toybox 10:00 minutes 2007 (Excerpt)
"toybox combines creepiness and playfulness in a series of animations that manipulate the most misused toy of all--the penis. Stripped of eros and emotion, Mead's scenarios of sex gone mad play with the absurd qualities of an appendage and a desire that has a mind of its own and a drive so strong that it leads to self-destruction. Wrik Mead's twenty second animated film plays with his own box of experimental toys, combining all of this talented filmmakers previous techniques--pixilation, claymation, stop-motion and cut-outs--in a series of video shorts tied together with new digital sampling experiments drawn from the seedy and sometimes sad world of men's sexual play." Julia Creet

In 2008 the shorts 'bare', 'prick' and 'ache' were extracted from toybox and made available independentally.
