My name is Aleana Soto. I’m a New York City based toy designer and freelance graphic designer. From my Queens, NY based studio, I work on my characters from concepts, to sculpting, resin casting, sanding and painting. All pieces I create are completely done by me. . I have a passion for art, design and creating. I share my progress and creations on social media. Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components.
