TRENDY TOYS ARE COOL COLLECTIBLES
Action figures as art at The Art Institute of Portland Gallery



Portland, OR (November 8, 2004) -- From Hong Kong to London to Portland, toys as art are all the rage and collectors are willing to pay top dollar to own original limited editions. Beginning Thursday, December 2, 2004 through January 31, 2005, The Art Institute of Portland Gallery showcases unique and limited edition toys in the fourth exhibition stop in the United States for “SubCultures: The Art of the Action Figure.” There will be a First Thursday Opening and Artist Reception on Thursday, December 2 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in The Art Institute of Portland Gallery, located at 1122 NW Davis Street.


Conceived by Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale animation graduate and toy visionary Jesse DeStasio, this exhibition shines the light on overlooked artists who design non-licensed, original samples not for the prospect of mass marketing on traditional toy store shelves. Rather they are sold in small numbers primarily via the internet on sites such as kidrobot.com or in specialty stores.


“You probably only think of toys and action figures as a mass marketed product, but there is an entire subculture of artisans involved with bringing light to the unknown market of designer toys,” says ¬¬23-year-old DeStasio. “I want this exhibition to showcase established and up-and-coming designer toy artists who have original toy ideas that aren’t based on a licensed property. It’s the real artistic essence of toy design.”


This exhibition stars Anh Tran’s tender plush creation “Tranimals,” Jesse DeStasio’s indestructible adventure hero “Rex Ganon,” The spooky “Sheetghosts” by creators Trevor Zammit and Mark Bodnar, Matt Connelly’s warrior of stealth “Ninjabread Man,” and finally Jeffery Brown’s ironic superhero lampoon, “Bighead.” Local Portland artists Craig Thompson and Bwanna Spoons also contribute some top secret artwork, along with many more creative toy designers.


On hand for the opening reception will be show creator and curator Jesse DeStasio, Anh Tran, Craig Thompson, Jeffery Brown, Trevor Zammit, Mark Bodnar, Bwanna Spoons, Matt Connelly, and a few surprise guests. For more details on the traveling exhibit, visit www.subculturesdesign.com.

Craig Thompson also asked Anh to make hand made stuffed animals of his creatures from his books to have at the show!
She just showed it to me today and it is very cool!

Totally like the Craig art, and totally TRAN too!

This is going to be a very fun show.

Anh has lots of her drawings and paintings and mini comics there too.
