Maybe you can’t make it to elusive artist Bigfoot’s Hawaii signing on October 25th, but if you’re in the New York City area, you can see Bigfoot’s custom Barack Obama action figure. Who knows when the next Bigfoot vinyl is gonna come around, so dig into your pockets and catch this one. Said Bigfoot in an SFBG interview: “This society is so square. I don’t care about formalities. It’s about breaking the structure and rules that society has made. People can’t ignore the artists’ voices anymore, because they realize the kids are listening.” Listening indeed.
Check out the current lineup of Art + Action = Obama 08 [blogged] here. The show goes off at Toy Tokyo’s The Showroom on October 17th. Keep it tuned to ToyCyte for exclusives, sneak previews, available work and coverage of the event.
