The Orphans Plush 2009
Sooooooooo, we're totally stoked about releasing 'The Orphans' in plush form because, well, they're super awesome and they're desperate to worm their way into your hearts and homes!.
Designed and hand made by ATAW(yes, I am actually sewing...), each Orphan is a unique original illustration in plush form.
Hand printed, hand painted, hand made, SIGNED AND NUMBERED, means that each Orphan is a unique bundle of crafty crazy awesomeness! And for a cool $40cdn(Large) and $30(Small), they're a real steal...

Orphans all jumbled up. For those curious, that out of place face use to be my'boss' when i was slaving away in architecture( so toall those who i used to work for: I actually didn't mind the guy and see what I turned him into...you can only imagine what things I'm dreaming up for those that I absolutely detested...)
A lonely sleeping Orphans in a sea of older Orphans illustrations...

Orphans Process Image
This shows the progression from sketch model to final 'form.' It's interesting that I decided to start this with scrap fabric and a rough illustration for the face... I pretty much hermited it out for a couple months in studio to develop it to this point..and I 'm already think about what to add to it!
