Toy Confidential: The Secret Life of Snarky Toys is the new book from Aled Lewis. Aled was born in Portsmouth but moved to London in 2005 and has been having great success as a designer and illustrator.
The Toy Stories book showcases 100 original images of plastic toys interacting in unusual ways including conceited unicorns and dinosaurs, ponies that looked bigger on eBay, Lassie negotiating for a bigger bed, a sad pinata and pugs snorting cocaine.
You can view some of the images included on the Toy Confidential’s Facebook page. I genuinely recommend you taking the time to look at the page and getting the book as I promise it will literally have you laughing out loud.
This would make an ideal christmas gift for a loved one, well, after a Strong Island 2013 Calendar that is! The book is released on the 27th November and is currently priced at £6.99 on Amazon if you pre order it now. The RRP is £9.99.

I have come across Aleds work many times on my Internet travels. I adore it so much. Hope to get them stocked at The Gold Room gallery store for sure, and perhaps approach him to exhibit some of the images and toys.
