The Kidrobot Mascot, often referred to as “Bot,” is the emblematic figure of Kidrobot, a pioneer in the designer toy industry founded in 2002 by Paul Budnitz. This character embodies the brand’s fusion of art and collectible toys, serving as a canvas for various artistic interpretations. Bot is characterized by its minimalist, robotic design with a rounded head and antenna. Over the years, Kidrobot has released multiple versions of Bot, each showcasing unique themes and collaborations. The Kidrobot Mascot has become a symbol of the designer toy movement, representing the intersection of contemporary art and collectible culture. Its adaptability has allowed artists and designers to imprint their unique styles, making it a beloved figure among collectors and art enthusiasts alike. I'm a full time graphic designer and I moonlight as a toy customizer. I've been sculpting and painting my whole life but I've only been working with vinyl for the last 5 years. Much of my work revolves around existing pop culture because not only can I relate to that, but there is a common thread of experience throughout like minded people who can also relate to my work. I primarily do private commissions and about once a year I work on a new series which has yet to be planned for 2012.
