Thai artist Hotaru Studio’s first resin toy stands apart with a witty and perhaps sarcastic character. Our rather large and resourceful toad friend has found a way to cope with the rigors of aquatic life: an inner tube, of course. The double-take absurdity of the piece is spot-on.
So far, each version of the Toad taken on a new identity and new name. His latest, Kona (3.5”), is in the midst of an identity crisis, torn between toad and tasty desert treat. Limited to 25 pieces, the pink one with strawberry on top will be available online for $27 on Monday (10.29) at 6 AM PDT from the artist’s Facebook. To order, visit the FB page, find the brand-new sales post and then comment with 1 (or 2) depending on how many you’d like to order. If you are quick enough—first come, first served—the artist will contact you for payment details. Good Luck!
