Celebrating the recent release of the iconic ‘Jumping Brain’ in toy form, artist Emilio Garcia has collaborated with Toy Art Gallery to produce his first custom show, entitled Brain Evolution. Using the Toy2r produced Jumping Brain as a platform, over 40 top artists including Buff Monster, Bwana Spoons, Jason Freeny (featured below) and Boris Hopek are set to feature in the highly anticipated show.
Jason Freeny’s Jumping Brain Custom Revealed
Jason Freeny, an artist featured numerous times here at the Tru:Teknology Files, has recently revealed photos of his entry for the custom Jumping Brain show. Taking a military slant, Freeny has sculpted wheels, tracks and mounted guns, using Garcia’s Jumping Brain as the cockpit for his clever THINK TANK design.
Check Freeny’s Facebook page here for an in-depth photo diary of his progress on the project from start to finish.
Brain Evolution: Custom Jumping Brain Show will be opening September 16th at the Toy Art Gallery, Hollywood, running until October 10th.
Jason Freeny’s 36″ Tongue Tied Qee Bear
As always, Freeny has been hard at work on several toy related projects over the last few months. Photos of his latest original sculpts ‘Egg Head’ and ‘Cone Head’ and the recent reveal of his Jumping Brain entry have been massive highlights, but the reveal of the 36″ Tongue Tied Qee Bear will surely be the topic on his numerous fans’ lips at the moment. Weighing in at a staggering $2800, the production run for the piece has been limited to 36, with orders now being taken through Toy2r’s wholesaler, Apex Trading.
Following on the heals of Kidrobot’s over-sized Dunny toys, the Tongue Tied bear is the first in a series of 36″ Qee sculpts that Toy2r are aiming squarely at the contemporary art market, a first for the Japanese art toy manufacturer. More information on artists and forthcoming designs can be found at Toy2r’s page.
Freeny’s Tongue Tied design was chosen by fans through his Facebook page, check here to see the various designs that didn’t make the cut!
The recently revealed Egg and Cone Head sculpts, fingers crossed for a production run of these beautiful designs!
