I admit a fuzzy squirrel is pretty cute but when you’ve got a whole commune of the little buggers all snuggled up intimate like you’ve got a tapestry of exponential cuddle. I think half the point of illustrating these critters is to put important words like ‘snuggle’ and ‘cuddle’ and ‘tree rat’ back into mainstream thought. Think of the effect on mass consciousness. Increased use of these words could lead the world towards a more friendly and lovable future, one small furry animal at a time.

I give the designers at Bond Outerwear a bundle of credit for believing in the power of small fuzzy animals and embracing them into their line of premium outerwear. Though originally envisioned as a brown and tan 70’s style dress jacket liner it was applied 1-color, tonal black to the interior of a high-end 20k waterproofed shell.
