Joshua Artono for '12 Days of Xmas' (2012)
QTN#1: Describe how 2012 has been for you, in one word.WHAT: With 12 days leading to Christmas Eve on December 24th (not counting the 21st, when it could be the "End of the World"), I asked 12 friends a series of 12 questions, and I received 12 different sets of answers which delighted me. I hope it delights you, dear readers! Joshua Artono of Plastic Culture / My New Obssession takes charge of the 8th Q&A in TOYSREVIL's "12 Days of Xmas (2012)"! Take it away, Josh!
JOSHUA ARTONO: "Fatherhood" - this word pretty much sums up my 2012.
QTN#2: What is the one thing folks might not know you did in 2012.
JOSHUA ARTONO: Another part of me other than Plastic Culture is Brotherhood of Toys.
