Much of MadGods inspiration is derived from the remnants of past culture. These veins of originality are no longer with us in the form of authentic style and rebellion that existed in the formative years of youth culture, music, skateboarding and the independent artist. Most only recognize the patterns left in the wake of original influence.

MadGods has always taken a fondness to the interpretation of our own subcultures by foreign voyeurs, more specifically, the methodical breakdown of western music and skateboarding imagery and styles by Japanese Otaku cool hunters at the turn of the millennium. Using this fondness as a filter of sorts, we touch on realms of thought that we once believed were slowly becoming extinct with a new generation of youth that don’t remember a world before the internet. Using a familiar aesthetic, we perfect the art of dressing sheep in wolf’s clothing.

BOOM!!!

So over at most likely the best toy nerd blog ever ToysRevil- is an interview with local cultural resource FERG. This half of the big timer toy creators JAMUNGO talks about his new project ‘Squadts’. Click on the toysrevil link to check out the story of Squadts. If you don’t know much about ‘designer toys’ just click on that link and explore. If you cross reference the names mentioned in the article and study them you will be up on mad upper echelon toy knowledge.
If you already know what’s up, you will want to know as much as possible about these gems. FERG’s minimalist approach can be deceptive. The details, man. The detail is insane for such seemingly simple objects. If you have been following the string of hits this designer has produced recently you can only imagine how sick these are in physical form. I’ve seen these evolve for awhile now and I’ve seen what a passion project this has been for FERG.

So congrats to Fergbag, who is not only an incredible designer etc…etc…etc… but whose proximity to me will guarantee my eternal servitude to the culture of pop sculpture. He makes sure I will always have the coolest dust magnets of around. .

Checkout the ‘SMILEFUCKER‘ design we produced with FERG in our webstore. And keep checking for future MadGods/FERGbag collabos.
