About this Venue

We carry a wide selection of urban vinyl, plush, blind boxed and designer toys. We also carry t-shirts and pop surreal and lowbrow art from local artists. MADL is a designer art toy platform created by Jeremy “MAD” Madl, one of the pioneers of the urban vinyl toy movement. First released in 2002, MADL figures are known for their bold, blocky shape, clean lines, and graffiti-inspired aesthetics. They were among the first American-designed vinyl toys to gain popularity, bridging the gap between street art, hip-hop culture, and designer collectibles. The MAD*L figure typically has a distinctive angular form with a broad head and a compact body, providing a great canvas for artists to customize. Over the years, the platform has featured numerous limited-edition releases, artist collaborations, and hand-painted customs, making it a highly sought-after collectible in the art toy scene. Brent Nolasco is renowned for his imaginative and emotionally resonant designer toys, sculptures, and paintings. His work seamlessly blends elements of the surreal, grotesque, and whimsical, often exploring themes of transformation, mortality, and personal mythology. Nolasco’s art is characterized by a fusion of “cute characters with nightmarish backdrops,” creating pieces that are both endearing and unsettling. He employs a diverse palette and mixed media techniques to craft unique textures and forms, reflecting his belief in constant evolution and the interplay between life and art
