Back in 2001, Sun-Min Kim forever changed the course of history when she sent her then long-distance boyfriend, David Horvath, a hand-sewn plush doll modeled after a little character he frequently doodled into the corners of his correspondence with her. The apron-wearing little fellow was named Wage, and he was the very first Uglydoll. Eventually, Sun-Min would bring to life even more of David’s drawings, and what began as a huggable love-letter of sorts would result in a hugely successful line of plush dolls. (More after link)
I posted about 'Ugly Dolls' recently, this is a great interview on Crown Dozen with one of the co-creators, David Horvath. Visit David's online art gallery at davidhorvath.com.
