ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Local hero Patrick Ma will be making the midwest feel lucky when he heads to Chicago to debut the newest IWG designer vinyl series, the IWG Sleepy Bears, and 5 new vector illustrations. Three of the illustrations were inspired by iconic characters found in classic 1960’s and 1970’s anti-hero movies.  As with all sales under the Rocket World label, a portion of the revenue is donated to non-profit Wildlife Conservation Groups.

The event is being curated by plushinator Lana Crooks (who will be collaborating with Rocket World on a plush in the near future) and sponsored by OhNo!Doom (creators of Chicago’s plushy friend, the “Fluffy Yuk Yuk” toy). The show opens June 5th at 6pm and runs through June 30th. There will be MixMedia DJs, refreshments and Patrick Ma in attendance!
