Deep Creeps
Plush Toy
16″ x 10″
2012
During the day I’m a Design Manager for Warner Bros. Digital, but in my spare time I design plush toys. The Deep Creeps are my latest collection. They are a cadre of huggable, glow-in-the-dark friends from the very bottom of the ocean. There is Leonardo the (half) dumbo octopus, and Mariana the Anglerfish with her Lanternfish companion, Chummy (so named for he is both friend and food). I designed these from top to bottom, from the pattern to the packaging to the glowing and magnetic features.
