J★RYU

I’m honored to reveal a project that Mr Jermaine Rogers ( @dero72 ) asked me to sculpt - “Creeping”. This OG colorway will be available at Jermaine’s upcoming show @ Scion Gallery in Los Angeles on June 22nd alongside a couple of secret colorways. Based on his infamous Dero character, this new sculpt marks Jermaine’s return to the collectible designer collectible scene. Jermaine will be attending the opening from 7-10 so hit up Scion’s website to RSVP and I hope to see you there. #jermainerogers #dero #sciongallery #art #resin #sculpture #designertoy #designervinyl #arttoy #bear #jryu #aos #losangeles #

The Asian curse strikes.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my family, friends, crew, colleagues and supporters for your encouragement and kindness. There’s absolutely no way I could do what I do without you all. As I embark on this next chapter in my life, I do so with the knowledge that I am always surrounded by amazing people who have my back and never falter. I truly appreciate you.

Much love from this old tortoise and thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes. I’m sure I’ll see you soon.
