The exhibition will offer the best of both worlds – excellence in toy customization from artists well versed in the medium as well as fresh perspectives from artists who have made their mark primarily in 2D mediums including illustration and painting.  In addition to the numerous YHWH customs  YHWH creator and celebrated pop surrealist painter Mark Ryden will exhibit his 6 foot wood rendition of the toy’s original cardboard packing. Put this down on your calendar now and while you’re at it RSVP so TAG can prepare.

‘YHWH is the unpronounceable name of god.  My YHWH represents the indefinable nature of the divine and its unspeakable mystery, which can be represented by anything from a burning bush to a three eyed bunny totem.  In creating my YHWH toy edition, I strove to elevate each and every individual figure from a mass produced piece of plastic to a magical object. 

I very much look forward to seeing how each artist responds to the spiritual energies of their YHWHs.‘
-Mark Ryden
