Vacant and Near Point Toys bring you a 2-foot high DIY vinyl canine who answers to "Brooklyn" (designed by Bradley Theodore). A DIY toy is a blank canvas full of potential waiting for artists and creative peeps to bring crazy, sick, and inspired visions to reality. A an impressive set of talented folks got busy on "Brooklyn" for a custom show which opened on the 25th (VIP) and yesterday (27th) at the Showroom NYC, Toy Tokyo’s gallery. There’s lots of buzz about Everlast’s creation — it’s the orange and chrome colored canine. Speaking of buzz… Tristan Eaton opted for something ‘out-of-the-box’ and decided to do a 3′ x 3′ painting (see it below) and auction both the painting and the blank dog on Ebay. Doing so turns the auction into an interactive aspect of the art and also focuses attention on the ambiguous role Ebay plays in the designer toy world (more info). Thanks to Shinigami of Near Point Toys for taking and sharing these great pics of the toys and the party. Speaking of party — looks like there was a huge turnout… I spy some pretty well-known faces — including NYC Lase, Voltaire, Tristan Eaton, the Toy Baroness, Andrew Bell, and I’m sure you all will point out others! Also, check out the lucky guy who won a GID Brooklyn! If you can help with captions post a comment or send us mail at vinylpulse@gmail.com.
Enjoy all the creative talent on display here. If you missed the opening, the show runs through September 9th.
