Warning:
A Plushtastrophe is Coming!
 Plushtastrophe
will be hitting Chicago this April at the Rotofugi
Toy Store & Gallery. This travelling exhibit
features incredible plush toy creations by more
than 100 international artists, including Spasmodica.
All creatures on display at the show will be for
sale. Oh, boy!
If you're a fan of the indie plush movement or
enjoy seeing what happens when design boundaries
cross over into the artistic toy realm, or perhaps
you just appreciate things that are kick-ass cool,
then you'll definitely want to check out this
show. One of my two pieces is named Johnson. And
that's all I can reveal about my contributions
at this time. ;)
Don't miss the Plushtastrophe
opening reception on Friday, April 8th! Be my
personal guest. The party starts at 7 pm at Rotofugi,
1953 W Chicago Ave. Free drinks. Spinning by DJ
Clayton Counts.

Creature Contest Winner
Congratulations to Amy B. for winning our latest
contest where we asked you to tell us which Spasmodica
character that you liked the best. She chose Squirmy
and here's why:
"I don't think I have ever seen anything
that looked like a sperm with hair before."
Ah, such succinct, winning prose. As the first-place
winner, Amy will receive a 2005
Spasmodica CD desktop calendar. I also enjoyed
Dawson and Susan's submissions, so they each can
expect to receive a little sum'n sum'n in the
mail as well.
Congratulations, Amy, and thanks to everyone
who took the time to enter!

Spasmodica
Participates in The Funny Club Show
What do you get when you give more than 140 US
and international artists an empty canvas in the
form of a blank 4" Funny Club figure? The
result is a fantastic traveling exhibit called
The Funny Club Show.
 
Spasmodica's submission appeared in the form
of an ode to Battle
Angel Alita. Christened Anndroid Attack Angel,
the chrome silver, white-winged
creation sported Gunnm's eyes and a heart,
complete with scratches from battle damage. We
hope others enjoy our interpretation of one of
our favorite anime characters.
The Funny Club Show kicked off in
Chicago at Rotofugi
on March 4, 2005. From Chicago, the exhibit travels
to Munky
King in Chinatown LA before making its final
stop in Taiwan.
