Seize The Awkward
Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 03:12PM It's awkward to talk about mental health, but it's so important to check in with your friends about how they're doing. That's the theme of the new #SeizeTheAwkward campaign that I was happy to contribute to with this image, commissioned by Droga5.
You can find more information on the website, and see more #SeizeTheAwkward posters by cool artists on the project's instagram.

This is the Top GIF of 2017!
Thursday, December 7, 2017 at 03:37PM 
GIPHY.com just announced that this little heart-knitting gnome is Top GIF of 2017, with more than 400 MILLION views! They were even talking about it on the Today Show. Unreal!
The people at GIPHY explained to me that love is popular, then algorithms did the rest.

Funky Punky Gnomes Blind Boxes
Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 11:13AM Fresh off their Spring 2017 Disco Tour, the gnomes of Funky Fleece fame are ready to dance their way into your hands!
Now available in the Mochimochi Land shop, each gnome is hand knitted and needle felted by me in Chicago, and each is stitched to his own personal sparkly felt disco tile for self-standing superpowers.
These guys are available in blind boxes, so you may get a mullet gnome, an afro gnome, or a mohawk gnome.
See how they got so very funky in my 2015 stop-motion animations Funky Fleece and this year's thrilling sequel!

A Cheesy Love Story for Arla
