Are your children sleeping too much? Give them one of these handcrafted critters, and watch them gibber with terror until the break of day! Orange Monkey and Pals

No, I didn't make it up. I got it off of B3ta. I don't think they made it up, either.

It's not made for kids, you shmuck, it's ART. Marvel in it. Absorb it. Analyse it. Buy one, stick it on the wall, and make a fortune selling it in 73 years.

You only have so much time until the aliens come crashing, thinking they've found a new home.

No, rrrrrrrrreally? People don't buy funfur monstrosities for fifty quid a pop just for junior to dribble/puke/widdle over? What price parenthood, eh?

My cunning plan is to give these to all my mates' sprogs as gifts, then when the irate folks hurl the offending object back at me I declare it to be "found art" and can make even more money. Bodily fluids add value, y'know.

I actually think Orange Monkey is really cute. I also like Panda Mamma. But then I'm sick.

I liked Dog on Wheels, myself. But then I'm even sicker than Persephone.

"No, rrrrrrreally?"

Ey, Mordant - sorry, I thought the "art, marvel, alien" thing would give my IRONY away...

I'll strive to be more obvious next time

And here's me thinking that my excessive consonants would perform the same function. Ah well. Here's to getting to know each other better.

"In this series, I playfully explore doll making"

I must remember this line next time I realise I'm crap at something.

Mordant - Naw, actually more of a "oh, pleeeease" function. But then again, why state the obvious.
Anyway - I'm pretty sure the Pink Bird doll will star in some of my future nightmares. Wire legs, and snap on lungs? These people scare me.

I love them. But there's no point in buying them when you can easily make them at home. Maybe I'll do that instead of NaNoWriMo.

Exp: do both. Let the doll write your novel.

Mordant, how do you find this shit? Do you spend all day tapping "ugly weird toys" into Google? The same goes for whoever started the coffin thread - What you were you doing searching for coffins?!?

Mr Illmatic, you asked for something i think for ages but never have the guts to say....
YEAH YOU BUNCH OF DEGENERATED PERVERTS FREAKS, won't you stop make our childs afraid ? uh ?

Man alive! I love the way she lulls you into a false sense of security by starting you off on the lovable monkey ("what are they on about? That's luvverly," you think), and then pushes you head first into the violently disturbed green dog thing ("AAAARRGGHH!")

I think they rock, especially the cyclops cat. Look pretty well made, with the exception of the birdies, which are all the funnier for looking half-arsed. The dolls house pictures are worth a peek too, especially the charcoal ones. Smashing find, MC.

Wow. The Plush Cthulhu rocks. Did I miss this in another thread?

Those Orange Monkey's don't so much look scary as, well, just fucking retarded really.. they look like birth defect monkeys..

I find their existence really quite disturbing.. little misshapen monster toys whose child-pleasing cuteness and joy of life is submerged by the fact that they look like they've been sown together by a murderous demented headcase with deformed fingers..

It's worked. Nightmares are surely on the way.

And I didn't even see the one-eyed cat and the "Cyclops Organ Bear".. AARGH! AARGH! AG! ARGH!
