"We'll officially open for in-person viewing at our gallery in Chicago beginning Saturday, December 19, 10am-8pm, but we are being cautious and will not be holding an opening reception. Rotofugi, 2780 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago. Face covering required and capacity is limited to 15 visitors at a time."
"Sad Salesman is New York-based artist Eric Althin…he believes there is a little sad salesman in everyone. He created a tragic but tenacious fellow, who ended up becoming his mascot/logo/website. He has always been a character lover and for most of his life, a toy collector. As a kid it was He-man and Star Wars toys, then it became designer toys and sofubi. He started sculpting his own toy designs and fell in love with bringing new characters into the world to make your inner sad salesman smile."
"Horrible Adorables are the creations of Jordan Elise Perme and Christopher Lees, a wife and husband team from Cleveland. They met at the Cleveland Institute of Art where Jordan graduated with her BFA in Fiber & Material Studies, and Chris was pursuing training in fine arts after completing his BS in Mechanical Engineering."
