Designer Plush FRIENDS WITH YOU MR.TTT MINT w/ Tag Famous Art Collective MALFI

Friends With You makes magical toys. These plush are infused with art and when you hold one it is said you have a power that wasn't there before. Well, I can vouch for this much: When you hold one you'll be happier than you were before. It's true. Even the manliest of men will smile when hugging one of these guys. Art is the key word here. These plush are all hand made and the folks over at the lab pay attention to detail and give each friend a personality. It's this artistry and obvious love of their job that set Friends With You apart from the pack. Aside from plush, the creators create installation art that has the same quirky sensibilities. Often, they will incorporate the plush in some fashion on a much larger scale. They also create logos, ads, a series of pop up books, and illustrations. Like I said, these are artists creating toys with the sensibilities you would expect.

THESE ARE THE MOST DESIRED OF ALL THE VINTAGE  FRIENDS WITH YOU ITEMS. AS WITH ALL FRIENDS WITH YOU, THEY ARE LIMITED AND THEY DO SELL OUT FAST AND RETAIN A HIGH VALUE.

FriendsWithYou (FWY) is an art collaborative based in Los Angeles, California, founded in Miami, Florida, by Samuel Albert Borkson (b.1979, Plantation, Florida) and Arturo Sandoval III (b. 1976, Havana, Cuba) in 2002, which seeks to redesign spirituality, rituals, and religious acts for modern day usage and connectivity. FriendsWithYou’s mission coincides with their motto "Magic, Luck, and Friendship."

The collaborative began by creating soft sculptures as a means to spread more accessible art like plush and wood toys, as well as immersive art installations, fine art works including sculpture and painting, and are best known for their public art spectacles such as large-scale art installations, playgrounds, and performance pieces. They have described the creation of their art as a healing process intended to increase relatability and connection to each other and the world around them. To date, they have become internationally recognized with public exhibits and artworks in Europe, Asia, Australia, and The Americas.

FriendsWithYou Fine Art has been exhibited and/or included in the permanent collections of Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), Haus der Kulturen der Welt Museum Berlin, and Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin among others. In October 2006, the German art press Die Gestalten Verlag published a Friends With You monograph titled Friends With You Have Powers!
