“new book” Urban Toy
Called “Urban Vinyl Toys” or “Designer Toys”, these are highly collectable design concepts created by artists all over the world. 
The Urban Toy scene was born in 1997 when designer Michael Lau showed up at a Hong Kong toy show with a handful of GI-Joes he’d customized into hip-hop street fashion figures. Things exploded from there, and artists from Hong Kong and Japan began making their own limited toys.

Caesar Lima is a LA based photographer and his fresh imagery keeps us guessing as to what innovations he will create next. The merging of photography and computers is what gives Caesar's work an edge. Although the line that is drawn between these two mediums is unclear, obscured in his work, he likes it that way.
