Upper Playground Walrus by Craola

Just in time for the holidays comes the sweet news that Upper Playground will release a vinyl figure of their Walrus mascot produced by Ningyoushi.  For this premiere project they wisely selected long-time collaborator Greg 'Craola' Simkins  who they've worked with on shirts, hoodies and  a solo show.     Craola's  dreaming brings us a dapper walrus dressed to the nines with a blue argyle sweater and a swanky top hat -- both common elements in his painterly wardrobe.  The tweaked gothic-ish handpuppet pushes the design and marks it with Craola's stamp of storytelling.  Refined walrus or darker creature given voice through the tattered hand-puppet... 

The Upper Playground Walrus  stands 7" tall and this first Blue Argyle edition  is limited to 500 pieces @ $68 each.  It's scheduled to drop in December -- so keep a look out.  Also stay tuned for additional Upper Playground x Ningyoushi projects in the near future.
