Rotofugi Designer Toy Store & Gallery
The weather may be turning cold on us, but the gallery is still hot! We've got two new exhibits opening up soon and, as usual, we are really excited and honored to be showing some fantastic work.
First up is Seattle-based Jesse LeDoux. Jesse's got a great almost old-school style that we just can't get enough of. Amazing... use of color and line, beautiful contrast and a touch of humor really set Jesse's drawings apart from the crowd. Toy collectors probably know Jesse best for his series "Critter Splitters" produced a few years back by Kidrobot...still some of our favorite blind boxes ever!
Chicago-based Veggiesomething is not only a talented character designer, he's a pretty awesome painter and graphic artist as well...and just happens to be one of our favorite people ever. Look for all kinds of madness (prints and paintings...maybe even some plush) from VGS, who is probably best known in the toy world for his "House of Liu" line produced by Hong Kong's Crazy Label.
It's probably worth mentioning, as well, that this is going to be one of those shows, we think, that will be not only budget friendly, but will feature a lot of stuff that would make great holiday gifts...*wink wink* ... thanks!
Opening is Friday, November 13 from 7pm until 10pm with music by the always entertaining Genghiswon. Both Jesse and Veggiesomething will be in attendance.
Looking forward to seeing lots of familiar and not-so-familiar faces!
If you're interested in purchasing work from this exhibit please sign up for our Gallery Previews email list here:

The preview link goes out anywhere from 8-48 hours prior to the opening.
Both exhibits continue through November 29. Read More

Two new exhibits in our gallery will be opening Friday, October 16, 7pm-10pm. We've got new works by both Martin Ontiveros (Portland) and Jeremy Tinder (Chicago).
Toy buyers may know Martin from his "Ojo Rojo" figure collaboration with Gargamel and/or his awesome re-invention of Booska for Max Toy Company...this is Mar...tin's first exhibit in our gallery though he did participate in the original Toy Karma exhibit back in September 2007.
Jeremy is following up a hugely successful March 2008 exhibit in our gallery, and is also quite well known as a comic book artist and instructor at Chicago's prestigious School of the Art Institute.
Another don't-miss exhibit, IMHO. This should be good!
