DCON goes virtual in 2020 with a Back to the Future theme!
Every year DesignerCon organizes events and aesthetics around an important pop-culture theme. For this edition of DCON, the expo celebrates the 35th anniversary of Back to the Future—a franchise more timely than ever—and will be honoring the iconic films with a fan art show, curated by Carmen “Jane Dope” Acosta. The exhibition will be held at Art Share LA, a non-profit arts organization in DTLA, and livestreamed to DCON attendees. DKE Toys was asked to curate a selection of hand made action figure editions to be included in the main art show. Over 30 artists created editions of 10 pieces each.
November 13-15 you can view and purchase figures in two places. All of the figures will be on display in the DKE booth starting Friday at noon via Zoom and available to purchase via the DKE Toys store. They will also be displayed in the gallery at Art Share LA and available virtually to DCON ticket holders via Popshop Live – Friday (VIP only) and Saturday and Sunday to General Admission DCON ticket holders.

=================================================================== About DesignerCon: Founded in 2005 by Ben Goretsky, DesignerCon brings together artists, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the designer toy / vinyl collectibles market and has grown to incorporate everything in the design world including apparel, plush, printing, sculpture, designer toys, and both fine and urban art.

Falcon Toys originally created this mash up and gave Leah Lester permission to transform his character into the Little Lazies world. Exceptionally executed. Each 3″ piece has been hand sculpted by Leah Lester of Little Lazies. No two are exactly the same but they are so close to one another that it’s kind of hard to imagine that they aren’t cast and she made 30 of them!!! They are signed and numbered on the bottom of the figure and carded in a package she designed.
$65
Bio: Little Lazies are weird, little, clay creatures made by Leah Lester, a monster maker living in Seattle, WA. How did it all start? Leah was a full time cake decorator who very much enjoyed sculpting out of edible paste for the cakes she created. One sunny day in June 2010 she said to herself, “I want to make a monster for the top of this cake!” So she did just that… Soon after, her friends started encouraging her to create these characters into clay; something that they could keep for a lifetime. So with that, Leah bought some clay and with lots of practice, experimenting, character developing and imagination her monsters evolved into what they are today – the Little Lazies!
