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. Dehara Yukinori is a prominent Japanese artist and toy designer, well-known for his work in the designer toy scene, particularly for his contributions to kaiju (monster) and pop surrealism inspired vinyl figures. His toys are characterized by their playful, quirky, and often humorous designs, making them beloved in the art toy community. Dehara’s aesthetic is distinct, with his works often blending childlike innocence with a touch of the strange and surreal, creating figures that are both endearing and mysterious.
