COARSE STORY: "False Friends – You Used To Keep Me Warm is an emotional exploration of this paradox, asking us why we let ourselves live beneath the same weather patterns, encouraging us to break ourselves free from the storms in our lives.
noop wishes he could forget paw!, but letting go is never easy. As the rain pours down, he knows he can take a step forward and leave paw!'s cloud behind. And one day he will do that. But right now all he wants is to see paw! one last time, so he closes his eyes, steps inside a happy memory, and lets the thunder crash around him."
"This 18" gravity-defying depiction of noop’s emotional landscape comes in two unique editions. Loser finds a bliss-white paw! holding a dark cloud over noop, who stays dry in a solid gray jacket. Nightshade presents noop in a translucent mint-green raincoat and standing beneath a sunset cloudburst just as another tempestuous night begins.
Each order comes with a vengeful paw!, his menacing raincloud, and a melancholic noop braving the storm. Wet from the rain, a mix of colors rush down noop’s face and chest. A removable double-stitched raincoat with functioning zippers, drawstrings, and a rear air vent protects noop from an immutable weather forecast. A ladder reinforced with magnets ensures paw!’s safety as he stands on his toes, looming over his long-lost companion.
A cloud may hang above your head, but every storm will pass with time."
