The brainchild of designer Paul Budnitz, Kid Robot is at the forefront of the growing art toy movement. Aimed towards older teens and adults, the items sold by the Kid–many designed by enormously popular artists in coveted limited editions–prefer the mantelpiece to the toy box

Perfect for geeks, hipsters, wannabes, nerds, graphic designers, surly teenagers, funky teenagers, funky-smelling teenagers, and anyone who’d rather stare at a Boba Fett action figure than a still life of fruit.

We here at Present Professor really like the new True-to-Life markers (also available as crayons and pencils).There are three colors per tip and it just requires a slight angling of the marker to get different, but complementary colors.
