DesignerCon

I wandered over to Pasadena this afternoon to check out this year's DesignerCon. It was good to see Nathan, Denise, Randy, and Leslie again and there were many cool toys to be seen. There we're also a lot of great artists signing and sketching.




These are Beastlies. They're sculpted by my friend Leslie Levings and they're too cute!

There were several artists working on a group painting. Among them was one of my favorite designers, Joe Ledbetter.



The main reason I went though was to see Nathan who was hanging out at the U1 Toy Arts booth. He brought some Boris t-shirts and the prototype for the new Boris bronze was on display.










I may have bought one or two things to add to my ever expanding shelf of toys...


Now all I really need is a Joe Ledbetter Unicornasaurus... and of course a LavaBear or two once he's released :)

Yokas!

One of the highlights of this year's DesignerCon was their custom Yoka show. A couple hundred artists from around the world put their own spin on the cute little panda bear. Here are some of them:

Bad Wolf

For those of you who wondered where the name of my photography company came from, it's a "Doctor Who" reference :)
