I'm an artist that likes to draw messed up junk, heavily influenced by Japanese monster toys, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, pop art, and vintage manga. I usually work with markers and ink but also enjoy painting with acrylics and spray paint. I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh but left to spend more time with my hardcore punk band. A few years ago I started doing gig posters, t-shirts and album covers for bands. Lately I have been releasing limited edition serigraphs, multi-media prints on canvas, and t-shirt designs. I hope you enjoy my art. A designer toy store…In Arizona?!? Are you nuts? Yes, I am nuts but that's not the point. I moved to Taiwan in 97' and it didn't take me too long to get lost into toys. It started off simple - this little skull figure from Hot Dog Toys called Hallowteens. That was pretty much that. Oh sure, at first only bought little figures, but it wasn't long before I realized I'd spent several hundreds of dollars on $5 toys. Fast forward a couple years. I ended up getting shipwrecked back home in Tucson. I thought it would be over but it wasn't long before I was spending $50 bucks at a time on .50 cent Homies. There were tons of trips to Wacko in LA, Toy Tokyo in NY, and all types of random websites. While that was all fine and dandy I wanted more… my needs just weren't getting met. I had to take matters into my own hands. This has really been a labor of love. I geek out on this stuff probably more than you do. ~Luke Rook
