You know when you look back at pictures of yourself as a child and you think, man that banana-yellow Datsun my Dad drove me around in sure made me popular? You now have the power to break the cycle of embarrassment–for both you and your spawn. Since writing about Kid Kustoms’ designer strollers, my eyes have been opened to the secret of how hip and fashionable being a parent must really be. Before I saw these, I couldn’t get past the pee and puke, and now something has changed and I think that thing is Peskimo. Undoubtedly, Peskimo eased me into an increased comfortability with bodily functions via their Monster Burp figure. And now, ToyCyte’s new bud Jamie of Kid Kustoms sent an update on their latest customized stroller fenders, including the above one by Peskimo (proceeds from its sale will go to UNICEF).
Peskimo have been creating characters together since 2002. Their illustrations and animations have adorned vinyl toys, clothing, magazines and TV sets worldwide. They have a small band of monsters working for them in a grotto. Each participant (invite-only) in the Kid Kustoms stroller project is provided a set of fenders. While interchangeable on any of the Kid Kustoms Roddler strollers, the finished products will be displayed in prominent galleries worldwide, and auctioned off on a custom mounted frame, signed by the artist and with a letter of authenticity. The winners will be selected by D.A.W.S subscribers and “the readership from the esteemed magazines providing event coverage.” Each category’s winner will be auctioned off on a Roddler, with proceeds from all sales being donated to the artists’ choice of participating charitable foundations (One is Greater than None, UNICEF, Sacred Circle, Action Against Hunger and Conservation International).
