The Toy Face Tour is the culmination of a project that digital illustrator Amrit Pal Singh started in the pandemic
How many of us, when we were younger, dreamed of shrinking to the size of a figurine and exploring the world through the lens of a toy? This is the fantasy that digital illustrator Amrit Pal Singh brings to life, but in reverse. His latest project, the Toy Face Tour, features the toy faces of famous personalities in dollhouse-like settings.
“The project started in 2020, when the pandemic kicked in,” Singh explains. “A lot of us were spending our time online. People were talking about the concept of a digital identity. First, I started [these toy faces] as an illustration project, where I wanted to create diverse-looking avatars that represent people from all around the world.” The 33-year-old visual artist’s work was spotlighted when he designed an NFT—which he calls ‘non-fungible toys’—modelled on Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in 2021. Singh picked popular icons that 90’s kids could relate to, as he observed that a lot of the digital asset ownership was held by this group.
