The Scrawl Collectives Mr Jargo

Mr Jago
Mr Jago, (plain Mr to his freinds) is one of the Scrawl Collective founder members and as such is central to the way the agency developed in it's infancy. Not a graffiti artist as such he took the influence of graffiti and ran with it in a completely different direction to everyone else at the time.

Growing up in a small village offered little opportunity for bombing the streets and this led him to draw furiously in countless sketchbooks never knowing at the time where all this activity might lead him. After meeting Will and Steff while studying graphic design in Bristol his path seemed clear and he was soon working regularly for Bristol's ever burgeoning recording and club promoting entrepreneurs. He can truly be described along with Will Barras and Steff as a pioneer of the doodle school that seems to be everywhere these days and is now like graffiti before it an accepted part of our wider visual language. He is as a result, and deservedly so, world famous among his contemporaries in the urban art world and he has earned the right to be talked about in the same breath as some of his own heroes. Most recently he has collaborated on a toy with Addict Clothing and as well as being a regular in their artists t-shirt series he has designed the camo pattern for their latest fabric.

My Designer Toys (the ones i own that is)

Build a Figure

Marvel have a few characters that are giants, like Galactus, Giant man and the robot Sentinels, before they had never been produced at the correct scale as toys because of the size and cost. but the Marvel legends series introduced the idea of dividing a larger character across the range of toys so each normal figure comes with a limb or the head, torso etc of the larger character. not only did this let marvel release fan favorites like the Sentinels, but it also acts as a great incentive to by the full range of figures when perhaps before you would only get one or two. This type of feature has not been used by the designer toy companies yet and may work really well with my retro pulp theme.

Designer toys come in a variety of sizes, and it's only the minis that come blind boxed, the larger toys are normally open boxed and as such have a viewing panel, this Kid Robot produced Frank Kozik monger is a good example, with a viewing panel which extends around to the shorter side, the toy is part of a range of four, the format of the box is the same for each, with the details and text changing for each.
