Meeting Elisa GOZZI AKA @toyartventures

Simone Legno (Tokidoki) is the best-known Italian artist on the international Art Toys scene. Every year he creates collectible toys and creates installations in the urban landscapes of different cities. Tokidoki is the pseudonym identified by Legno, a Japanese word meaning "sometimes", a concept that for the artist takes on a personal meaning of hope that helps to believe that "sometimes" dreams come true.
Simone Legno's kawaii style is always recognizable thanks to his playful and colorful characters, where we find animated food, creatures half animal and half plant and everything the mind of a child could imagine.

Ron English explores the world of pop culture and advertising distorting their icons in a humorous key like a naughty child having fun doing pranks. That’s what I like of him, this way of reporting really big problems of consumerism society by making fun of it. Whether he's targeting celebrities or food mascots, it's always an ironic criticism, like his famous obese Ronald McDonald scuplture, a warning to consumers of pre-packaged food in fast food restaurants not to abuse it.

Jason Freeny has always had a passion for toys and cartoon characters and one day decided to go beyond their outer appearance to explore the inside of the body, thus creating his original playful anatomies of the most famous cartoon characters such as Looney Tunes and Hello Kitty and also icons of the toy world like Lego and Barbie. I have always being very passionate to both morbid anatomy art and comic culture, so Jason Freeny art appealed me so much because is the perfect mix between my two personalities dark and playful at the same time.
