Third Drawer Down X Chris Johanson, Feels Real Good Plush Balloon

Description

Known for featuring cartoon-like figures and honest humor in his work, the Chris Johanson Plush Balloons hero the American artists style perfectly. Riffing on Johanson's original drawings, this pair of soft balloon toys beg to be hugged and are as inviting as their feel-good expressions.
A wonderful gift to introduce children to art, or for art-loving adults to display on beds, sofas or shelves.
