DKE continues their Designer Con tradition of inspiring toy-related art shows with ‘Skin Deep’, featuring Scott Wilkowski’s limited-edition skeletal resin editions of a selection of designer toys. Over the years Scott has wowed collectors with gnarly, intricate, and astonishing special clear editions of popular mini-figs (including Yokas and BUDS) featuring realistic embedded skeletons.
For ‘Skin Deep’, Wilkowski is upping the game by offering limited-edition ‘infected’ pieces for not one, but six toys – Gwin from October Toys ($50), Otis & Otto from Scott Tolleson ($50), the Sucklord carded figure from Suckadelic ($100), the Buff Monster 3” figure ($100), Frank Kozik’s 5” Labbit by Kidrobot ($150) and finally, Luke Chueh’s Possesed by Munky King ($300). Each figure will be limited to 50 pieces in 2 colorways of 25. Since that’s quite a bit of casting (300 pieces total), only 10 of each will be available at Designer Con on November 5th.
After Designer Con, Skin Deep will hit the road with stops at Lulubell (Meza,AZ) in December and Screaming Sky Gallery (Portland, OR) in late February. Btw, if you haven’t already purchased your Designer Con tickets, head over to designercon.com to purchase them for the discounted price of $5 – they’ll be $7 at the door this year (free admission after 3 PM).
