About this Platform
A Munny is a figure created by Kidrobot and made out of vinyl with movable joints. The initial idea was undertaken by taggers/ street artists/ street art designs and toys from (illegal artists) who have come to bring back their work legally to the public to display their works. The figures are blank and the owner can decorate them using pens, pencils, markers, paint, and other supplies. Alternatively, some people commission artists to design Munnys for them, or artists design them to sell. In MUNNYWORLD, you can do anything you want! MUNNY, BUB, TRIKKY, RAFFY, and ROOZ are the soft, super smooth vinyl figures that make up MUNNYWORLD. Each one is a blank canvas, and all ready for scribbling, piercing, painting, posing, piling, dressing up, and sculpting into forms straight from your imagination or you can keep them just as they are. See how great you truly are. Do amazing things and create more than ever before. And, most importantly, have fun with MUNNYWORLD Hello, my name is Marilyn Vicente and I am from Richardson, Texas. My primary media I currently use are micron pens and paint brushes as my tools of choice to create intricate, abstract designs. Many of my pen drawings have been featured throughout the Dallas metroplex in places such as The RGB Gallery, Southside on Lamar's Janette Kennedy Gallery and at Kettle Art Gallery. I've also been a featured artist for KERA's Art and Seek. Recently, my custom vinyl toy sets were part of a group exhibition at the Bottleneck Art Gallery Brooklyn, New York organized by Vinyl Thoughts. In January, I was part of "Show Me The Munny 4" at Strangeway's Dallas hosted by Atama & Company. Both of these shows were covered by several toy bloggers such as Urban Toy Daily and SpankyStokes among other bloggers. I have donated some of my works to raise money for charitable causes and fundraisers to Art Conspiracy's Art Con 8 and Kettle Art Gallery's "For the Love of Kettle". I have done free community art workshops/events for children. Some of these opportunities have occurred via ArtLoveMagic. Contemporary art space located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn specializing in limited edition pop-culture, gig and alternative movie posters.
