11 PIXS for 2011: Otto Björnik
"I started 2011 with the plan of customizing toys. And I experimented painting on vinyl with a Trikky last February. Then came Kidrobot's Munny World contest on May and I created four more. After the contest, I sold everything and spent all the money in toys. I then started customizing for private collectors while planning for the 32-toy series Shah Mat II: The Great Sartorial Conundrum. All in all, I produced 45 toys in 2011. I never expected that what started as an escape from my more serious projects would give me such fulfillment. It is a feat that I don't think I can ever emulate. But who knows, I still have at least a hundred toys lying around.:D"
See full images on Otto's Flickr-album. I remember featuring Otto Björnik's first ever custom toy back in 2010, and having met the man personally at STGCC that year was a real treat! And now the images of his customs continue to amaze and charm me, in all it's monotone beauty and refined mood. You rock Otto!
