Playtime toy collaboration

Several weeks back I was looking at the talented Alberto Cerriteno's flickr and he had a post about having no response from toy companies for a toy idea he had. When I saw it, I instantly knew how I would make it out of wood, so I contacted Alberto about a collaboration. He loved the idea and trusted me with how I would translate his design in wood.

Alberto then painted it in only the way he can and it turned out amazing! This cool cat is 6.75" to the tip of his highest ear and 7.25" to the top of his tail. I am very proud of our collaborative effort. To view more of Alberto's art visit his blog
