Ok, I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to see an exhibition which revolves around this inspiring theme. So I was super excited when I heard the news that Steve Rack will be displaying his Toe Fluff to the world, but that’s not all, he also invited his friends to display their toe fluff too. Sounds good, right? I never imagined that there can be so many different types, different shapes and sizes, seriously beautiful stuff. And, of course I wouldn’t miss this opportunity to reveal my own fluff, but that will take some time to prepare.

“..The Toe Fluff exhibition explores Steve Rack’s Toe Fluff toy character concept. Steve has invited his friends, and fellow artists to collaborate by imagining what their Toe Fluff might look like. The Toe Fluff exhibition is set to be a true feast for the eyes with art from around the world by well known artists, aspiring artists, young artists and anyone else who fancies joining in!..” – Toe Fluff
The project is open to submissions, download the template at Toe Fluff and submit your very own toe fluff.

Today I’ve been enjoying the slightly warped illustrations of the talented Toronto-based illustrator Chris Brett, like his Spy Guy print above! The characters are surreal enough by themselves but when added to Chris’ mixed-media style they take on a freak-show-esque quality… in a good way!! You can see a whole stack of his work and buy some of them as prints over on his Society6 page. Well worth a look!

I would say Fifi Lapin is the ultimate Diva in the world of character illustration. She is a sweet bunny with big silk ears, and doesn’t only have a strong interest in carrots, carrot cakes and carrot juices like ordinary bunnies do; she is also dressed in the most glamorous and elegant outfits, following the latest trends of fashion and updating her wardrobe every few days. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Galiano, Topshop are just some of the distinguished brands and designers Fifi can be seen sporting!

Thunder Chunky proudly presents, all the way from the mystical land of Greece, shrouded in a cute but slightly sinister charm, the newest member to our Chunks of Thunder team, Wundercloud aka little Antri Katsiki.
With the stress and pressures of real work, running an up to date design blog like Thunder Chunky is no easy task. So with this in mind, we’ve always been on the look out for talented, and creative contributors which will compliment our existing group.
We feel that Antri will give TC a fresh new lift, giving us a more diverse selection of news from a completely different view point, in respects to her tastes and her female touch, which is lacking in the current group of TC males.
Its hard to even scrap the surface of her creativeness with my words. From graphic, to web, to toys and animation, you can get a feel for her charms and creative insights on the new Wundercloud website / Wundercloud blog, and you can follow her Wundercloud twitter. Hope this will whet your appetites, look forward to the new era of Thunder Chunky.
“..Andriana Katsiki is a Greek New Media Artist and Designer living in Liverpool. She loves daydreaming, creating imaginary worlds and meeting strange beings in the ocean of her mind. She believes there is beauty in everything and everyone, using her work as a path to reveal it to the world…”

If you’re a fan of 50s cartoons and illustration then you’ll definitely enjoy the work of London-based illustrator and animator Ben Mounsey (aka Green Glasses). With his rockin’ retro-tinged style it’s no surprise that he’s got Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon’s feathers in his cap! We particularly like his wide-eyed characters!
In true creative form, Ben created a set of trading-card-style business cards featuring a range of his characters. Surely the bus stop card is a chase one!

We here at TC have been big fans of Meomi’s cute critters for a fair few years now, so we were chuffed to hear that they’d landed the contract to do the mascots for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. And with only a year to go till the fuzzy fellas (including a Sasquatch!) launch the event, we thought it’d be great to sneak a chat with Vicki Wong – one half of the design super-duo!
