Seawater Sweeties Are Full of Candy Cuteness

That bit about "Fish are Friends, not Food" is an endearing sentiment, but... Inki-Drop's fish friends are food, and, they look adorably delicious.

Seawater Sweeties are super huggable 10"+ plush toys patterned after both yummy treats and endangered animals. Artist Inki-Drop's aims to raise awareness by making plush versions of species that are at risk.

Seawater Sweeties are currently up for funding on Kickstarter to enter a full production run of 1000pcs each. Inki-Drop claims that if fully funded, some future proceeds would be donated to conservation efforts- which I'd surely like to see be the case for a project built on the pathos for animal conservation efforts.

With 3 cuddly characters to choose from, it's hard to pick a favourite. The catch-phrase "bacon of the sea" is a pretty fantastic descriptor for Loin-Shark though.

Pledge for your favourite foody-fish friend on Inki-Drop's Kickstarter here.

Camilla d'Errico Custom Fonzo for Fonzo Love NY

Comics illustrator and Fine Arts painter Camilla d'Errico has a new painted toy to contribute to My Plastic Heart and Freakstore's Fonzo Love NY Exhibition.
Fonzo is a 6" French Bulldog platform, an animal close to Camilla's heart as she owns her own little Frenchie named Loki.

This piece, titled "Rainbow in my Eyes", features a dripping rainbow spill that follows a similar vein to some of Camilla's recent Pop Surrealist paintings she exhibited at her Candy Escape Show last October.

The Dream Melt, 11x14" Oil on Wood

 



Beyond The Rainbow, 11x14" Oil On Wood

 

 "Rainbow In My Eyes" will be available through MyPlasticHeart after opening reception January 11. Contact info@myplasticheart.com for details.

Camilla's Pop Surrealist take on Fine Art Painting is reminiscent even in her toys. Let's get another look at the rest of that Fonzo.
