Artist Name: idle.
Artist Website: www.idleware.com
Artist location: Kassel, about it Germany
Toy Type: Creative Kokeshi
Toy Story: On my recent travels I came through the village of Arashiyama. Taking a hike in the deep forests and steep hills of said area I came upon an old abandoned house. I could not resist the temptation and dug through the decay in hope of finding something valuable. However not much was left that seemed of interest and the only thing that I managed to find was a little copper kokeshi. Not only was the material for this sculpture unusual but also the paint job was unlike anything I had ever seen. If it hadn’t been for the strangely compelling depiction of eyes and mouths I would have thrown this chunk of metal away long ago. However as my journey hasn’t ended yet and recently strange things have been happening I am sending you this as a greeting and souvenir from a vastly different culture which I have yet to understand…

Custom Toy Lab is in desperate need of a fix up. I want this to be more community based and so I have decided to make it a blog using the WordPress MU software. The only problem is I have never worked with that before. I also have other commitments so I am looking for 1 or 2 people for the following roles;

1) WordPress coder and graphic designer. Re design the site using WordPress MU and look after it from time to time to make sure it is running smoothly. The aim is to make a cool yet easy to use site. This could be a perfect opportunity to expand your portfolio.

2) Blog master. Someone who can look after the blog on a part time basis. Make sure there are no spam posts on the site. Make sure artists are not using the site in the wrong way. Post about custom events and exhibitions. Get involved in promoting the site. Look for new artists to join the site and get involved with Custom Toy lab.

The good news is that we can now afford to pay for these services. If you are interested in the 2 opportunities above please contact me on toys@customtoylab.com to discuss this further.

Artist Name: Cragmire
Artist Website: www.myspace.com/cragmirepeace
Artist location: Orlando, health care FL (Orange County)
Toy Name: Stars & Stripes
Toy Type: Kaniza – StarFish
Toy Story: This custom design is full of my heavy symbolism, cost and tries to showcase the dichotomy between government authority and lawbreakers, as well as my overall love for the Old West. I also pulled a little inspiration from Bob Marley’s – “I Shot the Sheriff”, which is fairly obvious….but I did not shoot the deputy…nonono….
