Time does really fly. Marka27 recently sent me a note about celebrating his 20 years of creating art and mentioned the first post I did on the minigods. So I did a quick check and that was in ‘06 – more than seven years ago. In that time Marka’s released two (or perhaps three, depending on how you count) generations of his innovative music + toy minigod line, designed and curated the Bic Buddy minifig series, opened numerous shows, released prints, and most importantly left his mark by mixing the imagery of indigenous people and music into his own unique aesthetic.
I’m definitely looking forward to what’s next including the long awaited black + red Japan mini-god. To keep up on Marka’s work, be sure to check out his newly revamped site complete with a stocked online shop featuring toys, tees & prints.
