Candy and Nick Robertson are the wonderful artists behind Noferin, and they've just launched a new Kickstarter campaign! I AM GOODY is an inspiring concept- a well-designed, thoughtful magazine for kids ages 6-12! (Of course, I was hooked the moment I saw my favorite duo, TADO had designed the first cover!), plus there will be puzzles by Peskimo, and contributions by Andrea Kang! Lots of great people coming together on this project!
About I AM GOODY:
I AM GOODY is a quarterly magazine for girls and boys aged 6 - 12 years old that dares to be different. It is inspiring. It is beautiful. It is unique. GOODY is creating and celebrating goodness.
Let's help make this great idea a reality! Visit the I AM GOODY kickstarter HERE.

About Bedtime Bunnies Peter’s Bedtime Bunnies are original resin figures hand made and produced by Peter himself in his Brooklyn studio. They have garnered much popularity and a huge following through this past year. This will be the first time the figures will be presented in an exhibition of custom works.
“Bedtime Bunnies Imagined on a late night inspired by fairy tales and children’s books the image of bunnies wearing bunnie-slippers came to mind and so became these sleepwalking companions to those long magical nights. It’s been one full year since the bunnies debuted last Spring with many colors, variations and form. We continue to bring you new things from their world. Stay up with them. Peter Kato is an artist who explores the subjects of imagination & sleep through toy sculpting, illustration & painting. He spends his time in his Brooklyn studio dreaming up curious bunnies, robots and clever animals.”

BEDTIME BUNNIES ARTIST SERIES
Bedtime Bunnies: were inspired by the works of artists who had these dreamlike qualities with their magical animals and color palettes. Artists like Apak and Andrea Kang (especially) have been instrumental in this inspiration.
Bedtime Bunnies Blank Artist Series: Were specifically created to be able to approach those artists for collaborations. I thought instead of having these artists just paint over an existing bunnie sculpt why not provide them with a canvas that their art can really bring to life. So to make a more appropriate canvas figure, I kept the basic form of the original and made a few adjustments. I lowered the arms on its body to eliminate the sleepwalking behavior and left the faces blank so that the artists could truly make an original design. I felt that these different illustrators (Andrea Kang first) would be able to interpret the figure in an interesting way.

One of my favorite artists, Bubi Au Yeung, has created a wonderful collection of characters and quotes based around the idea of a quiet, harmonious and creative workplace. I was so lucky to be asked to contribute to this project, and I came up with Tune Bear (above). Check out The Quiet Company to see all the awesome characters created by artists like Andrea Kang, Olla Boku, Cristina de Lera, Joanne Liu and lots of others! Each character has a job description explaining their role in The Quiet Company.
Andrea Kang has recently posted some new, very lovely work onto her online portfolio. I love everything in it!
