Biography
With a deft hand and a keen eye for character, Gary Ham is quickly establishing himself as a unique voice in the pop and toy art world. His characters and illustrations evoke a bold, 1960s animation style of delivery while still maintaining a modern sensibility. His ability to present the appeal of nostalgia without relying on the past is uncanny, and fine art collectors are just as eager to snap up his work as toy collectors.
