How Did Designer Con Come About?
What what is DesignerCon and how did it get started? Per DesignerCon.com:
Having fun and meeting all your favorite artists, designers, manufacturers, and vendors! Designer Con was founded in 2006 under the name Vinyl Toy Network. The show was created to bring together artists, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the vinyl toy/collectible figures market. The first show was in an 1,100 sq. ft. meeting room at the Pasadena Convention Center and has now grown into over 300,000 sq. ft. with over 700 vendors, art & custom shows, live demonstrations, and much more. DesignerCon now incorporates everything in the world of design including apparel, plush, printing, sculpture, designer toys, and art ranging from fine to urban. The show was founded and still run by companies who are also vendors which is why we strive to provide a fun, safe, comfortable environment for fans, artists, and vendors to meet!

Soey Milk
Soey Milk was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to the United States at the age of eleven. Milk’s early path was leading her to become a ballerina, but after she was first introduced to painting, she immediately found a new passion to pursue. Still, some of the ballet dimensions remained, as she was still strongly drawn to human anatomy. This has become a cornerstone for the development of her photorealistic style.
Soey Milk —UYU & DONKOCAT
Soey Milk’s work often takes a playful, but heavily observational and naturalistic approach. Take a refreshing break and depart from these more weighty concerns with UYU & DONKOCAT. Join Milk in letting go of any self-consciousness of content or concept, and running freely and rampantly through the playground.

Hueman
Allison Torneros, better known in art circles as “Hueman,” is a multidisciplinary artist based in Oakland, CA. Her distinctly gauzy art style is what she likes to call “etherealism,” a blend of ethereal realism. Whether she is creating delicate visions on canvas, augmenting reality through video projections and other digital media, or crushing massive walls with a spray can, she often draws on the human condition to create colorful mash-ups of the abstract and figurative. Her pieces explore themes of time, memory, trauma and healing, and her layered work can be seen on streets and in galleries worldwide. She balances her time between exhibitions and creating public works while also collaborating with some of the world’s top brands that include the Golden State Warriors, Adobe, Nike, Google, L’Oreal, Sony Music, and many more. Her work has found homes in the collections of Ava Duvernay, Usher, P!nk, and Swizz Beats.
Hueman— Chrysalis
“Chrysalis” is one of five installation works created for Homebody, an award-winning, immersive show using video projection technology and AR that explores what might have happened to our collective and individual psyches over the course of a two year pandemic lockdown. Hueman believes that the walls of our homes acted as a chrysalis. With nowhere to go, we were forced to look inward and face ourselves, transforming ourselves from the inside out.
