“11/10″ Recap
And the dust has settled…

First, let me give a huge thank you to everyone that attended the “11/10″ show, everyone that flew in from out of country, fought online to purchase something, drove hours, or came out and just stood in line. Even though we had a few hiccups, the show was a success. I do believe we sold out of everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support and adoration of my friends, fans, colleagues and collectors. Truly, Thank you. Now onto the press!

The wonderfully talented Beast Brothers edited this wonderful video of the event.:

And finally, the official press release:

“Through the years artist Huck Gee has created original and awe inspiring 3D figures which sell out almost immediately through his website. He creates these unique and lovable characters in sets of 10, each individually numbered. But what nobody knew is that for each set of 10 figures he made, he also made one more and numbered it “11/10″. For the first time ever, every 11/10 piece was displayed and available for sale, almost 50 pieces in total. Fans had just one last chance to see them in person and get their hands on figures that sold out years ago.

11/10 was not only feature retrospective and new works, it was also the debut release of Huck’s first full length art book “The Art of Huck Gee”. Published by Presto Publishing and not scheduled to hit shelves till January 1st, 2012; just 200 collectors cover copies were available at the event.

And as if that wasn’t enough, 11/10 was also the official release of the extremely limited “Kabuki and Kitsune” Dunny 2-Pack by toy creator heavyweights Kidrobot. Inspired by Huck Gee’s Gold Life Dunny Series which sold out in record time, these two 3-inch Dunnys were limited to only 200 pieces and were exclusively available at the event.

11/10 saw large crowds of fans over it’s 3-day affair at Toy Art Gallery. Thursday, November 10th at 7pm marked the official opening which ended Sunday, November 13th with a completely sold out show.

Huck Gee would like to thank all of his fans that came out to see this special once-in-a-lifetime event.”

Thanks again!

“11/10″ The Artwork of Huck Gee

Artist Retrospective Hits Los Angeles for a 3-Day Only Event

Toy Art Gallery, one of the first dedicated art galleries of it’s kind, today announced that it will feature the work of toy customizer extraordinaire Huck Gee titled “11/10″ in Los Angeles for a 3-day only event starting November 10.

Through the years Huck has created original and awe inspiring 3D figures which sell out almost immediately through his website. He creates these unique and lovable characters in sets of 10, each individually numbered. But what nobody knew is that for each set of 10 figures he made, he also made one more and numbered it “11/10″. For the first time ever, every 11/10 piece will be on display and be available for sale, almost 50 pieces in total. Fans will now have just one last chance to see in person and get their hands on figures that sold out years ago.

“A couple of years ago I found myself wondering how I could create enough art pieces for a truly stupendous gallery show, yet without me having to take 9 months off to focus solely on producing pieces for a gallery. There was no way I could afford to set that much time aside but pull off the show I was imagining. Then I looked in my display case and saw the 11^th figure I had begun squirreling away for my own collection,” said Huck Gee.

11/10 will not only feature retrospective and new works, it will also be the debut release of Huck’s first full length art book “The Art of Huck Gee”. Published by Presto Publishing and not scheduled to hit shelves till January 1st, 2012; just 200 collectors cover copies will be available at the event.

And as if that wasn’t enough, 11/10 will also be the official release of the extremely limited “Kabuki and Kitsune” Dunny 2-Pack by toy creator heavyweights Kidrobot. Inspired by Huck Gee’s Gold Life Dunny Series which sold out in record time, these two 3-inch Dunnys will be limited to only 200 pieces and will be exclusively available at the event.

11/10 will see large crowds of fans over it’s 3-day affair at Toy Art Gallery. Thursday, November 10th at 7pm will mark the official opening with a special signing with Huck Gee taking place the following evening at 5pm. The show will be open throughout the weekend closing it’s doors forever on Sunday, November 13th.

About Huck Gee:
A UK native, Huck Gee is a contemporary artist, illustrator, toy maker, and designer best known by toy enthusiasts for his iconic “Skullhead” character and “Gold Life” art creations. Heavily influenced by Japanese and Hong Kong pop art, Gee calls his style “Bastardized Asian Pop Culture”.
The demand for Huck’s Custom Toy Art and illustrations has grown quite immense, with small runs of hand crafted Art Toys and original prints selling out in seconds online and shipping to art collectors worldwide. Huck’s works have been exhibited in galleries worldwide and in 2007 his “Hello My Name Is” 8” Dunny was accepted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. In addition, Huck has also consigned several pieces for one of the world’s leading fine art auction houses: Christie’s Auction House.
He’s released numerous limited production toys through Kidrobot including some of the most exclusive and sought after Dunnys to date, figures for The Standard, DJ Qbert, and a series of figures for Barney’s New York which came dressed in the 2005 spring collections of five of the world’s most famous fashion designers: Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten, Jil Sander, Rick Owens, and Duckie Brown. His extraordinary skills with customizing vinyl toys earned him the title of Best Customizer in the 2009 Kidrobot Artist Awards.
Most recently Huck collaborated with Ken Block and DC Shoes for Ken’s Monster World Rally Team WRC logo entitled “Blockhead”. Coinciding with this project were several limited edition shoe and clothing runs.
Huck currently maintains a studio in San Francisco and when not busy planning world domination, he spends his free time playing with his daughter and pretending to be a racecar driver. Not necessarily at the same time.

Ornery Panda Shinsengumi

Cute, ornery badassedry.

At one time renowned as a talented sword master he was an early member of the elite, albeit troubled, peace keeping squad, Shinsengumi.

Losing himself in drink, he became most well known as a gambler, a womanizer, and a drunk. Short on words, the golden sheen of his eyes found blurred by sake more often than not, this is Abiru: Ornery Panda Shinsengumi.

This figure is signed, numbered and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. 10 figures in this set, $750 per figure. Limit one figure per customer.

First, we have Whiskers!
What an amazing beard!

As legend would have it, behind every great general is a bat shit crazy, bearded, old wizard. And General Shirokuri was no exception to the rule. At times Shirokuri’s most trusted consort resembled a befuddled old fool, at others a wise and electrified terror, bending the forces of nature to his will. However you want to remember him, he had but one name: Mahotsukai Hoohige. Okay, we lied, he had two names: Whiskers the Wizard.

This figure is signed, numbered and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. 10 figures in this set, $750 per figure. Limit one figure per customer.

This set will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. All interested, please email sales@huckgee.com ASAP to reserve your figure and make payment arrangements. We expect these to sell out fast. Apologies in advance if you don’t make the cut.

And there was much rejoicing!

We’re selling the APs in sets only, 4 figures: Grandpa McGrizzled and all 3 color variations of Brains. 25 sets total. Each is signed and numbered. $400 for the set.
