Task One, also known as Daniel Rowley, was a prominent figure in the designer toy and street art communities. His work seamlessly blended graffiti aesthetics with pop culture references, resulting in unique and thought-provoking pieces. Task One’s creations were characterized by their intricate details and innovative use of materials. He was renowned for customizing vinyl figures, particularly the Dunny platform by Kidrobot, transforming them into elaborate art pieces that often incorporated elements of urban life and satire. Daniel Rowley passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire artists and collectors alike. His work remains a testament to the fusion of street art and designer toys, pushing the boundaries of both mediums. Yoka is a series of vinyl art toys created and produced by Adfunture, first released in June 2008. The collection includes figures in two primary sizes: a larger 10-inch figure and smaller 2.5-inch figures, each individually blister-packed. The Yoka series has featured numerous editions and collaborations with various artists and brands. These collaborations have made Yoka figures a canvas for artistic expression, appealing to both collectors and artists within the designer toy community. The series’ limited editions and unique designs contribute to its enduring popularity among enthusiasts.
