driven by a spirit of experimentation and the passion to create, i am constantly playing and tinkering to find new, unexpected areas of exploration. 

I create and share things i get excited about. I pour my heart into crafting, experimenting and designing weird things, and love to make art that makes the world a little more:

Hi, I´m Thomas Joschko,

Oh! Aaaand i deeply care about comics, toys, bubbles, creatures and gooey things!

Let´s play!

Playthings to love, love to playthings

I love toys, creatures and the simple joy of spinning a top or watching a kite dance in the wind, interacting with these things brings a sense of wonder and fascination which is truly magical.

Also i like to create weird, quirky characters and objects of play. A huge inspiration for me is nature. Discovering, experimenting with new materials, forms, ideas everyday puts a smile on my face.

I also like to do “nothing”. I´m thinking of moments where it´s just the best ot look at an irregular flight of a butterfly or to wonder at leafs falling down a tree.

The Future of play!

Because i feel like the world needs play more than ever. At a time where playthings are becoming increasingly virtual want to show that the mediums i work with in aren´t about the latest tech or trends but about emotion, atmosphere, narrative and feel.

Goal

To manage Tojo play- my small business. Which is a environmently, colorful and beautilful concept store for art and design, where i sell my handmade toys and art to kidults. With Tojo play i want to inspire, tickle the senses and to get people of their screens, to move and explore this beautiful planet

And to create a series of 4 fun, CE certified, quirky toys with a story. Pieces that people of all ages will love and cherish. I also sell my own: comics, stickers, posters.
