MR. MARS. AIRBRUSH ARTIST. DESIGNER. “ART IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE, BUT WHAT YOU MAKE OTHERS SEE.” -EDGAR DEGAS GRAFFITI STARTED MY PASSION. THE PROCESS OF CREATING, BENDING AND TWISTING LETTERS TO CALL YOUR OWN STRUCK ME FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST THEM SPRAWLED ACROSS MY HOMETOWN IN HOUSTON. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN MYSELF TO CREATING NEW LETTER FORMS, COLOR COMBINATIONS, AND BALANCING MY PIECE UNTIL I REALIZED THAT GRAFFITI WAS JUST THE BEGINNING TO MY LIFE OF CREATING. MY WORK IS CREATED FROM THE INSIDE OUTWARD TWISTING IT WITH POPULAR THEMES. I EMPLOY BOTH TRADITIONAL AND “NEW SCHOOL” TECHNIQUES. THE REPETITION IN MY WORK ALLOWS ME TO SHOWCASE PIECES OF MY OWN LIFE AND HISTORY ON MY PIECES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEME. TEQ63 is a designer art toy created by QUICCS, a Filipino artist known for his fusion of streetwear, cyberpunk, and mecha aesthetics. The character is heavily influenced by Japanese mecha (especially Gundam), hip-hop culture, and urban graffiti, making it one of the most recognizable figures in the modern art toy scene. TEQ63 is typically depicted wearing a hoodie, a futuristic skull-like helmet with a visor, and sneakers, often resembling classic streetwear styles. The toy exudes a futuristic, dystopian vibe, with robotic or mechanical details that give it a tech-infused personality. Many releases include different colorways, special editions, and collaborations with brands like Adidas, Kidrobot, Martian Toys, and Devil Toys. TEQ63 figures are primarily produced by Martian Toys and come in multiple sizes and materials, including vinyl, resin, and sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl). Variants range from standard 6-inch figures to oversized, limited-edition versions, as well as exclusive artist collaborations featuring unique designs and colors
