Professor Shiny Grapes

Designer Con is an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys and designer apparel with urban, underground and pop art! Created by Frank Kozik and produced by Kidrobot, this cute little smorkin' Labbit has been created in many sizes and guises, with several popular mini series as well as larger figures. Jenn and Tony Bot, collectively known as “The Bots,” are a husband-and-wife artist duo from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, specializing in designer toys, miniature sculptures, and character development. They began customizing toys in 2010 and have since created numerous unique pieces and participated in several production toy projects.  Their work is characterized by vibrant colors and original characters, often featuring grumpy monsters that exude charm and personality. Jenn, a self-taught artist, has a passion for polymer clay and draws inspiration from Japanese and American popular culture. Together, they have collaborated with various companies, including Kidrobot, contributing to series such as the “Scared Silly Dunny Series.”
