Designer Toy Awards Nominations 2012

Ok, i guess i should make a proper post about my nominations as finalist for the 2012 Designer Toys Awards!


Its pretty exciting not only because i have 4 nominations this year, (more than anyone this or the past year) also more nominations than anyone on the short life of the DTA awards (second year), what really is pretty dope is that i was voted as a finalist by the DTA board, formed by a few dozens of the best artists and experts on  the toy thing and whats even better is against im competing now, all awesome artists and some of them great friends... good luck to all and hopefully wins the best.
The ceremony/party for the awards will be in october during NYCC.


By the way 2 of the categories im nominated for are for public voting, so if you like to support me or support any of the other guys and girls go here:
Artist of the Year
Fan Favorite (this nomination is for my quickly sold out Dunny for Kidrobot, Birro the clown)
And two more categories that will be voted by the DTA board so wish me luck!

What is also pretty cool, is that if i not win anything this year i will be the BIGGEST loser ever on the Designer toy Awards! that is kinda cool! LOL
