Jeff Wysaki, under his alias of Obvious Plant, has been making splendid fake toys and signs for the delight of the Internet for quite some time now.
For the first time ever (if you’re in LA in March), you’ll be able to see the “obvious plants” in person at a pop-up exhibition Obvious Plant’s Museum of Toys in Mid-City at Start LA.
More than a hundred toys and games will be on display and most likely crowd your social media feeds for how subversively kitschy they all are. Opening night, which happens to be free, has already sold out, but you can attend on other days for $10 and each night offers something different.

March 2nd (12-9pm) Poorly Drawn Lines Pop-Up
