FEATURED DESIGNER ART TOYS

  WST WORLDWIDE FEATURED INTERVIEW (NOVEMBER 2008)

 

 

EXCLUSIVE mini-interview and update with the legend himself, SKET ONE

by Mike Franco Nov. 1st 2008

 

(NEW HAVEN, CT)

 

How was it making the transition from graffiti to vinyl art?
Art is art in my eyes wether it's graffiti, sculpting, painting, or whatever the drive and ambition is still there, music is an art and i have played around with that too...transitions are pretty easy being it's all about the same thing.

Do you have toys that do better in one market than in others?
There are many markets, and the world is a big place, so it varies...platform toys always have a big following so they are some of the ones that do well, but my own designs also are sought after through people who enjoy my art.

What advice can you give to young up-and-coming toy designers?
Get involved with the community, visit forums, blogs and keep striving to get your work out there. It's a constant hustle....especially in today's economy.

Can you tell us what you’ve got going on these days, and what we can expect to see from you in the future?
I have a solo show in London coming up Oct 30th and 31st and in Birmingham, England on the 1st of November.  I will have some new customs and canvases plus tons of merchandise.

16" ripple is alive and well and you can get the Greyscale version or the Glow in the Dark RIGHT NOW!

Some time before the end of this year, I am going to be doing a very small run of Custom Ripples that will only be available at Wizard Sleeve Toys.  Be on the lookout!

I also have new designs coming out from Kidrobot and others...but ya just gotta wait n see ;)
