DKE will have over 35 exclusive releases! (Artist list below.) In addition we have two mini art shows. Vintage Gold by Lou Pimentel features hand painted watercolor cardbacks. Each original watercolor has a vintage toy mounted on the front and retail ranges from $250-$500 each. Also come see The Autobiography of Doublehead by Doublehead, a signed and numbered edition of 20 hand drawn card backs with a hand cast resin figure attached. $50 each.
Additionally, every year DesignerCon organizes events and aesthetics around an important pop-culture theme. For this edition of DCON, the expo celebrates "Out of Order" with an art show, curated by Carmen "Jane Dope" Acosta. DKE Toys was asked to curate a selection of hand made action figure editions to be included in the main art show, featuring vintage video game themes from Pong through Nintendoh. Over 20 artists created small editions. Full "Out of Order" press release and images coming soon.
Email announcements will follow over the next week.
Behind the scenes and "making of" images are always at our Flickr with additional folders for all previous shows and releases. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dketoys/albums/72177720302985610
