Martin Hsu on Toysrevil:
One of 13 Creators to Look Out for in 2013?!
Extremely honored and flattered to be nominated by Toysrevil as one of 13 creators/artists to look out for in 2013.
Read complete interview here where I talk about significant moments from 2012, Dragon Boy, and donuts!
Kind words from Andy at Toysrevil:
"... Martin has been in the art and design biz for a few years now producing his own apparels and art book, but has been more prominent in the "art toy culture" in recent years, especially with his release of Dragon Boy... "
"... a powerhouse in self-promotion, where other artists tend to dwell within their own studio space, and that is extremely commendable as well. In an era of artists flooding the market, steps must be made to have yourself "heard", and Martin does it with aplomb and good grace... "
Thank you, Andy!
