One Eyed King Mickey

Mickey Mouse has been a significant figure in the designer toy world, inspiring numerous art toy collaborations that reinterpret the beloved Disney character in unique and artistic ways. These collectibles range from stylized vinyl figures to high-end sculptures, blending pop culture nostalgia with contemporary art and streetwear influences. Medicom Toy has produced multiple Mickey Mouse-themed BE@RBRICK figures, featuring classic, modern, and experimental designs. These range from vintage black-and-white Mickey to collaborations with streetwear brands like BAPE and fragment design. In collaboration with Disney, street artist KAWS created a now-iconic Companion Mickey, which reimagines Mickey Mouse in his signature “X” eyes and slouched posture, giving the character a melancholic and deconstructed look. Various artists, including Ron English and Sket One, have produced unofficial Mickey-inspired art toys that offer satirical, surreal, or edgy interpretations of the classic Disney icon. I am an Artist based out of Chicago, IL. I’ve been illustrating, painting, and doing anything and everything art for the past 7 years. I’ve done various works from t-shirt design to logos to illustrating books to commission pieces. For the past year, I’ve gotten the most exposure for my custom work on vinyl toys. My work has been featured on multiple website and online forums as well as in print. Mid 2009 I developed a character named “Jonny Hancock” based on one of Chicago’s greatest buildings. Jonny Hancock is currently selling at Rotofugi, a designer toy store in Chicago. One of my latest custom designer toys was just featured on Kid Robot’s blog -The Kronikle. I like just to BE CREATIVE.
