\"tokidoki-cactusfriends\"<\/p>\n

One of my favorite new character designs is cactus girl from tokidoki<\/a>, a series of art, t-shirts and accessories by Italian artist Simone Legno.\u00a0 I\u2019m pleased to see he\u2019s launching cool new vinyl toys next month – cactus friends (shown above).\u00a0 Tokidoki means \u201csometimes\u201d in Japanese and cactus girl certainly exemplifies that attitude – cute and<\/em> prickly.\u00a0 I\u2019ve recently started collecting \u201cdesigner toys\u201d inspired by the creative art book, Vinyl Will Kill!<\/a>, but more on that in another post..<\/p>\n

Update:\u00a0 thanks to Jenny who sent me these links to more of Simone\u2019s work.\u00a0 He designed two rooms for this competition<\/a> and did a cover for a journal project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also happy to report I\u2019ve now added Cactus Girl and Bastardino to my collection – bought them here in SF at the KidRobot<\/a> store.\u00a0 I\u2019ll post some photos when I get a chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
