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:

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

Hellooooooooooo,

i´m Thomas Joschko,

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 best ot look at an irregular flight of a butterfly or to wonder at leafs falling down a tree.

Why is play so important?

Play shifts our thinking, inspires Connection, and sparks Creativity.

In childhood we play to become who we are, in adulthood we play to express and sustain who we are. A playful mindset helps us to release judgement, embrace possibility and reframe success. Plus it feels good. make us more agile 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- a small business. Which is a environmently, colorful and beautiful concept store for art and design, where i sell my handmade toys and art to kidults.
