ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Damion Silver’s set of customized Obama action figures have arrived and not a moment too soon.
Damion gold-leafed the figures and made cases of clear plexiglass with laser-etched fronts. Each case comes with a hammer and Holzer-style truism instructions like to break when you need great change or when all hope is lost. Hopefully we haven’t gotten to the latter yet, and these pieces can be acquired by an art collector to place next to other emergency items that you hope to never need (like a high-art version of your fire extinguisher).

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.
