Toyrannosaurus About the Design
Renee Dupree: "I would definitely describe myself as a POP artist. I chose pop art probably as a result of my retail store in Pittsburgh's South Side, called GROOVY Pop Culture Emporium. For the past nine years I have been selling collectibles, mostly toys. I have acquired a warehouse of art supplies as a result of many years of collecting and doing business. Most often I use toys in my artwork, and so naturally I would love to construct a toy-covered dinosaur!

Sold!"The toys include dice, marbles, game pieces, dominoes, checkers, army men, matchbox cars, plastic figurines, cake decorations, lego's, doll accessories, trinkets, and a large array of small plastic toys."
