Ningyo Gosho - Craola (Variant)

Super Rad Toys, Inc. (“SRT”) was founded as a California corporation in December 2006. As a result of preparing to go public, SRT has changed into a Nevada corporation by the name of Super Rad Corporation dba Super Rad Toys (“SRC”). Since the company’s inception, SRC has emerged at the forefront of the collectible art world, by producing innovative and high-quality vinyl collectibles that have gained an excellent reputation with collectors on a global basis.I haven’t always liked stretching canvas and never thought I would be doing it on a regular basis but these days, it has become more of an adventure than a chore. It is the sponge that soaks up all the thoughts going on in my head. Having an overactive imagination since a very young age, it has always made sense to me that any artwork I develop should be composed of these vivid thoughts. What used to take form in crayons and pencil, evolved into pen and ink drawings, spray painted murals and computer graphics, and has further morphed into the acrylic paintings I create these days. My childhood obsessions with Disney cartoons, Lorne Greens’ New Wilderness and books such as Watership Down and The Phantom Tollbooth have become fodder for my work as it develops today. I have become increasingly interested in the rabbit holes we fall down when daydreaming. So many have created worlds in their art in which to escape and inhabit, and for others to enjoy. We have seen glimpses of them in Narnia, Wonderland, Middle Earth, Neverland, and Hanalee. As homage to these types and shadows of other lands, I have attached the all-encompassing title,revere and inspire. Gosho doll, meaning from or of the Palace of Kyoto. The gosho doll is wearing a hat that represents it’s of noble descent or a member of the court, thus the hat is known as a court cap. The doll is carrying a rope which symbolized good luck. The figure would use the rope to pull in ships carrying treasure and other fortunes. Only 500 of each design. The gosho is 10” with three points of articulation. It is packaged in a unique window box, including spot UV coating for extra detail and a silver foil logo. Artists lined up so far are Frank Kozik, Dalek, Craola, Donny Miller, Tara McPherson, Nathan Cabrera, Tokidoki, Joe Hahn, Den (FUCT), JC, Plasticgod, COPE and many more.
