Store owner Jason Kiningham was way ahead of the curve curating this show, which featured standout work from today and tomorrow's hottest resin designers. Even a local Phoenix rag covered the show, re-interpreting Jason's "lowbro" lingo as "way cooler than that boring museum crap" in their article, Anti-Toy Story.

Brace yourselves, humans, as April 10th quickly approaches. We just might survive the IWG ‘Humans Beware’ Show, but with no help from these artists, who are guilty of aiding and abetting the anti-homosapien agenda. Tan-ki shows off this pair of matching, all seeing figures, painted up in a beautiful combination of animation-like blues and forms, creating [...]
