Jailbreak Toys is having a gallery show at Toy Tokyo! On October 17th, ART + ACTION = OBAMA 08 will present custom Obama Action Figures by contemporary artist greats, such as Mars-1, David Choong Lee, and Damion Silver, toy designers like Brent Nolasco, Voltaire, and olive47, as well as graf writers and design mavens from all over the country. These artists will use unpainted Obama Action Figures to project their vision of America. The toy master himself, Brin Berliner, will be doing a special recast of Obama. All proceeds of these custom one-of-a-kind Obama Action Figures will benefit the Obama For America campaign.
Art superstar Ron English will also be signing posters of his famous Abraham Obama image. Obama posters from legendary street artist Shepherd Fairey will be given away on the hour; a handful of signed copies will be available for sale.
Brooklyn-based funk archivalists, Truth And Soul, will be throwing down some rare grooves. Singha Beer is hooking up the brews.
