Kathie Olivas's custom YHWH for Toy Art Gallery show!

Kathie Olivas's custom version of Mark Ryden's YHWH statue sees the simply, iconic statue given a rather dapper and well-adorned spin. Olivas has coated the exterior in a coat of antiqued acrylic gems, letting only the original eyes and bunny ears shine through from the original. But, let's face it, it is her addition of that slightly tipped bowler hat that truly gives unique personality to this piece for the previously announced and upcoming group show at Toy Art Gallery.

Mark Ryden's YHWH custom group show opens on Saturday, May 11th with a reception from 7-10PM local time and will be on display until May 26th, 2013 at Toy Art Gallery, 7571 Melrose Ave., Hollywood, CA 90046.
