Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. Touma is a Japanese artist and designer known for his distinctive urban and edgy art toys. He gained prominence in the designer toy scene with his signature sharp, angular aesthetics and stylized, anthropomorphic characters that often have a rebellious or mischievous look. Many of his figures have oversized, curved claws instead of hands, giving them a dynamic and aggressive stance. His designs often have a street-art aesthetic, blending elements of graffiti, hip-hop, and Japanese pop culture. Touma frequently designs animal-human hybrids, masked warriors, and robotic creatures with a sleek, futuristic look. Touma’s art toys are popular among urban vinyl collectors, kaiju fans, and designer toy enthusiasts who appreciate bold, dynamic, and highly stylized figures.
