Born in the 70s and raised in the 80s, Saturday morning cartoons and sugary cereal helped me create little clashes of nostalgia. Music, sci-fi and pop culture all bundled together to form hand- crafted resin figures. Call them art, call them toys, either way, my mum says they’re really good.
The story of Delicious Again Peter began in 1977, not because that is the year I was born, but because it was the year that Star Wars was released...
I've never truly grown up and I refuse to let go of the beautiful memories I have of playing with and collecting toys. My formative years consisted of playing fantasy war games, reading comics and listening to Hip Hop. While these passions of mine aren't necessarily connected, they're never too far from the core of my art.

I am an artist who works both on both designer vinyl toys and traditional canvas.
The inspiration for my work comes from a huge number of sources. Some are social comments on the human condition and how we as people interact, treat each other, as well as the habits we all follow.
I also take a lot of inspiration from the many forms of pop culture both past and present, such as music, film and graphic novels.
Living in London means I have learnt to become a sponge at times. As there are so many different cultural aspects, it can be such an inspiring place to work and live as an artist.
My style of work usually incorporates crisp, bold colours with intricate line work. I'm becoming most known for my jungle and flower themed customs as i take a lot inspiration from nature and the weird and wonderful creatures that still inhabit the ever shrinking jungles and forests of our world. with this in mind i am also trying to evolve these themes.
I am 1993 born, raised in North West London. I am a qualified Pharmacist, Science Teacher & Learning & Development Professional.
I have always loved art as well as sharing knowledge and information. I re-picked up art around my second year of University (aged 19) and started teaching myself using the internet!
Since then I started Jayk.Art, which became BlueJay, Jayk.B.Art and a whole host of other names! Finally becoming Jaykblu. As Jaykblu i found a home in designer toys! Doing many of my first shows and conventions including DCON, 5 Points, ToyCon and more!
Now after going through a lot during COVID and more. I have now rebranded to Jaykishh. I’d like the brand to be even more personal to me, moving away from customs I want to focus even more on my character creation as It is what I enjoy the most! Mostly centred around my two favourite characters: Ruffelz & Flamey!

I am an illustrator and maker of handmade resin art toys, from Cyprus but based in the UAE. I have been a toy collector for many years and began producing my own toys in 2019 as I wanted to bring my characters to life. In 2022, the Horned Ones were born and since then they have been made into toys, street art, painting, illustrations and even a small comic. Currently I am working on expanding the Horned One universe, producing new characters every few months.

It started when I was four years old and I had a decision to make; do I want to be Indiana Jones, or do I want to invent my own heroes?
This thought still drives my work and creative thinking, specialising in character design and painting sculptures and vinyl toys. This work references pop culture, history and art in a figurative form. As well as gaining a cult following with my painted reinterpretations of other designers established figures I have also worked with industry leaders like Kidrobot, Android/DeadZebra, Pobber Toys and Peugeot to develop and produce my own characters and intellectual property.
My themes vary from fine art to pop culture and on to historical culture; exploring craft, history and nature to develop new characters and artistic avenues to explore.
In 2017 I won the Artist of the Year award at the prestigious Designer Toy Awards, this was followed up in 2018 with an award for Custom of the Year as well as Mini Series of the Year for my work on the Arcane Divination Dunny Series with J*RYU and Kidrobot.

My name is Jacobo Prieto, and I am a visual artist, industrial designer, and educator based in Madrid, Spain. It was during my final dissertation for the MA Industrial Design course at Central Saint Martins, UAL, that I discovered the world of designer toys—a moment that transformed a childhood fascination into a lifelong passion, shaping both my personal and professional journey.
For the past year, I have been a PhD researcher at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, focusing specifically on art toys. This niche, which embraces the idea that a toy matters as more than just a plaything, has become the cornerstone of my creative and academic work. My journey into designer toys began in 2020 while working in the design department of UNGA, a toy company based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
This passion led me to establish my own toy brand, A Toy Matter.
My creations draw on a wide range of influences, blending satire, visual ambiguity, pop culture, comic art, animation, and science fiction into unique pieces that challenge conventional perceptions of toys. Each design is a deeply personal expression of my artistic vision, thoughtfully crafted through sketching, conceptual design, modelling, handcrafting, painting, and packaging. I manage every step of the process, underscoring the creativity and dedication that define this "toy matter."
After exhibiting my work at the Art Toy Con in Valencia last July, I am determined to take the next step. I aspire to present my creations at the upcoming Toy Con in London—a city that played a pivotal role in my journey, where I first discovered designer toys and created my initial designs.
For me, these toys are more than mere objects; they are a form of storytelling, a way to connect with others, and a tangible representation of the worlds I imagine.

AK49’
AK49’ is a young brand focused on designing toys with offbeat universes.
For the 10th edition of UK Toycon, we present 3 sets.
Emerging as Art Toys, "Ogul and Nycya" were then developed as comic book characters and even an animated series. The story : in 1950s Americana, 2 kids and a dog try to survive and defend their way of life. The Crappy Halloween set shows our characters in shredded cat and frog costumes.
"The Last Gunfight" characters come from a goofy short film with cowboys that are… dinosaurs! You'll discover main character Marshal T-West as a quiet yet powerful triceratops.
At last, a brand new series called "Cult" with characters coming from the margins of commercial cinema. First set stages film director Ed Wood (called "worst director of all time") and his actors from the movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space". The set is a homage to this strange and sincere artist.
We are proud to celebrate the Toycon UK anniversary with a lot of exclusive toys and goodies!
