Here are two new guys that I made for the MF Toys Show. I have plans to go out tomorrow night and attend the opening also! That should be a fun time. I sent along Paulie and Mini R. T. for the show too since they they haven’t been out in the Big Apple yet.
Cherry Bum
(You may notice he looks a lot like Rain-bow Bile-bow. Well yes, that is because they are identical step-brothers! If you are interested in adopting R. B., here is the place to click. You can see the rest of the available Plush You SF plushes here.)
Evil Weevil
I feel like I may have named somebody else Evil Weevil too. It’s the kind of name that keeps floating around in my head. Oh well lots of people have the same names. This guy is not really evil though. Unless you consider destroying crops and spreading E. Coli to be evil. His legs are made from one of my daughter’s super cute shirts that she has now grown out of. The rest of him is made out of pure evil. Oh yeah so I guess he is evil then.
Here’s more info on the show, from MF:

Live Fast NYC is a cool little Rock ‘n’ Roll Clothing store located at 57 Clinton St. In New York City’s Lower East Side. Opened in 2005 by C.C. Bullets of the Gotham Girls Rollerderby, Live Fast features day-glo wall art by MF Gallery artist Joe Simko, and carries all sorts of rockin’ duds, sometimes hand-made by small designers.
The opening party, (On Saturday November 15th from 7 to 11 pm) co-hosted by MF Gallery and Live Fast, will certainly draw a colorful mix of art lovers, rockers, and all sorts of tattooed freaks. Admission is free and open to all ages. There will be free beer (21+) all night long.
