Vatican’s Mascot Designer Made Devil-Decorated "Sex Toys"
An online search on tokidoki shows that the cartoonist is involved in productions and partnerships to promote various products with his "characters". Legno has worked with Karl Lagerfeld, the Guggenheim Museum, Hello Kitty, Marvel, Barbie and Canon, among others.
In 2017, in collaboration with the brand Lovehoney, he lent his images to a line of vibrators. One of the series features a little devil (pictured).
Another Legno character is the subtly sexualised "Dragon Girl". She combines a "cute" aesthetic with suggestive visuals such as dragon motifs, tattoos, body-hugging outfits and poses.
In June 2023, tokidoki also wished: "Happy Pride Month to all. To celebrate, tokidoki would like to spread love and positivity by giving back. Please join us in donating to these wonderful organisations that support the LGBQT+ community.
The secularised and decadent Vatican could have commissioned one of the many artists in the Catholic world to design a 'mascot', or perhaps even a saint?
