SURPRISE art toy announcement

I don't want to let too much out of the bag, but artist Daniel Danger and Gallery1988 have partnered up to release Danger's first full-scale art toy, a SUPER limited and BEAUTIFUL hand-crafted piece. This thing has to be seen to be believed. I, as a fan of Daniel's, have been waiting tirelessly for him to create his own toy, so when he brought up the idea, I couldn't have said yes quick enough. Produced by our friends at Pretty In Plastic, this one will go down in the record books, even if there aren't going to be many made!
Here's the sketch from Daniel that the toy is based off:



I want to keep some mystery, so here is an in-progress shot of an early prototype of the toy -



We had some painting and tweaks since then, but you can get that early excitement going from the pics for sure! This will be first available at his opening reception next Thursday, August 5th. Each toy will also come with a hand embellished print, and we're talking LIMITED LIMITED LIMITED....email us at gallery1988@aol.com if you'd be interested and we can start taking names...

R U EXCITED?

Good Night

And just like that it's gone.

But it's just starting for you.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR COVERAGE ON KCAL/CBS. It ran at 8,9 and 10 PM. This one you're gonna watch is the shorter of the three, but watch the ending where one of the news ladies outs herself as a Pee-Wee Herman fan to a lot of peoples' "Hey, this chick is weird" reactions. But check out the G1988 logo right there on one of them "news TVs!!!" (<---to be said with southern accent)

And be on the lookout for lots of other media coverage. I'll name-drop them when they air.

CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE WORK FROM TOYS! (not yet updated with sales, I know). Curators, start Googling!

Now I sleep.
