This Week’s Featured Toy Pitches |
|
Our Toy and Games Agent Riley Wilkinson has been working with our artists on some fabulous toy concepts for you. Feast your eyes! |
|
|
Check out this fantastic Felt Activity Kit by Zoë Ingram.
Children and families will build memories together as they decorate a holiday evergreen tree or a woodland oak. Felt pieces and a wood base are tactile and living room-worthy! |

Next we have “Don’t Drop Dinner” by Erica Root!
A balanced meal is a real challenge in this stacking race game for 2-4 players. Dinner guests take turns piling their platter, morsel by morsel. If your plate topples over, you’ll go hungry. The glutton with their heaping plate intact wins dessert! A game of skill, this balancing buffet is sure to fill up any giggly belly. |

Yup, you read that right. We’ve taken on another new artist!
When I teach over at
Make Art That Sells, I have the enviable job of watching students grow into incredible artists, and there are always many I swoon over.
However, we just couldn’t resist this artist, who consistently wowed me with their class assignments.
I bet you’re not even reading this and just scrolling down to see who we’ve picked, and I don’t blame you for a minute! 🤣

Paloma O’Toole
Originally from Spain, now living in Newport Pagnell, UK
Q: What was your favorite illustration assignment?
A: I loved the graphic novel assignment on my first ever MATS Bootcamp. It pushed my limits without feeling like effort but being very playful and very inspired.

We’re delighted to welcome Paloma to our group! Not only is her work extraordinary, magical, and charming, but she’s lovely to work with.
I envision two commercial tracks for Paloma. First, I see her illustrating (and writing) many, many glorious and transformative picture books with her charming chatracters. Second, her more mystical and magical work is perfect for oracle decks, tarot cards and related books.
–> Paloma attended my Author/Artist Residency where she wrote a charming picture book on gender fluidity. She’s got the manuscript and gorgeous dummy ready to pitch. Art directors and editors, if interested, please contact us.
