Alan Stowe is a freelance graphic designer, Illustrator and writer who has lived his entire life in Los Angeles County. Years of hunting toys from the shores of Long Beach to the sweltering Valleys have forged him into a ninja of the ins and outs of toy collecting. Alan carefully examines every product he gets his mitts on from the perspective of both plastic craving consumer and sustenance supplying manufacturers. After years of annoying his friends with his obsession, he finally decided it was time to annoy a wider audience with his endless stream of toy updates. When Alan is not creating creative creations he is buying toys, watching movies, listening to music, buying toys, reading books/comics, cooking and buying toys.
