Most Wanted: Behind the Hype

“The Most Wanted” (MW) is an artist collective that started in 2009 and created by Tim Munz, Igor Ventura, and Manny Rivas. It is a custom Dunny series that pays homage to Kidrobot and their classic blind box series. Bringing together a huge collective of talent from across the globe, MW1 and its’ predecessor, MW2, were instant successes with both series selling out in a matter of seconds. Despite the continuing success of the collection, the founders’ goal remains the same: find and showcase the most competent up-and-comers in the scene and spread their talent across the globe. One of the best ways to do that is to exhibit the incredible works at art galleries. The “Most Wanted: Behind The Hype” show has no particular theme to limit the artists’ imagination. Manny and James wanted everyone to bring their own distinctive styles to the table and present them on the most popular platforms out there, KidRobot’s Munnys and Dunnys. The focus of this exhibit is to display the true talent and passion that lies behind the customized toy hype. What is the hype? Join us at the opening reception on Friday, May 11th and find out!

I Am Legion

I AM LEGION The first official 3A Custom Toy art show, curated by James Brown, is here at San Francisco’s 1:AM SF gallery. The 3A Custom show gives visitors an opportunity to experience the talent within the 3A Legion community and witness how a unique independent toy company, always looking forward, can inspire individual artists worldwide. This art show features a mix of artists and collectors from all around the world uniting to share ideas and a common love for toys and art. The primary goal of the show is to introduce 3A Toys to the art world in a way that has not yet been attempted and create a show that challenges people to look at toys in a different light. In the ThreeA “Legion” community, we do our best to promote the camaraderie of like-minded individuals and the ethic of seeking that which brings personal joy and spreads that joy to others through whatever creative endeavors one may pursue; and we hope to share that with the gallery visitors and give them a taste of what we have created together on the online community at ThreeA Forums — Ultimately, an event where artisans and art connoisseurs can meet new people and new artists, chat about art and toys, network, and make new friends. In selecting the artists, curator James Brown chose to invite both commercially unknown artists who are fans of 3A as well as more renowned artists new to 3A (and those bridging the gap !) in order to combine both converse dynamics; creating a multifaceted Art Show with a variety of interpretations that offer contrasting perspectives and aesthetics as applied to the customized toys. The lineup includes anubis2night – James Brown Brizl – Leonard Brizuela Bubblegumking – Marc Dooley Bubo – Michael Reilly CKwan Chan Crestone – Ralph Subia CrisR – Cris Rose Cthulhugizzard – Michael Swisstack Dodgrr - EdGein – Bryan Fulk Fseb – HEBERT Sébastien Hanouman – LABRO SEBASTIEN Konfucious – Mawuli Dzirasa KidAkira Makadi3000 Matthew Dunn muffinman – Malte Fulda Nike Jerk – Jared Cain Piino – Michelle Perez Primer Reactor 88 Rsin Sail wwwetworks – Carlo Cacho R.
