How awesome are these plushies from Ninon? Tania is a full time plush toy maker based in Germany (but she’s Italian). Les monstrìs is her ongoing collection of monster plush toys. She started sewing clothes for herself and friends and found that she was also drawing a lot of monsters, and so decided to join her two loves. What’s fantastic is that there are never two plushies that are alike!

Keep up with her on her blog and her awesomely colorful flickr stream.


Loving the works of Gemma Latimer who is based in Nottingham. Central to her works is an assortment of strange creatures and characters; images of which were collected at flea markets and charity shops lovingly put together and revealed with the aid of a photocopier.
Read up on her blog for her latest news & works, and also take a peek into her online portfolio while waiting for her website to be ready.
