“I Am Legion”

The first official 3A Custom Toy art show, curated by James Brown, will take place in San Francisco’s 1:AM SF gallery. The 3A Custom show will give visitors an opportunity to experience the talent within the 3A Legion community and witness how a unique independent toy company, always looking forward, can inspire individual artists worldwide.

This art show will feature a mix of artists and collectors from all around the world uniting to share ideas and a common love for toys and art. The exhibit will be open for a full month and we invite everyone from around the globe to join us and delve into our world for a while!
The primary goal of the show is to introduce 3A Toys to the art world in a way that has not yet been attempted and create a show that challenges people to look at toys in a different light. In the ThreeA “Legion” community, we do our best to promote the camaraderie of like-minded individuals and the ethic of seeking that which brings personal joy and spreads that joy to others through whatever creative endeavors one may pursue; and we hope to share that with the gallery visitors and give them a taste of what we have created together on the online community at ThreeA Forums — Ultimately, an event where artisans and art connoisseurs can meet new people and new artists, chat about art and toys, network, and make new friends. In selecting the artists, curator James Brown chose to invite both commercially unknown artists who are fans of 3A as well as more renowned artists new to 3A (and those bridging the gap !) in order to combine both converse dynamics; creating a multifaceted Art Show with a variety of interpretations that offer contrasting perspectives and aesthetics as applied to the customized toys.

gyah!! I knew I forgot something today

Bummed I couldn't make the opening (Dcon was fun). Got to see the show subsequently and really enjoyed myself. Don't have a good personal reference point for a lot of the articulated 12" stuff, but found it impressive none-the-less. A bunch of us were giving one of the giant robot heads as a starting point. I went Baron.

missed you at the show Lee. Your Red Baron Helmet was a hit.. It's huge...! I wish it was RC like the tank and then we could have flown it around the gallery.

great job

My pics of the show for those who haven't seen them:

Hahaha. Brilliant. Thanks Kirkland!
Unfortunately that thing's heavier than a tank.
Way too long since we got to hang out. Hopefully everyone will come out for the Mummyboy Show!?!

Nice photos Hypnotiq!
