JOTOYS was founded in 2021, with the core concept of "exploring the imagination of pure nature", using IP to visualize the imagination and creativity in human nature, outlining a trend ideal with rich emotional value. Condense the artist's spirit of exploration, focus on the diversified expression of the personal world, construct the aesthetic orientation of the trend generation, and stimulate the generation of courage and beauty. We hope to jump out of the established expression of IP symbols and build a multi-dimensional art world that can be perceived by more people. W.K is a Chinese mainland artist, proficient in both painting, sculpture, and trendy toy design. His expertise lies in seamlessly combining the dimensions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, giving rise to his distinctive art toy creation—YUMO. Originating from the artist's optimistic expressions rooted in imagination, YUMO communicates the imagery of clouds and dreams, weaving enchanting tales that embrace soft emotions and romanticism. Continuously inspiring and possessing a healing essence, YUMO resonates with those who hold an appreciation for its artistic charm.
