Can it really be three years since we first came across Joshua Ben Longo? It is, you know. Where does the time go? We’re delighted to welcome the New York artist back to the pages of We Heart, and even more delighted at the news he brings with him. The Monster Skin Rug — the very creation that first tipped us off to Joshua’s talent — is going into production. Or at least it will be if you lovely lot can find it in your hearts to help Joshua get his Kickstarter campaign off the ground.
Let’s be honest, it would be a cold heart that could say no to a face like the one on his rug. A self-confessed monster maniac, Joshua has been designing, drawing, and sewing together monsters for over 10 years, and his beastly update on the bear skin rug is just one of his many fantastic creations. The prototype Monster Skin Rug was handmade by the man himself, and Joshua needs to raise enough money to produce 300 to the same exacting standards. So please, for the good of humanity, head over to the rug’s Kickstarter page to either pre-order a Monster Skin Rug, or to contribute towards the initial costs — with plenty of original sketches and handmade bits and bobs up for grabs. Off you go…
