About this Venue
Stationed out of our Mothership in Philadelphia we are Invading this planet to bring you toys. Watch the skies for fresh vinyl releases by amazing designers and join our interplanetary cause to replace this greasy marble's inhabitants with art loving Martians.

I love exploring new techniques and trying out new methods. This has allowed me to vary my creations, yet always staying true to my love for all things fun and colourful. In June 2017, I introduced Kik Toyz to the world. It has only been a few months since I started making toys, but my art journey actually began in 2010.
