Toy Karma 2 @ Rotofugi Gallery

It's been two years since the first Toy Karma exhibit believe it or not! Our original ground-breaking exhibit featured a whole bunch of artists and exclusives and helped introduce Japanese toys and kaiju to the midwest and a greater audience of designer toy collectors. We had so much fun doing Toy Karma that we've asked our friend Mark Nagata (Max Toy Company) to reprise his role as curator and bring you Toy Karma 2!


Mark has put together an amazinng line-up of over 70 artists from Japan, the United States and even Germany, Mexico, Spain and Venezuela to share art inspired by their love of Japanese toys. Opening night is Saturday, September 5, 7-10PM with music by dep. In addition to the exhibit we'll have several exclusive toy releases by Charactics, Real Head, Rumble Monsters, Yamo-mark, Sunguts, Clap Monsters, Zollmen, The Lake Monsters, Skull Toys and maybe even more!


PLEASE NOTE: Just like our normal exhibits, artworks from the TK2 exhibit will be available to purchase first via our Gallery Previews List, but the exclusive toy releases will not. Line Tickets to purchase the exclusives will be available at Rotofugi Toy Store beginning at 12noon on Saturday, Sept. 5. Thanks!

Secret Handshakes - New Works by Brian Morris and Mitch O'Connell

This show features two of our favorite artists from our home town, Brian Morris and Mitch O' Connell. Both Mitch and Brian draw heavily from tattoo-inspired graphics, though their styles differ greatly. Mitch tends a little more toward the light and kitschy whereas Brian tends to explore darker themes. Regardless, this should be another great show in our gallery!

Opening night was Friday, May 22 from 7pm until 10pm with music by DJ Yunicorn. Exhibit continues through June 7.
