"Junta Project" by A STGFSH
Josiah Navarro shares with us "Junta Project by A STGFSH": A Project borne from his initial plan to launch his own 1/6 designer toy named "Junta", in Brisbane Australia (where he is currently based), but has since been delayed due to the Covid-19 situation.
Part of this toy launch will be an art exhibit showcasing artworks of different artists all over the world, featuring their interpretations of "Junta". These one-off prints will be framed, displayed and sold during the launch.

All net profit will go to the artist that sells their print. Folks involved thus far include comicbook artists, tattoo artists, street artists, graphic designs, photographers etc. Besides the artwork previewed here, more can be found on his Insta @astgfsh. Josiah is also currently looking for further contributions;
"We are looking for more artists that would like to contribute an artwork of Junta. Chosen artworks will be printed and sold at the night and will also be included in an artbook that I am planning to publish. In order to get this artbook started, I am hoping to have at least 50 artworks and still about 20 short.
If you are interested and would like to submit an entry, please follow these specs: A3 Dimension, 300 DPI. Please email your artwork to josiahnavarro23@gmail.com with the following details: Full Name, Artist Name, Country, City, FB, IG and a quick artist bio."

WHO IS JUNTA: "Junta is a half maligno. Offspring, of an Alpha Sea Maligno of the Pacific ocean and a Filipina Refugee who escaped to Australia. Junta is also part of an active hiphop crew in Manila."
He will be the first fictional character of this group. "Junta is a battle emcee and an actual emcee in the story line." (Read his full story in IG-image captions below)
"I was supposed to release my own 1/6 scale designer toy line here in Brisbane, Australia back in April but had to Cancel due to COVID. It’s was really disappointing as I’ve worked literally years to have everything ready I’ve been really busy with my day job and looking after my family as we now have a toddler."
