Producer of the ultimate limited edition vinyl toys. We set out on an adventure to 'Inspire to create'. A burning love for art, design and everything to do with creative culture forced us to sow the Dudebox seed back in 2010. We really had no choice! Pure creative energy can't be held back. We have been surrounded by exciting visionaries and creatives from all around the world for a long time. Now, coming together as Dudebox we want to give these talented artists a new platform to express themselves from. Our motivation is simple. We want to INSPIRE TO CREATE! This is our mission statement and our mantra. It keeps us in mind of who we are doing this for and that is the artists, the collectors and anyone else who is new to the world of vinyl toys and wants to discover more He has been working under the pseudonym “dust” since 2000.

Through this field of activity, respectively projects and orderings he is able to foster his freelance work. He does illustrations and conceptualizations, but his freelance activities in the fields Contemporary Art and New Art fulfil him artistically.

Several months later the first „RAS“ arrived in stores. In 2007 the „RAS“ were followed by „the teddies“ with the motto “Angst vorm Sterben?”( “afraid to die?”).
