Hello everyone hope the weekend has treated you awesomely. So this week I’m releasing the Andrea Kang x Peter Kato Bedtime Bunnies. This collaboration is the first to debut this blank canvas bunnie figure. The sculpt was made the same time the original bedtime bunnie was introduced, since then both me & Andrea Kang took time & care( especially her, she worked on these figures for a long time ) and are so happy to finally release them.
How the Bedtime Bunnies as a whole came to be...
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.
