Made by Moxie - heads up for the NY trip tomorrow

There's another exhibit I'd be checking out tomorrow if I were going to NYC. It's called "icons & totems & pieces of the past" by the artist Moxie, and it is at gallery hanahou.  It is a collection of these really cool felted sculptures. 

I love this one, because Fisher Price's Little People (the real ones - not those supersized bastardizations they have out now) like "the bully" below were my absolute most favorite-ist toy as a kid:


Made out of felt!  Knitted!  That rocks my socks.

And this one is cool too:


I'm a child of the 80s.  What can I say?

I just love when an artist uses an unconventional medium in an unconventional way.  Check out more of Moxie's stuff at:

I also love the layout of the site, with each day's post being a picture.  That appeals to my visual nature.  Even though I can be looong winded in my posts, I'd actually just prefer to look at pretty pictures.  ; )
