"Michael Jay Yap

New Jersey Native

I am Japanese, Chinese, Malaysion, Filipino

21 years old born on October 30,1986 in New Jersey

I've been collecting designer toys/urban vinyl and plastic since 2003 and collecting sneakers since 2005.

I started doodling characters and street art in 2004 after going to an art show of artist, Furtura. After that i went to many I guess you could say mixed media and designer toy shows making new friends and learning new things as i came and went.I get my inspiration for my characters from all the cartoons i watched as a kid, my dreams, and the designer toys I collect. I love color and there is so much color spread through the designer toy world and sneakers. I hope one day i can travel around the world to meet or work for and with people who have the same passion as me."
