OK, I’m usually not one to be dramatic, but this is really off-the-hook. Artist and animator Jeaux Janovsky has injected a dose of viral YouTube mayhem into his Obama custom action figure. Amber (more commonly known as The Obama Girl), who calls our next president “B,” plants one on the action figure’s back. With the phrase “double entendre” clearly in mind, Jeaux fashioned his custom into a classic Kiss figure. Black lipstick on the front, pink lipsmack on the back. Somewhere the Republicans are looking at this and seething (but secretly very turned on).
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.
