JEREMYRIAD is a daily blog about arty toys, clever design, ephemeral art and populist art objects (aka ‘popjects’) written by Jeremy Brautman, a Bay Area-based writer, collector, curator, producer and critic. The blog title, Jeremyriad, is a portmanteau meaning “a myriad of Jeremy”. (“Riad” is not my surname.) Some people say that I “wear many hats,” but I don’t wear hats very often because I feel guilty covering up such a fantastic head of hair. If you need a tidy tagline to sum up this project, lately I’ve been using: “droll discourse about design objects for playful people”.
In addition to blogging, I curated the group art events, LOVE MOVEMENT and EARTH MOVEMENT. I write a recurring column on toy design for the print magazine, Design Bureau. I used to be a ‘trendspotter’ for Cool Hunting and Josh Spear. I’ve consulted for niche brands, including MAQET, Vannen Watches and Jailbreak Toys . Using Kickstarter, I’ve raised funds > $3K for an art show and > $5K for a toy production. I am currently editing a book on toy art.
