Custom Toy Pop Up Gallery Show
Just in time for DesignerCon, Camilla will be showcasing 30 new hand-painted customized three-dimensional designer toys, recreating portraits of her widely known and loved girls as figurines in a pop up gallery collection at her booth #2334. The custom toys utilize base platforms released by artist and toy designers, Kathie Olivas’s Wandering Misfits and Seulgie’s Satyrs. These exclusive pieces of art range from three to six inches in size and will not be transferred to prints in the future, further enhancing their individuality and exclusivity. Each toy has been hand-painted and customized in a rainbow of palettes and characters, embracing Camilla’s expression of love and diversity and her love of DesignerCon. In her words, “Unlike the larger, more media-focused events, here the artist can just be an artist. DCon celebrates the soul of the artist, giving individuals the creative freedom to showcase what some only imagine.”

Camilla will be contributing to Shard Show 2, a custom Designer Toy show curated by Scott Tolleson, Kidrobot, and Broke Piggy.
