Hello everyone!

So much has happened in such a short time. We hope you and your family are doing well and are safe. Here in Sherwood Park, Canada in Okedoki Studio we have been busy working away on many projects. Finally we can unveil a long awaited project Benny the Dreamer 2020. This particular project has been many years in the works and we couldn’t be more happy with the results so far.

Benny the Dreamer 2020 celebrates a year all of us will never forget. It has tested every fibre in our social and collective consciousness. As the year is coming to a close, and as I am typing this after the US election, perhaps we will see some much needed light and positivity around the corner.

Benny the Dreamer was first created in 2010 while I was going through my cancer treatment. I wanted to leave something in the world that embodied joy and innocence. Benny the Dreamer was that embodiment as I sculpted him using super sculpey and worked with Vince Su of VTSS of Taiwan to bring that dream to life. Benny the Dreamer in 2011 was a Finalist in Toy of the Year from the Designer Toy Awards, which Vince and I were more than humbled and honoured by.

Now, after a decade of learning and creating Benny the Dreamer in his many incarnations, we are releasing the original Benny the Dreamer, completely handmade and hand painted in our little Sherwood Park studio. We have taken all that we learned in the last 10 years from rotocasting, 3D modeling, mold making, casting, wood working to painting and utilized it in this particular project. We hope you enjoy the latest incarnation of Benny the Dreamer in his sitting pose with his eyes closed, day dreaming away…

Big shout out to my crew for making this all happen. You are all amazing!
