Why all the Jled hate lately? Not original? Uhh, how many 10" stackable wood pieces do you own??? I mean, un-original would be making a mold, then selling it in 14 different colors/patterns like, like uhhh, Erik Scarecrow, or Andrew Bell. At least when Joe makes something, he does maybe a handful of color ways, all fairly classic and expected, and moves on. His style is what comes through like a GOOD artist, not a copy machine! With mutant bunny, we see him paying tribute to his own classic first piece, coming up with all sorts of unique ways to present it. I have much respect for Joe's art and admire him for keeping his art current and fresh, and not just churning the molds! Go hate elsewhere!

I love this piece. His best work in a long time.

well opinion or not, At least 20 artists comes to my mind when I think at "boring toys with the same goddamn design again and again"
Jled is not on the list: there's a whole canyon wide difference between having a well established and recognizable style and having one idea and making endless copy of it over the years, and these are facts not opinion, period. -

One artist comes to mind when I think "boring toys with the same design again and again," and that's Joe Ledbetter. And that's an opinion, not a fact, comma.

I don't think this toy is boring, as such. I do find Ledbetter's style quite boring at this point

So just to note, my Burger Bunny arrived this weekend. The size and idea are pretty cool. However, the production leaves much to be desired. It's wood, and in several places the grain and wood dents show through where the paint is too thin. Mine has a fair amount of what look like dirty scuff marks too, where it was handled during production maybe. I think it's just cheaper wood really. However for $400 one would think the wood would be high end and the paint would be finished with some poly, yet this isn't the case.

Oh well I get all the sarcarsm except I was not arguing on the opinions matter but the "boring to some" vs. "talentless artist" issue, I pointed a finger at the moon and I see how many find easier to discuss the finger, but nevermind, feel free to come here and rant at Joe's work.

I don't understand this series. It seems KR are getting lazier and lazier, just rehashing old ideas.

He's nice. But does anyone else feel that a massive entertainment company like Disney labeling some of their products as 'designer toys' is trying to muscle in on the phenomena that by its nature has something of an outsider ethos? I mean Disney & Co. have been making toys for, well forever, yet when the art toy movement comes along they conveniently hitch a ride. Or am I just a snob!!! O_O
I do have to say I own a Cheshire Cat and I love him, but then it isn't really a Disney character though they do own the rights... -

Aren't the Toy Story characters designed by Pixar? Disney (Walt Disney Pictures) is the huge distributor for the films etc.
And these being made my Medicom in my opinion make them designer toys to some extent.
Peeps buying them tells them they made the right decision to "hitch a ride" ;) -

I'm just saying Disney is very mainstream while the artists I like are the ones who made the designer toy movement what it is today like Frank Kozik, Andrew Bell, Kathie Olivas, Nathan Jurevicius. Maybe not outsider art but certainly edgy, strange and at times dark...

Designer toys aren't mainstream yet. Maybe in the US it might seem like it, but in Europe they really aren't mainstream - although their popularity is growing fast.

You need to sleep Sergey, or you'll get sick!!! =(
But I know from past experience that when I'm on a manic high and barely sleeping I do heaps of writing, the ideas flood out of me. Ah insomnia you bring out my creativeness like nothing else.... -
