Akashi - 5YL DCon Edition

I’ve been using computers to make things for quite some time now, since the first 8-bit drawing programs, to the beginnings of the internet and gaming industries and now the amazing things that are being done with ultra fast processing and new input devices. Many times the projects that I work on involve the creative application of technology. I like doing all kinds of art, but particularly sculpture – digital or traditional. I make elaborate, complex structures out of resin. Some of them glow in the dark and look like little galaxies. It is a completely self-indulgent obsession with process. But they are really cool.

These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components.
