The bear that gets pushed around and bullied, it’s Bartholomew Punchyface. Imagine how far indie plush has come. The quality is amazing. Check out the details in the photos. The sleeve and knee patches are doubled up like how some of us used to do it back in the day. The pants are actually cords! The back butt area has BVDs that’s loose enough so you can give Bart a wedgie! The belt is really a belt! Yes it’s a plush, but this one is deluxe compared to the rest. See the pics. Great work 3DRetro, we’re not just saying it.

JAMES KOCHALKA AMERICAN ELF: BOOK 2, 3 Kochalka invented the daily diary comic strip, spawning a grassroots comix movement that has swept across the globe. JAMES KOCHALKA SKETCHBOOK DIARIES VOLUME 2, 3, 4 James Kochalka draws a comic for every day of the year, and what emerges is a touching, disturbing, introspctive, sometimes raunchy, but ultimately cute, semi-autobiographical look into the life of the artist. GAMA-GO MAGIC MUG (KITTY CONDO) Heat-sensitive mug magically reveals playful cats when hot liquid is poured into it. GAMA-GO MAGIC MUG (RISE AND SHINE) Heat-sensitive mug magically reveals the woods waking up when hot liquid is poured into it. It was fun shooting Edwin Ushiro who is equally entertaining. His interview reveals that his recent work is about small regrets from his past. From Elementary, middle and high school in Hawaii. He makes it perfect in his art.
