More Custom Previews for THE FAMILIAR FRIENDS SHOW @ Woot Bear Gallery (Opens August 1/2020)

Featured here today is a selection of custom-Familiars to add to these previously featured customs, along with official event press from hosts @wootbearbelly!


EVENT PRESS: Where can you find good art, friendship, and adorable spell casting critters all under one roof? At ’Familiar Friends: A Custom Art Show’ opening at Woot Bear on August 1st! Horrible Adorables’ soft vinyl figure ‘The Familiar,’ sculpted and produced by Squibbles Ink, takes center stage in this show as a platform for 36 artists from around the globe to customize. The result? Pure magic!


EVENT PRESS (CONTINUED): The Familiars are enchanting little creatures from the Horrible Adorables universe who, with their trusty toads in tow, are eager to help those in need by casting elemental based spells. Unfortunately, they are also a little bumbling and have not quite perfected their powers. They might not be great sorcerers yet, but for now they can spark happiness in your heart.

So excited for this show! #Repost @horrible_adorables ・・・ Jinxie meets Jinxie! For ‘Familiar Friends’ we supersized our Familiar character and gave it the traditional Horrible Adorables treatment with scales, flock, and glass eyes! @squibblesink did the original 3D sculpt for the toy and then @horbsadorbs modified it to make this jumbo critter work! Guys... she even has a removable toad in her pouch!!! We have three colors of these little stunners ready for the opening of our group show at @wootbearbelly on August 1st! #familiarfriendsshow #thefamiliartoy #horribleadorables

EVENT PRESS (CONTINUED): In addition to the artist customs, Horrible Adorables will also be presenting some original soft sculpted pieces based on The Familiar and debuting a new color way of the vinyl toy!

Jinxie the Fire Familiar is the fourth color release of The Familiar vinyl toy. Jinxie has a BIG personality and loves to live life to the EXTREME! She just can’t get enough of rocking out while watching the inferno rise, and is often a bit singed from standing too close to the flames.
