About this Platform
A Munny is a figure created by Kidrobot and made out of vinyl with movable joints. The initial idea was undertaken by taggers/ street artists/ street art designs and toys from (illegal artists) who have come to bring back their work legally to the public to display their works. The figures are blank and the owner can decorate them using pens, pencils, markers, paint, and other supplies. Alternatively, some people commission artists to design Munnys for them, or artists design them to sell. In MUNNYWORLD, you can do anything you want! MUNNY, BUB, TRIKKY, RAFFY, and ROOZ are the soft, super smooth vinyl figures that make up MUNNYWORLD. Each one is a blank canvas, and all ready for scribbling, piercing, painting, posing, piling, dressing up, and sculpting into forms straight from your imagination or you can keep them just as they are. See how great you truly are. Do amazing things and create more than ever before. And, most importantly, have fun with MUNNYWORLD The Art of Mike Slobot » About About What are the slobots? The slobots are a mild obsession for me. They are part toy and part fine art sculpture. They are like friends that reflect the better parts of us. For the most part, the slobots come with stories, each one crafted to suit the particular robot, including things like searching for jobs, love, or meaning, all the way to search and rescue or health and healing themes. Some have even been dog walkers and dolphin protectors. All in all, the slobots are a friendly race of robots that protect humans and animals. I use my slobots as a means to comment on the human condition. I see the idea of a robot that uses its strengths for good as a really positive thing. Each slobot is built to last and is created to keep at least some of our everyday trash from cluttering up the landfills and garbage dumps. You can visit mike slobot’s robot sculpture art gallery or the robots painting art gallery… Are they toys? Not really, even though they start out or have toy parts on them at times. The slobots are fragile, and it is best to regard them Art Whino is a DC based art gallery whose mission is to bring together the pioneers and freshest talent from around the world.
