His wacky plushy like characters in bright and cheerful hues always tend to warm the cockles of my heart. Even when his characters are up to nefarious hi-jinx, they still look cute. No matter what they are up to, they just always look so darn huggable. I’m a big fan of his toys like his Dumb Luck Bunnies, doggy Dunces, and Buckingham Forest QEE. And his paintings? Well, they just rule. Coming soon from the publisher Last Gasp is his new over sized coffee table book Dying of Thirst. This hard cover collectors edition will include works from his solo show I Melt in Your Presence, it includes mixed media pieces that consist of painting atop nudie postcards and oodles of naughtiness. You can pre order the book from Yum Factory here . (news item found on the Hi-Fructose Magazine website!)
