Luke Rook is Grody to the Max (February 23rd – March 13th) kaiju style plastics takes over Los Angeles via Japan at GR2 (Giant Robot 2). These shots were taken a day prior to the show opening as I was not able to attend and only half of the works were displayed.
Peace!
Luke Rook is a toy maker who moved to Japan to pursue his dreams of being part of the toy world. He researched and soon hit the ground running. He soon gained international recognition for his Grody Shogun figures as well as his unrelenting approach to toy making. There’s none other like him. His humbleness in his work is almost unique and his creativity and ability to think of how toys can be created and put together are that of a fine artist. He won’t hesitate to use parts and pieces that are normally discarded to use. He’ll blend parts of one figure and put them on another to create an entirely different object.
