The Tenacious Collective leads independent artists to New York Comic Con success

Deep within the chaos of the 20th New York Comic Con’s Exhibit Hall sits one of the convention’s largest and most unique booths: the Tenacious Collective. The Tenacious Collective is a recurring booth at the convention, led by Benny Kline, founder of Tenacious Toys. Each year, Kline brings together a group of friends and fellow creators to showcase and sell their work.  Kline has a long and storied background in art, but since founding Tenacious Toys, he has found his own niche in the art world through selling others’ work and representing independent artists.  “The best thing I can do for this entire community is shine a light on emerging artists…I feel like that is my role here, is elevating every single one of those artists,” Kline said. His collective is all about helping independent artists and fostering a strong sense of community within his work. Kline talked extensively about how the Tenacious Collective has become a family, with everyone coming together sharing their love
