ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

As a big fan of Threadless and PatchTogether, I loves me some interweb 2.0 crowdsourcing – so Clutter Magazine’s current choose-your-favorite-Yoka competition is right up my alley.

This week, and for a handful of subsequent weeks, toy and art fans are invited to choose their favorite fan-submitted Yoka designs from among a weekly batch of 28 or so. At the end of seven weeks of voting and a delicate process of elimination and hurt feelings, a Yoka will be chosen to enter the official lineup. While the potential Yokas are presented anonymously and unattached to any particular artist (which I object to just a little – I’d like to know the creators behind some of these), I certainly have this week’s favorites picked out.

Ranging from the violently stylish, to the very narrative, to the freakin’ incomprehensible, I’m sure we’re going to see a whole mess of unexpected creations, both amateur and sexy, so check back every week to voice your very important opinion about the future of the adFunture Yoka.
