Usugrow: New Secret Base Toy

It was spoken just below, but it is public notoriety that the novelties of the "secret base" bloom even faster than the public appearances of our president. To assimilate well it is better to have the vista permanently, and as much as to do, not that of Microsoft. Now that the phenomenon "Neo-Kaiju", "Ugly Toys" or even "Crack Toys" is much more installed than a few months ago in our French Toy Landscape (PNF), it is legitimate to focus more on the subject and anticipate at best while supporting and husking the most striking and innovative outings. At the end of the simple color-varying which are certainly the first interest, Secret Base goes regularly new forms and characters, without too many repetitions even if some forms of body are sometimes reused on Tel or T such. Obviously what we propose here Usugrow is sufficiently distant from the flagship kajus to hit a big blow. Usugrow is a Japanese artist whose power of his calligraphy and his drawing may have argued you in the number of Juxtapoz # 77 and the interview conducted by Mike Giant with whom he has a lot of common artistic points. Talent typographer, rigorous illustrator, its technique all in points and graphic universe borrowing holy figures diverted even returned, of disturbing dirty cries and patchy heads conquered the demanding skate brands, the death-metallous struck ( pleonasm) and tattooles in search of inspiration. Halfway between a pushead and a Mike Giant, Usugrow offers us a new form of frankly more human monster than we usually see. The body of the beast - let's call the Usugrow for the moment - resolutely Badass, gives a clear side more Street than all that we have seen at SB until then. The human skull overlooking everything (normal you did not want a teddy's head or an oh kitten!) Half concealed under a bandana and featuring a brush and a feather at the back of the cranial box and exceeding on both sides; Two creative instruments found in the majority of his works because the tribute to the tool is omnipresent in his work, undoubtedly linked to the use of these different techniques (thin points in rotring for the drawings and Brush for calligraphy). This mix of styles is found in this figurine that mixes all-degree urban vinyl for posture and Kaiju for the head. This first proto is black, like all the first versions of the Secret Base Togy, and we reasonably triggers to see the incredible versions and colors Fofolles that Hiddy will concoct us for this newcomer in the stable. Note that Usugrow will exhibit at UPPER PLAYGROUND / FIFTY 24SF GALLERY All the month of August in San Francisco if you ever in a trip Westcoast this summer.
