*ON SITE* Toy Art Gallery presents: Blamo Toys "5th Anniversary Custom Show"... BILLY!!!

This past weekend, the folks over at Blamo Toys tooke full control over the majority of custom artists in the designer toy scene for their EPIC anniversary show, and just like the past years, Toy Art Gallery hosted this awesome event! People started to trickle into the gallery on Saturday, December 14th 2013, for the Blamo Toys "5th Anniversary Custom Show"... and an hour in, the showroom was packed with on lookers! Featuring customs from artist based around the globe... most of which have been asked to tackle Blamo's own 8" wooden "Billy" figure... there were some massive Billy's on hand as well, standing a good 3' tall!!! The entire Blamo crew were on hand as well, dressed up in their onesies... greeting everyone with smiles... in fact, everyone was smiling... there were a TON of red dots (indicating sold pieces) throughout the gallery!

The show was just as expected... amazing, and it was so humbling to see what all the artists came up with on this very obscure, already defined wooden figure!
