A Toy Story

I completed this in collaboration with a classmate as a short (2-3 minute) turn-around project.

SUMMARY:

The growing popularity of Asian-influenced designer toys in the United States has led to the fame of several individuals, including Westport, Mass. artist Matt Albanese, who works under the name MCA. Albanese has one original toy sculpture on the market known as the Evil Ape, which is derived from his design company Evil Design.

The toys are conceived and drawn by him, sent to a company in China where they are manufactured, and distributed across the world. As a freelance artist, Albanese sells custom-painted sculptures of the Evil Ape in addition to displaying his characters in galleries.
