Stick to vinyl

I bought this little guy back from Amsterdam as a present for my girlfriend.


I found him in Outland Records on Zeedijk, a record and vinyl character shop with a small gallery of sticker and street art downstairs in the basement. He comes from the set of Wookie/Crazy Label toys made for Chinese artist Bubi Au Yeung’s children's book “Treeson & Other Stories” (我愛樹仔)



Some of the work on display was from artists who have spoken in Dublin at Candy's SweetTalk shows over the last couple of years. Jon Burgerman had some pieces on show in the Outland gallery; his SweetTalk presentation a year or two ago was one stood out for me from all of those I've gone along to.

Some of the other artists on show:
Nagi Noda
Rolito
Superdeux
Tado
