GROOND’s been hard at work cultivating his little BABY BOOMERS. He also finished hybridizing his latest strain of fungus, Psuperpsilophalocybin. More on those trippy little boomers soon…

GROOND has been in the c13 lab (under cypher13’s supervision) tinkering a bit in preparation for S&F™’s public debut. He’s been bio-engineering a new breed of fungus, Psilophalocybin, more commonly referred to around the lab as “Baby Boomers.” GROOND’s new fungus is intended to assist both he and LOOFT in their earthly duties… cleansing the soil and purifying the air. Psilophalocybin has proven to exhibit accelerated soil detoxifying capabilities in tandem with rampant carbon dioxide processing, resulting in the production ultra-rich oxygen. The project has been so successful that GROOND, LOOFT, and DOO intend to collaborate as a team this very evening in an effort to produce an even more robust fungus… Psuperpsilophalocybin. We’re keeping our fingers crossed. More soon…

Our studio mate and regular collaborator, Joseph Shaeffer just wrapped up his contribution to the SOFT&FURRY™ exhibition at the Plastic Chapel. Gotta say it’s one of my personal faves. Joe spent a couple days clamping and aligning GROOND on the mill, machining out some recessed little nooks and crannies and integrating a number of custom accouterments. His backpack (not visible in the photo) is frikin’ amazing!!!

Jan Willem aka Zeptonn via the Netherlands just shot over some sneaky pics of his toy for the S&F™ show. This week is starting to feel like Christmas and Hanukah had a baby and that baby had some SOFT&FURRY babies… What a holiday that would be!

Over the weekend we finished makin’ our 100th member of the S&F™ family. The studio got pretty torn up, and out of respect for Joe and Chris (our studio mates - that have been super chill while we made a massive mess) we spent some time cleaning, and in so doing organized all the materials we used to mold and cast our not so soft and furry friends. Here’s pretty much everything you’d need to hand-cast a whole bunch of urethane toys and a shot of the studio relatively cleaned up.

Phu! just finished dominating his S&F™ handmade DOO. When it comes to customs, Phu! is pretty tough to beat. He took DOO to a whole new place… Rumor has it he’s even got Kluver a little nervous… and he’s not an easy guy to rattle when it comes to custom shit. Awesome.

Kurt just showed up with our recontextualized, laser-etched rendition of the Bill of Rights… the final focal component of our Manifest Hope Gallery piece. Homey killed it. Shit’s tight. We’re stoked. Nice work Kurt!!! Arghhhhhhh, we Can’t wait to see all the art down there. According to reports from Lefavor (who’s nearly finished with his 7 huge, yep that’s 7 pieces - all roughly 4′ x 5′) - it’s pretty fuckin’ amazing.
