We believe that the best artistic experiences are participatory and affordable, and that – with an open heart – friendship can happen between you and just about anything.

Spicy Brown™ started cookin in 2003. We started from scratch with talented designers, mixed in some appetizing artists, folded in friends and family, and let em simmer. What’d we get? The best company you’ll ever taste, that’s what!
I Heart Guts is the brainchild of an anatomically obsessed illustrator who loves internal organs and all they do. Founded in 2005, our little family operation (heh, heh, heh..ugh) strives to offer the best in stoopid slogans paired with happy gloppy guts. We like to think of the Guts as what you might find inside a dissected Hello Kitty.
Created in 2006 as a manufacturing resource for artists and small companies, SOLID Industries, Inc. is a one stop shop for getting high quality limited edition products manufactured and delivered.

Punch Brand started producing anime inspired fleece hats known as “crazyheads” in early 2005. The hats were mainly sold at anime conventions and were designed for cosplayers and the otakus looking for accessories to complete their outfits. At that time, the line consisted of only 5 hats – black cat, white bunny, black bunny, panda and brown bear which still are our top selling styles today.
Sweet Meats are the brainchild of Lauren Venell (nee Fleischer), a San Francisco product designer with butchers on both sides of her family. She originally constructed the first “Hambone” as a personal art project, but commissions for the plush hams became so popular she decided to bring Sweet Meats to the masses.
PatchTogether is a community that tries to promote a collaborative spirit among its members to inspire and motivate. We are true believers in the wisdom of crowds, and the power of us is greater than the power of one. We want to keep everyone involved with the whole toy making progress by encouraging participation in every step of the production. As toy fanatics at heart, we have seen so many cool concept arts over the years that have sadly never been made into actual toys because of financial restraints and difficulties in locating a reputable factory.
Strangekiss has been in development in one form or another for as long we can remember. This project has evolved into an online art / toy gallery for collectors and enthusiasts such as ourselves. The main mission of Strangekiss is to bring “Art back into Art”. We strive for diversity and want to push limits of the Status Quo as a forever-growing and changing entity. Strangekiss should first and foremost be considered an online gallery more than a store, as that is the vibe we want to impart upon our visitors and growing list of private collectors.
Badge Bomb is excited that buttons are blowing up. Everywhere we go, at shows, on the bus, even walking down the block, buttons cover bags, jackets, and virtually anything able to handle the prick of a pin. And the best part is, this new era in button design thinks beyond political slogans and band names – buttons are a new breed of canvas, providing artists and designers with a fresh medium, one that their fans can wear.
JELLYFACE is a project between Joe, a graphic designer, and Fau, a creative dressmaker. The artistic duo based in Italy is making new characters and enjoying art-toys world since 2008. Their work is probably best described as a combination of surreal images, pop-culture and love for nature and disparate materials. Art-Toys are amazing and charming, they are what we are and, like a mirror, they reflect our society. Now Joe and Fau are working on the world of JELLYFACE creating and sewing a new plush family, 100% handcrafted. Pop in and be part of the family!

In 2000, we started to carry a new line of toys that changed our lives and the way we view toys… Michael Lau figure and Designer Toys. The demand wasn’t high, but we didn’t mind… we loved it! It was a great way for us to start our collection and stay connected with the emerging Asian toy market.
