The Saddest Pin Set Ever by Ezra Brown (Feb 3)

The Saddest Pin Set Ever by Ezra Brown (Feb 3)

In what may be either a genius or a terrible marketing move, art toy shop Tenacious Toys has teamed up with California artist Ezra Brown on The Saddest Pin Set Ever.

DROP DATE: FEB 3 @ 1PM EST

This limited-edition enamel pin 3-pack features Ezra's signature character Happy the Clown, along with Ezra's own furry friend Coco (RIP). Coco wears a halo, as she is no longer with us. Happy the Clown is seen shedding tears, and also depicted lying down and "pushing daisies" as the expression goes.

So what does it all mean? In a nod to Ezra's artistic exploration of happiness, sadness, triumphs and defeats, Benny's concept for this pin set deals with the joy and pain of daily life.

Our pets can be our best friends, yet we are cursed in many cases to outlive them, again and again and again. It can be enough to make even the Happiest of Clowns break down in tears...

A lot of us have lost a "once in a lifetime" pet that we really connected with - for Ezra, that was Coco. Only one thing can stop that kind of pain... your own death. Yeah, one day you'll be pushing up daisies too. If you're lucky, you'll walk across that Rainbow Bridge and find your Coco on the other side. We can only hope.

There's a lesson here somewhere. Actually, it's not that hard to find: make every day count. Enjoy the laughter and the pain, it'll all be over too soon.

Grab these pins and put them on your bag or your hat or your jacket and let them serve as a reminder to live every day to the fullest.

Do something good every day. Cuddle with your cat, give your dog belly rubs. Kiss your kids as they fall asleep. Walk an old lady across the street. Help a neighbor shovel their driveway. You never know when it'll be your last chance to do that.

The Saddest Pin Set Ever features 3 enamel pins ranging in size from 3 inches (Happy Pushing Daisies) to 1.5 inches (Coco), each with 2 posts and rubber backing.

All 3 pins are affixed to one cardback, adorned with Ezra's artwork. This is a limited edition of 200 sets.

The $30 pin set drops on the homepage of Tenacious Toys at 1PM EST on Friday February 3rd.

Catch Benny and Ezra on Instagram Live at 2PM just after the drop, chatting about art, life, toys and characters and of course, this pin set.

Big C at SDCC on Panel for Vets in the Arts, Then Dropping New Baby Fatts Vinyl July 29th

Big C at SDCC on Panel for Vets in the Arts, Then Dropping New Baby Fatts Vinyl July 29th

WATCH BENNY'S 1-MINUTE UNBOXING VIDEO

California-based multidisciplinary artist Big C (Colin Hoffman) has a busy month coming up with a panel at SDCC and then a new vinyl toy drop at the end of the month!

On July 21st, Colin will be participating in a 10AM panel at SDCC, the world's biggest pop culture convention which takes place in San Diego July 21-24. The panel topic is "Veterans in the Arts and Pop Culture" and will take place at SDCC in Room 29AB.

Military veterans who have a common goal for creativity and wellness through the arts discuss the community and their unique perspectives as individuals, visual artists, and popular culture creatives.

Panel info: https://www.eventeny.com/events/comiccon-2022-3116/?action=schedule-item&action_ops[item_id]=19502

Just after SDCC wraps, east coast art toy shop Tenacious Toys will be releasing the very first colorway of Colin's Baby Fatts character in vinyl (previous releases have been in resin). The first color will be a super limited 38-piece run in a glow in the dark blue vinyl called "Blue Moon Glow." Baby Fatts vinyl figures are produced in the USA at Mile High Sofubi in Colorado. Priced at $40 each, this soft vinyl Baby Fatts figure will drop at TenaciousToys.com at 4PM EST on July 29th.

Colin has released a book about Baby Fatts titled "Baby Fatts: The World's First Dragon." Illustrated by Playful Gorilla, the paperback is geared towards kids with easy reading and a positive message of self-esteem and compassion (available on Amazon).

"We are thrilled to continue to engage with Colin and further encourage the creative expression of our veterans," says Tenacious Toys CEO Benny Kline. "The fact that we get to work with an SDCC speaker on a new toy release, AND we get to say that this toy was produced right here in the USA, is a really special moment for us. We are looking forward to more projects and artist engagement like this!"
