San Francisco's Punch Gallery played host to Curious Creatures, a unique gallery show focusing on the intersection between toy design and contemporary art. Curated by toy sculptor and man-about-town Brin Berliner, Curious Creatures had a special focus on the process - from the original concept art through drawing and sculpting stages and on to the finished product. Each contributor exhibited their original art, including one-off toys, original paintings, prototypes and sculptures.

Curious Creatures had a strong hometown feel, featuring some of the most notable artists working in San Francisco today. But the party was an open house, with special guests from New York City, Houston, Los Angeles, Fresno and beyond. The show's opening night was packed all night and hopping with a trio of DJs, drinks and its very own cardboard robot b-boy.

Here's a quick run-down of the show:
