Turn back the time to NYCC 2015 weekend, Korena AKA Superfifikiki and her right hand man Luke AKA Madcowhunter went to visit Peter Kato at his studio in NYC. Our chance to have a snoop around Peters work area and see all his creations in the raw process.
Lovin the Japanese Tatami and ALL THOSE TOYS! ahhh those super cute Peter Kato’s Sleeptime Sea Bunnies can you spot any unreleased art from Peter?
Luke debating whens the right time to take a few toys. Little did Luke know the security is higher then the Pentagon.
Toy heaven right HERE. for us the top shelf usually means porn magazines but Peters is TOY PORN! Can we see these coming out in the near future?
About Peter Kato
My name is Peter Kato & I have been a fan & have worked in this toy industry from almost every point ( collecting, retail sales experience, designing …) all except making. My background is based in comic book /manga illustration dating back in the late 90?s(Team Smile Inc / Apollo Smile Live Action Anime Girl) , to many years working in sales/managing in specialty toy store retail(Toy Tokyo), to currently working in an art studio that focuses on decoupage (John Derian Co.)
Currently I am a member of the Cortes Studio in Brooklyn, New York. Under the guidance of master sculptor Dave Cortes I have learned all the points of traditional hand sculpting, mold-making, resin castings and presently starting the lessons in digital sculpting. Now I spend all my free time doing what I love most. Making toys.
Peter released his vinyl version of his “Bedtime Bunnie” with Clutter and sadly sold-out quick time. Not to worry new colourways will be arriving soon. Stay tuned 🙂
