Designer Con is an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys and designer apparel with urban, underground and pop art!
Back in 2004, Magic Pony hosted Nathan’s first North American art show “Forests Have Feelings Too” and held our very first DIY Toy Party with Nathan as the guest artist! Oh the memories! Since then, Scarygirl has become a cult character whose designer toys, online comic, game and artwork have won millions of fans world-wide. To celebrate a decade of creativity, Nathan Jurevicius has curated over 100 artists to create the Scarygirl 10 year Anniversary exhibition. Each artist has selected one of the main characters from the world of Scarygirl – Chihoohoo, Treedweller, Blister, Egg, Bunniguru, Dr Maybee, and Scary Girl and reinterpreted them in their own style. Participating artists include: Alex Mcleod & Krystle Tabujara, Angel & Justin, Akiko Ito, Akinori Oishi, Aaron Stewart, Ajee, Apak, Abe Lincoln Jr, Andrew Bell, Ania Tomicka, Andrea Kang, Allison Cole, Arv Slabosevicius, Adrienne Marcella Kammerer, Austin Power, Beck Wheeler, Bwana Spoons, Bubi Au Yeung, Bibbe Hansen, Ben Newman, Bev Hogue, Darcel Disappoints, Diavù, Destroy You, David Healey, Erica Calardo, Eric Holswade, Emily Bricker, Emiline Allen, Evoker, Erin Bushelman, The Beast Brothers, Frank Kozik, Gemma Correll, Gary Ham, Gabe Gill, Hyein Lee, Haze XXL, HAZ, Itokin Park, Junko Mizuno, Jesse LeDoux, Jesse Hernandez, Jon Burgerman, Joshua Ben Longo, J★RYU, MAD, Jermaine Rogers, Jillian Clark, Juan Molinet, Joe Ledbetter, Javier Gonzalez Burgos, Jeremyville, Kozyndan, Karen Kuehn, Lamour Supreme, Lou Pimentel, Leah Chun, Luke Jurevicius, Luke Chueh, Lana Crooks, Lunartik, Luke Temby, Luke Rook, MARKA27, Mark Gmehling, Motomichi Nakamura, Melinda Josie, Misery, MCA, Matthew Langille, Mishka, Miki Mottes, Mako Fufu, Matthieu Dutheil/K.Olin tribe, Nicholas Aoki, Nahum Ziersch, Patrick Ma, Pelon Cho, Patricio Oliver, Paul S O’Connor, Paul Shih, Peter Kato, Roque Ballesteros, Rolito, Raymond Lemstra, Ryan ‘Downtimer’ Alm, Ryan Matthew Cohn, Rebecca Adams, Remy Poisson, Rilla Alexander, Ryan Cox, Rob Reger, Ritzy Periwinkle, Sonni Adrian, Steve Manale, Sam Fout, Steve Alexander, Scott Tolleson, Steve Wilson, Shaun Tan, S.Britt, Salamander, Shawn Smith, Selena Wong, Scott Wetterschneider, Sabina Hahn, TADO, Touma, Tokyoplastic, Tokyobunny, Thomas Han, Tamar Moshkovitz/GO-TAM, Tara McPherson, Uman, Vitas Jurevicius, We Kill You, ZombieKid Yuck.
The 2nd Annual Designer Toy Awards will be held at the historic Providence NYC, one of New York City's most opulent venues! Located in Midtown Manhattan, Providence NYC was formerly a church and then a recording studio, where The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Guns N' Roses, John Lenon and many other legends recorded their magic. With 35-foot cathedral ceilings, multiple levels and a world-renowned full bar and kitchen, we couldn't be happier with our home for this year's ceremony! The Designer Toy Awards will be held on October 13th, 2012 (during New York Comic-Con weekend). Doors open — and the party starts — at 8:00 pm. The first 50 non-professionals through the door will receive an awesome Goodie Bag!
myplasticheart is excited to announce our next show opening on February 24. We have been hinting at it here on the blog, but we are finally revealing all about our next exhibit! Rabid, Wild & Docile will feature a collection of bear inspired artwork and is curated by me! You’ve seen certain characters popping up in the pop-pluralism and low-brow movements but whether it be a panda, a grizzly or a polar bear, this animal has been gracing artists’ brains and finding its way to canvases, stickers, and 3D figures for awhile now. It’s time to bring some of the greatest bear characters together in one room!
After the huge success of the first Sketchbot Custom Show held this past March at My Plastic Heart NYC, Sketchbot creator Steve Talkowski decided to curate a highly anticipated 2nd show for the West coast designer toy aficionados. Opening Friday night, November 19th, at Munky King LA, the date also coincides with the drop of the Sketchbot DIY blanks, which will be available at the show. Pick up a one-of-a-kind custom from your favorite artist, then head home with a blank and create your very own unique Sketchbot!
