When it comes to artistic endeavors, I am forever jealous and proud of my wife.

She decided to learn 3D modelling last week.

Yesterday, she produced her first original injection molded toy.

Meet The Creature from Big Rock Creek.

He's inspired by Kappa, water spirits or monsters from Japanese folklore, and from the almost certainly facetious but persistently reported sightings of a creature emerging from one of the waterways near town.

He'll be available for sale for the first time this weekend at Assembly Required in Asheville, NC.

If you'd like to know more about Kappa, this illustration probably won't help!

But the page it comes from might https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_(folklore)

My wife has a better camera than I do.

Here's her picture of a few of the Kappa inspired creatures.

Anyway, as I said in my #shamelessSelfPromotion thread a few days ago, this is how we make our living now. Both my wife and I are full time artists, toy makers, and producers of media.

If you want to support our work, boost some of the posts I've made about #AssemblyRequired or shoot me a message if you want to reserve some of these toys.
