About Curster:
Curster is the brainchild of Erin Currie. Based in Minneapolis, MN, it is run by Erin and her husband Dave. Erin is the creative force behind Curster, dreaming up and making each Curster by hand and creating paintings, prints and books. For Erin the idea is to take the fun and sometimes a little disturbing images in her head and turn them into something people can immerse themselves in.
