Can you name the artists who had the most profound influence
on you?
I have been under the influence of all artists between Piero Della
Francesca and Marcel Duchamp. However, internet has helped to
know hundreds, thousands of artists. The techniques, disciplines,
tendencies… have been fusing. As a result of this, there are new
artists, new tendencies.
I think… we are living a special moment. But, look out! A high per-
centage is too ephemeral.

I’ve been designing toys for about 4 years and I still have a lot to learn, this
means that there are more toy designs to come. I enjoy making each toy, prepar-
ing that toy for someone who has found Flying Star Toys and feels in tune with
the spirit and soul of the little one that has captured their heart. Each toy requires
precision and mindfulness to achieve their sculpted shape and tailored finish. A
toy being made simply for money doesn’t garner such devotedness I have dis-
covered, so at present I have a notion, perhaps old fashioned, that I’m making a
little treasure for someone’s soul.

Rain Berries. Have you ever traced the path of a rain drop on a window glass? Have you
marvelled at the tiny dew drops covering the grass in the early morning? Perhaps you’ve
collected the tears that have run down the cheek of someone you love. You might not have
known it, but you were in the presence of Rain Berries.”
