If you’re anywhere near San Francisco this weekend, Baybayin.com will be at the annual “PISTAHAN”. They will also have , (besides other cool baybayin stuff, ) a custom toy show titled “Heritage and Heroes” which will be the the 1st Filipino themed custom toy show… and yes Two of my Custom Munny Pieces (photo seen here) are there. So check them out! Yay!

Joe Ledbetter
If my art would be in a canvas or in a vinyl toy… it would look some kinda like JLed’s style (but of course his is way better). The first time I saw his paintings, i fell in love with it. His creatures might be simple but they tell a story, it has depth. I love the way he uses thick broad lines in his art. It brings out the “angas” sa mga gawa nya. Another thing that amazes me is that he can make his characters kinda like pop out or like embossed by his shadings, a real genius!
So more than being engulfed with his artworks, I stumbled upon his vinyl toy designs and i can’t describe how so excited I was to have them all ! grabe pero matagal na pala nilabas yung toys nya, nung 2007 pa, so malamang yung iba eh hina-haunting ko pa.. pero someday… I’ll have them.
Definitely Joe Ledbetter tops my favorites in Vinyl Toy Designs.

Padu the Wood Warrior
This is my toy custom for a 4” Munnyworld “bub” figure. I wanted to do a panda because of the simplicity of being black and white. I added a wooden sword coz I always wanted to buy a wooden japanese samurai but never got one. So in fusing both desires this was the outcome.
