Hello, My name is Mar Hernández, I consider myself a professional and vocational illustrator. I also work as a teacher and researcher at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in the Drawing Department of the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos, Valencia, Spain. My passion is drawing, I’m happy when I hold a pencil in my hand and combine this activity with the teaching profession. I also give lectures, speaking about my work as illustrator and I like to say yes! when I am invited to teach an illustration workshop in any city. It’s been more than 6 years developing my work as a professional illustrator, leading my own studio: Malotaprojects (www.malotaprojects.com). Thanks to my perseverance, all the hours spent drawing and having fun doing it, my restlessness and desire to do better each day, plus my efforts to promote myself in media such as Internet or promotional books, I have worked for clients such as Private through the argentine agency DonBue, agencies such as Mccann Erickson Istambul, Satchi & Satchi or SCPF, and a long list of clients who have contacted me interested in my work. I am a responsible person, I place high demands on myself at work, flexible and someone who knows Qee Bear is a designer toy created by Toy2R, a Hong Kong-based company founded by Raymond Choy. It is part of the Qee (pronounced “key”) series, a line of customizable, anthropomorphic figures that became a major influence in the global designer toy movement. Qee Bears have a rounded head, stubby limbs, and a signature “Q” shaped keychain attachment, allowing them to be used as collectibles or keychains. Like BE@RBRICK, Qee Bears come in DIY (Do-It-Yourself) blank versions, allowing artists and collectors to customize their own designs. Available in multiple sizes, typically 2.5-inch mini Qees, 8-inch medium Qees, and larger collector editions. Toy2R has worked with international designers, brands, and pop culture franchises, including collaborations with Tokidoki, Michael Lau, Adidas, and even Star Wars. Qee Bears were one of the earliest urban vinyl collectibles to gain international recognition in the early 2000s, helping establish the designer toy movement alongside figures like Dunny (Kidrobot) and BE@RBRICK (Medicom Toy). Though they’ve been somewhat overshadowed by newer toy trends, Qee remains an iconic piece of designer toy history.
