Today for Proto Monday we bring you a first look at MINDstyle’s Conehead, the first art toy from emerging Hispanic artist GERMS. The Conehead project started with MINDstyle’s creative head Matthew D. Young’s introduction to GERMS by L. Crowskey after he attended shows at Thinkspace Gallery and the traveling
Cannibal Flower.
GERMS combines Chicano and Lowbrow art into what he calls "Lowbrown". He describes the Conehead Luchador as "half Mexican and half American" drawing on "the toughness of the wrestler and the culture it represents".
Conehead is scheduled for a summer release. Impressed with work shown at Thinkspace and Cannibal Flower, Young indicated that there are discussions on an imprint with both to bring new artists into the limited-edition Art Toy genre.
