Jason Freeny is an American artist specializing in sculpture, designer toys and computer-generated imagery. He is the owner of Moist Production studio, which acts as the main publisher and distributor of his works. He is best known for his anatomical art, in which he makes drawings and sculptures of inanimate (usually toy) objects, such as a Lego man, a Barbie doll, the animated fish Nemo or a balloon art dog. Freeny worked for MTV as a freelance production and property designer, where he created the custom trophies used in the Rock'n'Jock series[3] and the televised TRL Awards events. Freeny also spent time at ESPN designing for the mobile division and was a freelance illustrator creating editorial and literary illustrations for Penthouse magazine. Freeny's sculptural and illustration work has served as the basis for several mass-produced toys. He has collaborated with Hong Kong-based Toy2R (on Qee figurines), Hong Kong-based Fame Master toys on the production of anatomical gummy bear toys, US-based Jailbreak Collective on the production of the "CAPSL" collectible series, and US-based Marbles the Brain Store on the creation of Freeny's Brain Cube puzzle. He has also worked with Singapore-based Mighty Jaxx to produce a series of collectible Sanrio and Minions toys. Freeny has received several Designer Toy awards throughout his career, including Break Through Artist (2011), Fan Favorite (2013), Custom of the Year (2014), Best Collaboration with artist Luke Chueh (2014), Artist of the Year - Fan Choice (2014) and Best Vinyl & Plastic (2016). Freeny was the Designer, Art Director and Typographer for the poster series entitled Anatomy, which was awarded the Grand Prize (Exterior) and Gold Medal (Printed Work) at the 2067 Dubai Lynx International Advertising Festival.
