March 30/2020 Edition of TOP TEN BLOGPOSTS THE PAST WEEK ON TOYSREVIL
Featured today is the March 30th Edition of Top Ten Blogposts for the Past Week on the TOYSREVIL-blog, helping bring a close to the Month of March 2020, of a year thus far fueled by fear of the pandemic known as COVID-19, as reflected in some posts on this list - all of whom have been generated by YOU, my dear readers, based on your reading/clicking preference!
As much as this blog's primary focus is "designer / art toys", mayhap this is not just a time for "buy Buy BUY", but also to have some more ART in our daily lives, IMHO.
THANK YOU ALL for reading thus far, and for your continued support.
Stay safe and Stay Healthy, and have a fab new week ahead!
Cheers
Andy TOYSREVIL

#3: "AMABIE アマビエ The Yokai" is a character from Japanese lore since adopted by artists (started from the East / Japan), and interpreted in a myriad of styles and aesthetics, in a wwworldwide art-challenge / "fight" against COVID-19, a select few are featured here (all credited and linked back, of course) in a ongoing #amabiechallenge ...
