TOYS!

So my homies at Joy Engine/Cypher 13 began this project called Soft & Furry months ago. They handmade some 100 or so toys and them sent them around the world (and locally) to be modified, designed, and birthed into full fledged characters. On September 13 they hosted a show at the Plastic Chapel in Denver to reveal what the artists from across the globe had created out of their molds. No one could have expected some of the toys that had been created. My favorite, was purchased by my boss Randall and is currently hiding out in his office. It is a modification of the Groond mold by Kristian Kluver and looks like this:

I figured building them a display was the least I could do since they had another sibling that was killed by a laser! Its a long but totally true story that is too heart wrenching to tell on a blog.
