meeka

 i think about this strange little creature every day, so i am very surprised that i have waited so long to write about her/him/it...

i made this one while i was living in Tofino, BC.  i wish i had kept it for myself, but it was sold to someone who may or may not share my obsession.  

i'm not exactly sure what it is about it that i love so much.  the crooked mouth, the jagged teeth, the teeny legs supporting the mishapen, pudgy body...  

it never ocurred to me that people would be confused about what it was.  who cares what it is, it's awesome! 

the photo says Pamela, but

i have named it Meeka, after my dog Mika.  they are both ridiculous and i love them.
