Huck Gee


Huck Gee moved to San Francisco in the early 90’s pursuing the venerable life of a b-boy. Maintaining day jobs that expanded his artistic vocabulary; he spent his nights testing his skills, tearing up floors, and his weekends searching for inspiration. Graphic design by day, graffiti and breaks by night, studying Miyamoto Musashi on the weekends. He later culled his skills as an illustrator, allowing him to explore more commercial art styles and delve into the alluring world of Japanese and Hong Kong pop art. Which in turn led him to the fascinating world of Toy Art & Design, and teaming up with a little known company named Kidrobot.


Huck has released numerous limited production toys through Kidrobot including some of the most exclusive and sought after Dunnys to date, figures for The Standard, DJ Qbert, and a series of figures for Barney’s New York which came dressed in the 2005 spring collections of five of the world’s most famous fashion designers: Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten, Jil Sander, Rick Owens, and Duckie Brown.


In addition, in the winter of 2007, Huck’s “Hello My Name Is” 8” Dunny was accepted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. It will be displayed as part of the main design collection galleries exhibition on the 3rd floor as of December 21, 2007. Huck has also consigned several pieces for one of the world’s leading fine art auction houses: Christie’s Auction House.


Not to be confined to the role of just toy designer and illustrator, and after seeing his designs ripped off by numerous other clothing companies, Huck has also launched his own clothing line: Moshpop Manufactory.


Over the last few years, the demand for Huck’s Custom Toy Art and illustrations has grown quite immense. With small runs of hand crafted Art Toys and original prints selling out in seconds online and shipping to art collectors worldwide. Huck now runs a studio in San Francisco with several assistants and the coming years bring a full schedule with signings, events and appearances planned the world over: more custom toys, new prints, and numerous new toy designs for Kidrobot, ToyQube, Adfunture, and Fresh Manila to name a few.

Chase Tafoya


Chase Tafoya grew up in Merced, California. A kid who often found himself in trouble for paying more attention to his art than anything else, things never turned out as some might have warned. The stereotypical view that art and certain elements of urban street life contribute to a bad future, can easily be argued by him “Art gives those growing up an opportunity to strive for something greater than what is already so easily obtainable…considering so many art forms are connected or have been influenced from street life, it’s something that is positive and beautiful out of conditions that might not always be”.

Cryface Design


Cryface Design is the brainchild of artist Stephen Bunnell.

Ben Brown


“Ben Brown is a lawyer and investment banker from Sydney’s northern beaches.


With a keen interest in the exploitation of the socially disadvantaged and vulnerable, Ben was led to an interest in the occult and church of satan – where his sketches of idealized skulls and devils put him on a collision course with fame and even more fortune.


Brown’s major motivation is the accumulation of obscene wealth and personal aggrandizement, but he still finds time to pump out the sort of visual propaganda that turns emotionally susceptible individuals to satanic worship and heavy metal music.”

Aaron Wolf


“I’ve been drawing all my life but its only in the last year or two that my artwork has gotten to a level where I am satisfied to put it out in the world for people to see. Over the last two years I have spent most of my time travelling around Europe and sketching and drawing and just recently purchased a MacBook in order to have access to Photoshop and be able to publish my artwork online and get my art out where someone can see it. I am currently about to settle down in one city and increase my work output and keep evolving and growing as an artist.”
