Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. I'm MOXODON, an art toy designer based in Lower Bavaria, Germany. I create original art toys and customs. My passion for art toys raised in 2010 with buying my very first art toy, which I ran into in NYC. At that time I was exploring different art forms like painting and streetart and although my main focus was on collecting art toys in the beginning, I started to also customize them very soon. A decade later I decided to take a step forward with creating my first original art toy. This was the birth of Mad Mushroom, a frowning fungal figure, which I released in 2021.
