Phoebe Marie is a midwest-dwelling artist who caught ToyCyte's attention for her incredibly detailed Dia De Los Dunny custom series. Since then, we've gotten to know her for other toys, collage work, jewelery and being a very funny, extremely prolific persona (her bevy of personal blogs includes daily feet and the 366 Days project).

Phoebe says: "I had the accessories out of the boxes before I'd even signed my receipt. I got a fedora and a mohawk and immediately yelled, "Oh my god, I need two more!" I know it's not like every person who bought two mini-munnys and got those accessories immediately thought "RANCID!" but there was nothing else I even could have thought of."
