jailbreak toys presents art + action @ showroom nyc (oct 17)

Jailbreak Toys (makers of the Obama Action Figure) will present ART + ACTION at The Showroom NYC on October 17th 2008 (7-11pm / with Brews by Singha Beer).

Contemporary artist greats, such as Mars-1 and Damion Silver, toy designers like Brin Berliner and Brent Jerome Nolasco, as well as graf writers and design mavens from across the country will use unpainted figures of Obama as a blank canvas to project their unique vision of America. 10% of the sale of each figure will go to the artist, with the remainder going to the Obama For America Campaign. Art superstar Ron English will be signing his famous "Abraham Obama" posters (shown-right) at the show.

If you'd like to be involved in ART + ACTION, please send your mailing address and a jpeg or hyperlink of your work to jailbroke [at] gmail.com before October 1st. All figures must be returned to Jailbreak Toys by October 12th to participate.
