Seen: Bartholomew Punchyface Release @ GR2

1_bmpf_release

On a busy Saturday evening, Scott Tolleson and Luke Chueh released the standard edition of their Bartholomew Punchyface plush at Giant Robot 2.  Their new toy offers a lighthearted, all in good fun look at nerdiness. Produced by 3DRetro, Bartholomew offers a slightly melancholy face and his wedgie  in the back just might be the reason. 

After some gallery hopping earlier in the evening, I was fortunate enough to get to Gr2 take some shots of Luke, Scott and Bartholomew near the end.  In an interactive twist, fans were encouraged to doodle on Bartholomew fliers and then put their masterpieces on the wall.  Fans also either chose to wear or were  more fittingly victimized with different printed yellow ‘kick me’ style notes.  

In addition to the plush, GR2 also offered a two print set featuring one Bartholomew image each from Luke and Scott.   As you can see in the shots after the jump, Scott and Luke took turns doodling on some early test runs of the print with some humorous and cool results.   If you missed the release, both the plush ($40) and the prints ($50) are available from GR2.
