I AM LEGION The first official 3A Custom Toy art show, curated by James Brown, is here at San Francisco’s 1:AM SF gallery. The 3A Custom show gives visitors an opportunity to experience the talent within the 3A Legion community and witness how a unique independent toy company, always looking forward, can inspire individual artists worldwide. This art show features a mix of artists and collectors from all around the world uniting to share ideas and a common love for toys and art. The primary goal of the show is to introduce 3A Toys to the art world in a way that has not yet been attempted and create a show that challenges people to look at toys in a different light. In the ThreeA “Legion” community, we do our best to promote the camaraderie of like-minded individuals and the ethic of seeking that which brings personal joy and spreads that joy to others through whatever creative endeavors one may pursue; and we hope to share that with the gallery visitors and give them a taste of what we have created together on the online community at ThreeA Forums — Ultimately, an event where artisans and art connoisseurs can meet new people and 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. I'm a full time graphic designer and I moonlight as a toy customizer. I've been sculpting and painting my whole life but I've only been working with vinyl for the last 5 years. Much of my work revolves around existing pop culture because not only can I relate to that, but there is a common thread of experience throughout like minded people who can also relate to my work. I primarily do private commissions and about once a year I work on a new series which has yet to be planned for 2012.
