Plastik Surgery Disasters: A "Toy" Show
Opens Saturday March 6th at Ghost Harbor Creative
Join us via LIVESTREAM for the opening night of Plastik Surgery Disasters! Asbury Park’s first all-toy art show! Presented by New Jersey artist Ian Beatty, this bootleg toy show features pieces from more than 20 custom toy artists from around the country. Pieces will be available for purchase following the LIVESTREAM at 6PM. The show will be up at Ghost Harbor Creative through April 1st.
Plastik Surgery Disasters was born out of respect for the artists mainly. The quarantine really shut down almost all forms of 'shows and cons' that a lot of our friends and fellow makers couldn't table at or show work at. Money/or at least in person sales that would usually be a sure bet, were lost during the year of 2020. I wanted to give some artists a chance to show what they've been cooking during lockdown and a possible shot at reclaiming some of those lost sales.
I've never curated a show before so this was a completely new endeavor for me. Was it tedious work? Yes. Was it nerve wracking? Absolutely, but I enjoyed every second of it.
The other end was helping caroline at Ghost Harbor Creative bring in some traffic. She has been so welcoming to us since the pandemic hit and I wanted to be able to create a show that would allow me to possibly put a donation in her hand at the end of the event.
This is only the beginning as I have had many other artists sending me messages about wanting to hop on the next edition. Hopefully by this time next year we can have a full gallery of people and artists celebrating together.

Tenacious Toys is proudly expanding their self-produced art toy line with the new 5-inch tall Danger Dog sofubi-style soft vinyl figure! For Tenacious Toys Fair, they are dropping a limited-edition Cotton Candy 2-pack of vinyl Danger Dogs, which includes one in the 5" size and one in the 2.25" mini figure size.
Both figures are pulled in soft vinyl in the sofubi production style right here in the USA! Mile High Sofubi used their special marbled vinyl process which incorporated blue, pink and purple vinyl in the mold. This results in 100% uniquely colored figures - there is no way to predict how the 3 colors will swirl throughout the piece, so every single Cotton Candy Danger Dog is unique and one of a kind!
There will be 30 total sets of Cotton Candy Danger Dogs sold on Friday Feb 26th.
(Only 30 total 5" Cotton Candys were produced, and Tenacious made 70 Cotton Candys in the 2.25" size, so 40 more minis will be sold individually at a later date, TBD).
No more Danger Dogs in this specific color combo will ever be made. Fans & art toy collectors are encouraged to apply to join the "We are Tenacious Toys" private Facebook group to get the inside scoop on future Tenacious productions, and to give input into the next color combos!

CHUBU Mechatronics and Sentinel are proud to introduce MechatroMyTee and TeiTei!
These soft vinyl robots are the newest additions to the Mechatro Family!
MechatroMyTee was created as a bodyguard robot to protect young children in urban environments. He can speak simple words and lift heavy luggage. In case of emergency, he can escape using the rocket nozzle on his back and escape from dangerous situations. The character’s design is inspired by the triangular shape of “Onigiri” - a traditional Japanese rice ball.
TeiTei is designed to be a pet robot whose main function is to join children on their walks outside. She can recognize her owner's face and strongly bonds with them. Most importantly she is super fluffy and very adorable.
MechatroMyTee and TeiTei are designed by Japanese toy designer Kazushi Kobayashi (MODERHYTHM), who is the creator of the popular MechatroWeGo series. MechatroMyTee and TeiTei are crafted in Japanese soft vinyl and will be sold as a set!
The first release of the MechatroMyTee and TeiTei 〜FRESH GREEN and NATURAL〜 will drop on February 16, 2021 at 12PM JST from Union Creative Japan.
Use the Google Translate menu on the Union Creative site to shop in the language of your choice. Worldwide shipping from Japan is available!

About Ron English:
One of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today, Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books and television. English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters, including MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie “Supersize Me,” and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents, an image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election. Other characters carousing through English’s art, in paintings, billboards, and sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and grinning skulls, blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America’s Premier Pop Iconoclast.
