The staff at Spinning Hat have put together this list of Vinyl Artists You Should Know. Brush up on these names to know, before you wind up accidentally trading away your chase Travis Cain Dunny.
Brandt Peters
Pop art-inspired work by Peters has been seen on Munnys, Mad Ls and Qees, in addition to his own beautifully grotesque pieces. Peters’s work is like a sideshow attraction, eerie to see, but strangely alluring.
Brian Donnelly aka KAWS
Brian Donnelly built his reputation as KAWS, a prolific social graffiti artist in New York City in the 1980s. Donnelly began working in vinyl in the late 1990s, making him one of the earliest American toy designers, breaking paradigms and staying ahead of the curve.
David Weeks
World renowned lighting and furniture designer David Weeks branched out into toy design as a break from his day job. With an extremely popular wooden Chiseler Dunny, Weeks can now claim collaborations with Kate Spade, W Hotels, and Kidrobot.
Ferg
The enigmatic American designer Ferg, is responsible for a handful of incredible designs, from Jamungo’s Squadt figures, to his PLAYGE’s Misfortune Cat. Never rushed, Ferg’s designers are well-thought-out and highly popular among collectors.
Matt Jones aka Lunartik
One of the United Kingdom’s new generation of toy designers, our good friend Lunartik built his reputation through his top quality customs. In 2009, he independently released Lunartik in A Cup Of Tea, a quintessentially British toy that successfully combines design with the DIY work ethic.
