Let The Fur Covered Books Start!
October 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment
AN EXPLANATION.
We didn’t really know what to expect when the fur-covered Wild Things landed in our office. Sure, we had seen various swatches of fur sent as sample materials, but how it would all come together was still anyone’s guess. But when we cracked open that first box, we were ecstatic. Like kids on Christmas, we each quietly retreated into corners of the office, and lovingly stylized our hirsute gifts with mohawks, comb-overs, and even outfits. What follows are some of our favorites.
A CHALLENGE.
We think you can do better. So we hereby issue a challenge: style your Wild Thing, title it, and send the under-2-MB effort to webmaster@mcsweeneys.net. We’ll select a winner on November 16th, which we’ll post on our website.
AN ADDED INCENTIVE.
The winner will get a to-be-determined gift, which will be very worthy of his/her efforts (we promise).
A PROCLAMATION.
Let the wild style rumpus start!
