Shawnimals – Ninja Dog @ C2E2

Shawnimals will be presenting a follow up to last year’s popular – and consequently sold-out – Chicago Dog, available exclusively at the 2011 Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2 for short). Enter the Ninja Dog! From the tag…

Some dogs are simply too special to be considered food, yet this does not stop them from being pursued. Ninja Dog can evade the most veracious eaters – even Chicagoans – with his honed ninja skills and innovative gadgetry. He can scale buildings with his sport pepper grapple and mustard rope, blind you with a celery salt smoke bomb, or even smother you with his charred yet strangely squishy bun. You’ve been warned!

Hit the jump for more..

The handmade Ninja Dog plush exclusive is part of a 100 piece edition, available for $25 a piece at the Shawnimals booth (no. 1036 near the signing area). Each one is bagged and numbered, with special header card designed by the Shawnimals team. It comes equipped with everything one would expect a Ninja Dog to need including a sport pepper grapple, a mustard rope, and a satchel containing a celery salt smoke bomb.

C2E2 runs March 18th – 20th, 2011. Tickets and more info can be found at the C2E2 website

If by chance these highly anticipated items aren’t completely sold out by the end of the show, the remaining Ninja Dogs will be available for purchase at the Shawnimals online store.

One more tidbit for Wee Ninja fans: Keep an eye out for the life-sized Wee Ninja who’ll be stealthily wandering the aisles at this year’s C2E2 – perhaps he’ll give you a special ninja treat if you ask nicely…


It’s the Professor’s last day!

Thats right! It’s Saturday and it is your last chance to see Shawnimals’ The Chronicles of Professor Fliggins at the A.Okay official Gallery. Get on over there already…

…before he leaves on another adventure. 

Can’t bring yourself to leave your house? Go online to view and purchase the work (unfortunately you wont be able to get a t-shirt, DIY Fliggins face or those limited edition plush online. You have to go to the gallery for that). Enjoy the show and we will be back next week with another crazy exhibit.

Exhibit Review by Orange Beautiful: “the weekend :: Shawnimals + rain = awesome”

I don’t know about you, but I had a pretty chill weekend. Since it rained pretty much all day Saturday, and most of the day Sunday, I was “forced” to stay inside and relax. No arguments here.

But, before the rain came, Jw and I ventured out on Friday night and caught the opening reception of the Chronicles of Professor Fliggins at one of our favorite shops in Chicago, A.Okay Official (3270 N. Clark Street). The show featured new work from the awesome-ness that is shawnimals – a Chicago company that I first found out about (read: fell in love with) back in 2005, when I bought one of these guys at the DIY Trunk Show.
