Just arrived from Dudebox is this 7.5-inch Punchy the Clown figure designed by Attaboy!
Attaboy is an internationally acclaimed artist, creator and toy designer whose work is seen in galleries, museums, boutiques, magazines, books and so many more places and spaces. In 1996, Attaboy started his career designing and inventing toys for Milton Bradley and Hasbro. In 2002, Atta released the Axtrx, one of the first western vinyl toys to be distributed en mass. Axtrx, with its interchangeable mouths, has often been referred to as the "gateway toy" for many burgeoning collectors.
Scores of Attaboy vinyl, plush and specially made resin sculptures soon followed, along with art licensing deals with many of the top creator loving companies. In 2005, Attaboy co-founded the acclaimed and best selling new contemporary art magazine Hi-Fructose with his wife, the artist, Annie Owens. Since its premier, it has gained an enthusiastic worldwide distribution, launched the careers of many artists, and spawned a best-selling series of Collected Editions. Attaboy lives in the East Bay of San Francisco with his wife, a pug named Donut, and a pesky bunny named GiGi. With so much under his belt we had to spend some time with him to see what makes him tick!
