of customed vw hot wheels and retro 80's character artwork for toys! @ gallery1988
any celebration of retro-80s is fine by me = "TOYS!" is an exhibition celebrating childhood gems from the era before video games with iconic characters from the 80's, manifest via artwork and customed (9X5 inch) Hot Wheels vans by a variety of artists - currently on display @ Gallery1988 (from April 1st to 25th) = *neato*
