APO Frogs by Twelvedot for Singapore Toy, Games & Comic-Con 2014
"TWELVEDOT studio’s aftr. project aims at reviewing our world and environment through one of the most fragile lifeforms on our planet, frogs. Starting off with the development of the frog-motif font, named ‘frog,’ info-graphics based on the new font, the ‘aftr’ storybook and illustration work, TWELVEDOT studio has branched out into the creation of artwork and art toys under the brand name of APO FROGS, short for apocalypse frogs."Goes the manifesto at Korean design studio 12dotstudio.com - and where the artist Hyunseung Rim AKA "Twelvedot" will showcase his first mass-produced APO FROGS at Singapore Toy Games & Comic Con (Sept 6-7, 2014) via Artist Alley Booth No: AA13 (alongside booth mates CoolRain Studio/Hands In Factory).
The adorable look of the creature is heightened by the possibility of "dread" in the namesake, and I cannot wait to find out more about these "apocalypse frogs" on their hind legs, who "survived" whatever it is that is sure to thrill my sensibilities LOL
Featured here are his 5-inch tall pink-hued frogs, as well images of the even more adorable "Raincoat" versions featuring Gray and Orange-hued Frogs! Also featured up top is an image of the APO Frogs on display at the recent Art Toy Culture in Korean (pic via lightnia.egloos.com) featuring the "Strawberry / Banana" colorway edition!
"The frogs shown here are the handmade versions that sold out last year. We will be rolling out new frogs starting from STGCC in September and TTF in October and order details will be posted on facebook." -Facebooked Twelvedots.
