All In This Together

OhNo!Doom is a Chicago artist collective made up of designers, illustrators and plush artists (who all work creative jobs during the week). The group operates an art gallery-shop in Bucktown, that showcases it’s members work as well as other artists from around the world and is home to ON!D's designer toy and clothing line. This space also does triple duty as the collective’s design studio headquarters. The OhNo!Doom Collective is: Oscar Alatorre, Max Bare, Joseph Call, Lana Crooks, Jordan Owen and Andrew Thompson. Shawnimals and Squibbles Ink have teamed up with OhNo!Doom in Chicago on this custom toy show with Plushform. Plushform is an, open-ended blank plush platform toy (think Kidrobot’s Munny, but softer...). Artists from around the world were invited to participate, each with a unique style that will not only show off the amazing talents of each artist, but also the versatility of the Plushform as a blank toy medium. Joey Potts studied illustration and painting at the Maryland Institute, College of Art. Potts works with a wide variety of media to create illustrations, animations, graphic prints and collage for apparel, posters, album covers, music videos, and limited edition prints. His influences include classic cartoons and animation, skateboarding, Renaissance Art, toys, religious iconography, Abstract Art, science fiction, movies, Psychedelic Art, music, and natural phenomena. Potts also creates fine artworks for gallery shows and exhibitions worldwide. He currently lives and works out of the basement of a tiny coach house in Chicago.
