Stranger Factory Gallery Mid Month Special Event: Paul Kaiju

Stranger Factory is hosting a very special event in March, a one weekend  exhibition with legendary West-Coast (San Diego) toy designer and artist, Paul Kaiju.

Highly inspired by vintage Japanese toys/television, big screen Kaiju monsters,  1960s Sci-Fi, and old horror shows, Paul “Kaiju” is member to an extremely talented small group of industry leading toy artists that not only design, but sculpt, engineer, and self-produce their toys in Japan through a very rare “sofubi” (soft vinyl) traditional manufacturing process. Always the constant muse for the independent art toy industry, Kaiju pioneered techniques, customization, toy design processes (from color/form to function) and has been a major influence to most toy artists and has pushed the boundaries of toy beyond commercial application into new contemporary sculpture.”  – From the official press release.

There will be an opening reception on Saturday, March 19th from 6-9 PM with Paul Kaiju himself in attendance.

The artist will have a limited amount of his hand-painted custom figures at the opening reception.
