“Bringing together DesignerCon and NTWRK is the ultimate match,” Designer Con's Founder Ben Goretsky says. “I’m so excited about all of the new content we get to bring to an expanded audience.

NTWRK’s exclusive product drops include:
• Brett Crawford Self made - Brett Crawford’s Self Made vinyl art toy (11.5″) by 3DRetro is Inspired by his original painting and the piece is a creative take on the classic tale of a wood boy. Embodying an entrepreneurial, DIY spirit, the piece features a modern wood boy in the final stages of carving himself out of a tree. As opposed to the fairytale, this wood character is very much a modern soul, from the backwards cap to the fresh sneakers.
• Jason Naylor Black OPN Heart - Brooklyn-based artist Jason Naylor’s signature heart motif seen on numerous murals, designer handbags and even hot air balloons is set to make its art toy debut with the OPN Heart vinyl figure from 3DRetro.
• Aaron Kai Boxed Wave RED - Hawaiian-born Aaron Kai’s debut Boxed Wave Bluevinyl art toy from 3DRetro is set to drop this week on NTWRK. A passionate surfer in high school, Kai’s work flows with his stylized waves inspired by the legendary Hawaiian surf.Featuring an isolated section of one of Kai’s waves, Boxed Wave is perhaps not immediately connected to the ocean for those not familiar with the artist’s inspirations. For those in the know, the cresting red wave with pop art style foam and black motions is immediately recognizable. The art toy sits between Kai’s paintings of large waves and his more abstract patterns seen on apparel.
