Plushinality - Robutz
These are the things that make you who you are. Embodied on each are the aspects of my personality as a “Robutz” (soft mahine).



Shock-headed Peter
Characters based on Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann’s German children’s book Struwwelpeter. Each piece is pulled from a fable where the lesson is taught through a very direct if not blunt outcome. Lessons include; cut your hair when it gets too long (Shock Headed Peter), don’t play with machetes (Harriet), never play with guns (the Hare), and finish your soup (Augustus).




Yun:
(yu-n) slang term used in the Ohio Valley/Pittsburg area. Replacement for the term“you all.” Also: An abstract piece of art that can be use as a pillow. What better inspiration for art than the place you grew up?


Plush-line
A personal timeline showing how some years you keep close the things that made you grow and even
acknowlege that those dark years also had a hand in making you who you are.


Shapesters
Do you see the hidden face in objects? I find any old Tom, Dick or Harry in simple shapes.
Move the eyes or mouth. You can change the direction of the fur and face.




Drink & Draw
A group of creatives getting together drawing under the influence of a lot of alcohol.
We compare sketches with other folks that love to draw and find helpful critics when
needed.
