Blamo

Blamo Blamo Toys, the independent art toy company. Overall, it’s kept the “Toy Thing” interesting for over a decade.

Throughout its short history, there have been some amazing bursts of innovation in the Designer Toy movement – figuring out how to turn the industrial manufacturing process on its head to make art; creating a 3-inch blank toy mold for artists from all over to paint on; repurposing older toys to make customized art sculptures, just to name a few. These innovations have been inevitably followed by a

sea of copycats that vary the original innovation for their own creations, sometimes as an improvement on the original idea, sometimes not so much. But over the past couple of years, these kinds of exciting innovations have been few and far between. This subculture has grown into a market, which has in turn been buffeted by the winds of recession. Toymakers of all sizes have had to work harder to keep the cash flow positive, which has led to safer, risk-averse production choices. Many of the long-term collectors, artists and makers that have been involved in Art Toys for many years - including this writer – have heaved a weary sigh, thinking they’ve seen it all before and looking for something new and different to come along. In this context, Blamo Toys is a much-needed breath of fresh air. Hailing from San Francisco by way of Idaho and other exotic locales, Blamo makes some of the most unique art toys on the market today with great character design and high quality production values. Utilizing some of the mass-production techniques intrinsic to toy making, but with a more hands-on feel, Blamo creates their art sculptures from a variety of materials: wood, leather, metal, and the occasional dabbling in resin. The results remind me of what I have always loved about using toy production as a medium to create art. Written by Jim Crawford

With care and intention, our office will be closed today, January 30th, in support of the nationwide shutdown & joining others in a moment of collective pause and solidarity.

We recognize that these times are placing pressure on small businesses, including ours. Pausing work comes with real impact, but so does continuing as if nothing is happening. There are ways we can support each other while fighting the system.

Over the last 20 years, we’ve witnessed firsthand what bringing people together through art and creation can do. We’ve seen connection form across differences, joy interrupt hardship, and community evolve in ways that feel deeply human. The system often wants us to believe this kind of work is frivolous, unnecessary, or indulgent, but we know otherwise.

The resistance to conform, speaks to who we are, how we choose to live our lives, and what we believe is worth protecting.

Our small international company supports over 30 individuals, many of whom are the primary income source for their families, that’s over 100 people whose lives are connected to this work. Working internationally has shown us the value of shared making, learning across cultures, exchanging skills, and building work that’s richer because of the people who shape it.

Resistance isn’t just about refusing a system we don’t believe in, it’s about continuing to show up for our team, the people we care about, our community, and you.

There is always this question, what can we do? Use our voices. Vote. Make conscious choices. Show up. Boycott. Strike. We believe our everyday decisions matter, how we spend our money and energy, who we support, and how we move through the world.

Without hope, and without belief, greed wins.

So here’s to those who challenge the system; the creators, rebels, activists, weirdos, and free thinkers, the deep feelers and big dreamers. Those who believe another way is possible, and choose to live as if it matters, because it does.

Let’s keep going together - with purpose, heart, naps, hugs, and art. ⚡🖤⚡️

Thank you for being here,
Your Blamo Family
