Tokyo Cat Fight Toy Show

Show organized by Max Toy Co, featuring works by a big group of artists.

Todd Robertson + Will Long talk toys

Here's an interview I shot during my visit to Will + Todd's studio the other day. They talk about customs they're working on, new resin figures, and upcoming plans. A lot of the figures are for the upcoming Bits show (opening May 4), which will have work by Todd, Will, + Bob Conge.

In my previous post, I wrote about my visit to Will + Todd's studio in Boston. Here's a video I shot to give you a better sense of the dimensions and layout of the place:

Todd Robertson + Will Long Studio Visit

There's some amazing creating going on in Boston. In fact, the whole region is a fast-growing nexus of toy making, worked in sofubi, resin, metal, and other materials. You've got new figures, customs, mashups, and new creations that I'm not sure we even have words for yet. And it's all awesome.

Down in South Boston, Todd Robertson and Will Long share a space where they work on all kinds of incredible figures, paintings, and other art. Yesterday, I visited them and took some snaps.

Their space is in an old rum distillery, which has been converted to a bunch of loft-type spaces that are rented out to artists and other creative types.

First up, let's look at Will's stuff. He's kind of a newcomer on the indy toy scene, and his background is in fine art. Will brings a really fresh aesthetic sensibility with an incredible eye for detail.

Here's one of Will's mecha creations, a mashup of an Optimus Prime head, some other toy parts, and a ton of found items.
