BizarreBeasts

What happens when a hand-drawn cartoon character jumps off the screen and into real life? 🐐 The BizarreBeasts universe has lived in my sketchbooks, physical paintings, interactive browser games, and custom digital animation software. But a package just arrived at my studio that takes my core framework of building BizarreBeasts (Make. Anchor. Play. Spread. Belong.) to a whole new level. I turned my original illustrations and digital animation rigs of @jasperbb, the BIZARRE mascot and character in our upcoming DCP+ series (@dcpfoundation), into a custom, handcrafted live-action puppet. Now he's hanging out in the studio, going to be giving behind-the-scenes tours, and generally GOING BIZARRE around Downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. Watch the unboxing and Jasper's puppet debut in the video below, and read my recent @paragraph about how I'm expanding the storytelling of BizarreBeasts ($BB) 👇 https://paragraph.com/@bizarrebeasts/meet-jasper-the-first-bizarrebeasts-puppet-in-real-life

GM, BIZARRE ☕ BizarreBeasts ($BB) was awarded a @clanker Ecosystem Fund (CEF) Sustainability Grant!
