Owing to the power of artists with blogs and bloggers who love art, the ToyQube 4th Anniversary Party and Custom Sharky Show got a lot of attention in the previous weeks. I have to say that the full realization of this customization project surprised me and is really one of the best platforms I’ve seen customized in a while. Although there are some common threads (a couple sharks with bat wings, for instance), all of the artists used the shark body in innovative ways that showcase their unique styles. The nearly 60 Sharkys included art by Brent Nolasco, Duncan Poon, KaNo, Rob Stull, Nico, Stuart Witter, Mike Mucci, Steve Chanks, Ken, Banana Virus, Filter017, ANO, Dave Quiles, Jeremiah Ketner, Riot68, DrilOne, NEMO, Kidlew, Mr. Shane Jessup, Toysrevil, Sneaky Raccoon, Kerry Lee, Hans Yim, Sauerkids, Touma, MCA, Phu!, Rebelwookie, Heidi Kenney, Ultraman, Marka27, Jesse Hernandez, Sam Fout, Shawnimals, Julie West, Jimmy Pickering, Wavedog, Cameron Tiede, DGPH, Huck Gee, Annie Owens, Sketchguy, Jester, Bucky Lastard, Patrick Gannon, Reactor88, Nakanari, Chuckboy, NVC Crew, Lou Pimentel, Betso, GREATEST and Artist Proof. You can purchase a one-off here and check out hi-res multi-angle pictures of all the art too. What’s going to be the next big gig: The September 6th Moody show at LIFT or this fall’s Delicious Drips Mad*l contest…?
