TeXt Marks The Spot

Not every idea I have is successful (shocking, I know), but I really did think this one had legs. The motivation? My thinking that collectors can often be as enigmatic and interesting as the artists with whom they’re obsessed. The premise? To find “superfans” of artists in the designer vinyl scene, ask them ten questions about their obsessive collecting, publish amazing photos and reward them with a gift certificate to Kid Robot. The problem? Turns out people don’t care as much about the collectors as I do. Maybe this will come back as a viable series someday. Never know. But for now, check out a truly beautiful collection of Joe Ledbetter art and an interview with his superfan, Jeff Tucker, here at ToyCyte.
