“Luv-able + Hug-able” Plush Pre-sale!
Dec 7th
Oh my gosh! Luv-able + Hug-able opens this Thursday! There are soo many delightful plushes in this year’s show, and the setup is well underway at gallery hanahou. Gabriel let me take a couple pics of him hard at work with my cell phone:
(Can you spot my little wearable guys on the table?)
And guess what? A special pre-sale just started for VIPs like you, my blog readers! That means you get to see all the plushes before anyone else and even buy them before the general public. Download the PDF catalog to see it all. (The ordering info is on the last page of the PDF.)
There are many to choose from, but are a few of my favorites in this year’s show…
“Funnel Cake Wearing his Tattoo” by ChrisCreatures:
“Little Audrey” by Evangelione:
And “Octowreath” by Hine Mizushima:
If you’re in NYC, please join us this Thursday evening 7-9 pm at gallery hanahou for the opening!
