Oh, Toy Joy. Toy Joy is the toy store for the kid in all of us, with walls and walls of offbeat toys that you can’t find in a big box toy store. Recently, because of finances, Toy Joy moved from its iconic location on 30th and Guadalupe to 2nd street downtown. The new business at the 30th street location painted over the colorful mural outside to a dull, puce green, which to me represents the sad passing of that beloved location. I decided to make two coordinating rings, one for its old location, and one inside its new location. My hope is that Toy Joy continues to inspire wonder for years to come.
