Painter Martin Wittfooth will debut his upcoming Aesop’s Folly vinyl (6”) with three hand-painted pieces (above) in the Cry For Help art show which opens this Friday, January 8th, 2010 @ Thinkspace. The full production figures will be released shortly in two colorways (editions of 250) from newcomer Big Spoon Toys. Aseop’s Fable will apparently be the first production vinyl to be released from the new brand.
With its combination of surreal design and realistic details, Aesop’s Folly should inject a dose of originality into the sometimes overly predictable world of art toys. Quite honestly having seen Wittfooth’s intricate wild-life paintings, we never expected him to do a toy. Definitely a pleasant surprise. No details yet on the production colorways. Hopefully there will be a ‘natural’ edition.
