All Hail The Chalkmaster!

Check out the AMAZING chalkboard sign "chalked" by Greenpoint artist, Hilary Pharr (also, my wondrous girlfriend). This isn't the first time she's made a completely awesome chalkboard sign for AREA PLAY, unfortunately, we never managed to capture her work digitally... This time I made sure to take plenty of pictures. Let us examine!

Hilary used the Schleich Koala (#14303) figure as a model, contrary to what you might think, this dude could not stand still for a second. Additional point of interest: I had a giant stuffed Koala when i was a kid named Wally Koally.

Check the "Oball" from Rhino Toys!! It's not just for kids anymore; all manner of marine life love the OBALL. The Sea Lion was also based on a Schleich figure (#14365). Unlike the Koala, this one could stay still all day and didn't say a peep... not one... single... peep. (I suspect he/she must've been one of those military sea lions that search for old torpedo shells at the bottom of the ocean. I didn't ask.)

Is it a simple game of monkey in the middle gone awry? Or is there something else going on? Perhaps the hermit crab is conveying a message of warning to the viewer... or surrender? Or both??!!

These bunnies work cheap. Seriously.


Maxing and Relaxing. Hitting the sauce maybe....


These robots were actually NOT inspired by WALL-E as we haven't seen it yet. I designed the top one basically originally using a repeated hexagonal motif. The final result is modified as only the head remains hexagonal. The second robot seems to be conjured from retrofuturist concepts from the 50s and 60s of humanoid artificial intelligence. In this particular example, emotion, or rather e-motion, is expressed through a flashing of lights, in this case: a rapid display projects excitement and wonder.

ummm... you're here reading it so... I guess........ keep it on up!


And that's it. Pretty awesome eh? If we were at a benefit banquet I'd say give Hilary a standing ovation for donating her talent and time, but we're not so I'll say she takes donations via PayPal.. oh and cash. She takes cash.

To: My great co-worker.

Heelarious

aye...customers...

You know, I hate to complain about customers but this morning I must have encountered like 3-4 people just asking me stupid questions!

They come in and look through all the racks and then the prices and go "oh my god! $30 for a t-shirt? That's crazy!" So ok I would think after that they would just sorta stop looking and making a mess but nooo, they continue! I would suggest some items that are maybe a little less or items on sale but they don't want it. They like the things that are full price, but not the price...so they take their anger out on me and start to ask me dumb questions like "why are kids tee shirts so expensive? and where is it made? China?"

Come on people!! This is a boutique that sells high quality kids clothing and toys that you can't really buy any place else. The items we sell are made with care and quality. That is what you are paying for. Please respect that.
