Since we seem to be posting the 'Must Know Monday' artists every Tuesday we should probably update the name to 'Must Know Tuesdays', though it doesn't really roll off the tongue that well. We'll just have to put this in the 'need to work on' bucket and keep pushing forward for now. As per usual all these artists are great and have some new stuff going on we think you should know about. Generally it's a bunch of kick-ass stuff that I just really want to get my hands on. Anyway, on to our featured artists

Featured for Designer Toys: Jason Limon

Jason's been creating some amazing customs for a while now, along with producing a variety of his own platforms including the Insecta and Sewoo. His upcoming [/p Dunny]Dunny[/p] release with Kidrobot marks his first commercially produced toy and it's nothing short of brilliant. True to his style, the 'Atropa Dunny' has been cut down and sculpted like many of his other post-apocalyptic creatures. Look for information about his signing tour over at blog.kidrobot.com going on this week. You can check out more of Jason's work at limon-art.com and follow him on twitter @jasonlimon.

Featured for Custom Toys: Chris Ryniak

Chris has been part of the [m Circus Posterous]Circus Posterus[/m] crew for a while a now, and most recently created diverse collection of creatures & customs for the Monsters and Misfits II show last month in Japan. The only time I was able to see some of his work in person was his solo show This Could Get Ugly at MyPlasticHeart's back in 2010 and unfortunately for me every piece was sold by the time I got there. If you think his work is great online, trust me that you need to see it person. You can check out more of Chris's work at chrisryniak.com and follow him on twitter @chrisryniak.

Featured for Art Prints: Raid71

I don't know much about Raid71, also known as Chris Thornley, but I stumbled on his Art V Cancer website where he sells an assortment of prints to raise money for cancer research with a collection of other artists. There are a bunch of cute pop-culture themed prints that will definitely interest some of you, and the money all goes towards a good cause. You can check out more of Raid71's work at raid71.com and follow him on twitter @raid71.

Featured for Original Art: Bryan Collins

Also known as the Color Chemist, Bryan has nearly as many custom toys in the site as he does paintings. Going back through his exhibition history he's been showing since 2006, and it seems like he's been producing non-stop every since. If you're looking for some of his work you can find a variety of his pieces on his Etsy Store, along with Art Whino which represents him. You can check out more of Bryan's work at bacstudio.com and follow him on twitter @useeverycolor.

So Bryan Collins aka the color chemist actually shows you how to strip and customize dunnys or any toy really to make sweet sweet customs. I recognized his purple duck dunny from his tutorials. Dude is legit and conscientious enough not to disrespect the original artist before stripping it to make his own stuff. Definitely worth checking into!
