Story Time Group Show

We were super excited to be asked to be a part of Oscar Rosales' Story Time Group show at Monkeyhouse Toys! The show opens this weekend and includes an amazing roster of artists. RSVP to the event on Facebook here!

Monkeyhouse Toys presents "Story Time Group Show” featuring original works by over 40 local, out-of-state, and international artists! This exhibition presents a unique opportunity for the artist to revisit their childhood and create an original character they would have loved to watch on TV or read about in a book when growing up. Each piece is accompanied by a short story written by the artist, exploring their characters fun world and adventures!

The goal of the show was to create a character you would have liked to see as a kid. Here's our story and our party-dress wearing hippo!

In first grade, I wrote a story about a hippo wearing a polka dot party dress. When my teacher asked me what was wrong with the story, I thought I'd made some kind of grammatical error. I never thought she'd question my dress-wearing hippo. It was the first time I realized that not everyone shared my creativity- in my house, hippos DID wear dresses. This hippo became a kind of hero for my childhood, helping me to realize what a true gift creativity really is.
