Travis Cain (MFAD '04) creates toys. His most recent is Fun Gus, a series of eccentric mushrooms. He isi attempting to raise funds and has this to say "He is a FUN GUY (ha!) and a pretty cool mushroom - easy going, rockin' some sweet shell toes and just doing his own thing. I think Fun Gus will make a great platform toy for both DIY customizers and artist editions. Speaking of artist editions - 3 great artists have made awesome versions of FUN GUS for launch: Buff Monster, Frank Kozik, and Jeremyville! You can see them in detail on the Kickstarter project page - including the super limited Kickstarter-exclusive color ways."
The photos are from his appearance this past weekend at ComiCon.
