Patrick Wong's Mr. Magic Mascot
Wake up.....I see a production Mascot!Mr. Magic is the third and final installment of my Spirit of '84 Kidrobot mascot series that began as an illustration. I find something interesting about the '80s and '90s with this original illustration taking up some of the aesthetics of the time period combined with the contemporary movement(s) in designer toys. The first one I made to help support my Threadless campaign, then the second for "Bits and Pieces" at Lift Designer Toys, and the last for a private collector.
What drew me to the Kidrobot Mascot as a platform was that few artists were taking up this figure for the custom pieces. Like the 6" Fatcap which few artists are working with - I have one planned for Jeff Beck's January show.

Patrick Wong's Darkest Mascot and Munny Come to Lift Designers Toys for "Bits and Pieces" Art Show
A bit late....but better late, than never posted!ROYAL OAK, MI - September 23, 2013 - Illustrator Patrick Wong announces "Darkest" as his contribution to "Bits and Pieces" custom designer toy and art show opening this Saturday Sept. 28, 2013 at Lift Designer Toys and Gallery. The character from Wong is derived from his "Spirit of '84" illustration which depicts two groups of b-boys as they square off in the subway - poised for battle.
"In the early 1980s, breakdancing spread globally due to their part in feature films like Flashdance, Beatstreet, and Wildstyle. The "Spirit of '84" represents this cultural moment in New York city, when gang dominated youth culture shifted from fighting to competitive dancing as a means of positive expression. My illustration takes up the Kidrobot Mascot and mashes it together with a scene from the b-boy world - a showdown between two crews in the subway, a battle," described Wong.
"Darkest", short for B-boy Darkest, is the second character to emerge from this "Spirit of '84" world, dressed in classic 80's b-boy fashion: Cazal glasses, Adidas tracksuit, and shelltoe sneakers.
The character comes in two sizes (7" and 3") utilizing Kidrobot's iconic mascot as well as a micro munny with sculptural additions. The 7" "Darkest" Mascot comes complete with a custom painted wooden box and signed edition art card. The 3" "Darkest" munny is packaged with a custom designed box and signed edition art card as well. Both figures are one-of-a-kind, closed edition, and the artist will not be producing more on the same platform.
