About this Venue
OhNo!Doom is a Chicago artist collective made up of designers, illustrators and plush artists (who all work creative jobs during the week). The group operates an art gallery-shop in Bucktown, that showcases it’s members work as well as other artists from around the world and is home to ON!D's designer toy and clothing line. This space also does triple duty as the collective’s design studio headquarters. The OhNo!Doom Collective is: Oscar Alatorre, Max Bare, Joseph Call, Lana Crooks, Jordan Owen and Andrew Thompson. Shawnimals and Squibbles Ink have teamed up with OhNo!Doom in Chicago on this custom toy show with Plushform. Plushform is an, open-ended blank plush platform toy (think Kidrobot’s Munny, but softer...). Artists from around the world were invited to participate, each with a unique style that will not only show off the amazing talents of each artist, but also the versatility of the Plushform as a blank toy medium. Brent Nolasco is renowned for his imaginative and emotionally resonant designer toys, sculptures, and paintings. His work seamlessly blends elements of the surreal, grotesque, and whimsical, often exploring themes of transformation, mortality, and personal mythology. Nolasco’s art is characterized by a fusion of “cute characters with nightmarish backdrops,” creating pieces that are both endearing and unsettling. He employs a diverse palette and mixed media techniques to craft unique textures and forms, reflecting his belief in constant evolution and the interplay between life and art
