Ep. 253 Toys on Tap w/ Madworld Toys: From Needles to Kaiju: The Tattoo Artist Who Wouldn’t Stop Creating
Sunday, 7 December, 2025
After finally seeing each other at DesignerCon, we get to dive into the awkward art of navigating conventions and the respect it takes to approach people well. Madworld shares how 18 years of tattooing, childhood love of monsters, and a creative slump pushed him into sofubi. We get to walk through the journey from early sketches to producing his kaiju Eborath, the sludge-born protector inspired by sci-fi and horror. From selling out at G-Fest to planning new designs, Adam’s story is grit, community, and creative rebirth.On Instagram: @madworldtoysThis Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!
