review. This sweet toy is about 8 inches tall, made from vinyl and comes with a furry suit plus a really sharp knife. It took the artist 2 years in the making… lets see if it was wworth the wait.

Available 01.09.2010 from Munkyking

Build-O-Bama

Matt Hawkins of (custompapertoys.com) shares with us his latest papertoy project – dubbed: Build-O-Bama – featuring U.S. Presidential-hopeful, Barack Obama in paper-form!

Matt also mentions: “I wanted to show my support for Barack in a creative and positive way. I’ve been thinking a lot about my work and while I love to make funny little characters I feel like it’s my responsibility as an artist to speak my mind through my work every once in a while when I feel strongly about something. Obama is one of the first canidates to come along (ever) who has actually inspired me to create art! Paper to the people!
