"Stranger Factory is proud to present a special mid-month event in March: A one weekend exhibition with legendary West-Coast (San Diego) toy designer and artist, Paul Kaiju, with an opening reception on Saturday, March 19th (from 6-9 PM, with the artist in attendance.)" - circus posterus.
Paul Kaiju is inspired by the Giant Monsters movies/Toys out of Japan in the 1960's. He works out of Japan with a small group of artists who not only design, sculpt, but also engineer and self produce their own line of toys. They produce these toys using “sofubi” (soft vinyl) traditional manufacturing process which is very sparse these days.
The artist will have a limited amount (a few dozen) of his hand-painted custom figures at the opening reception. It is a very limited engagement and will only run from March 19th-21st. Any available figures after the weekend, will be put up for online sale on Monday, March 21st. In person sales on Saturday will require a raffle ticket that will be distributed on a first come first serve basis, starting at noon Friday, March 18th through 5:30 PM on the 19th (right before reception). - circus posterus.
