Our position on using our (and by extension: our artists') art & imagery. Because this seems to have come up in other channels, and we're hopelessly backed-up adding formal policies and guidance to our store website. So, this serves as a heads-up and temporary policy on the subject:1) We are ok with any derivative artworks being made of our toys & artwork, as long as they don't fall in the main categories of products that we have: pooltoys, dakis, blankets, T-shirts. Credits, tagging etc. would be nice but we don't insist on it. (Both CC-0 and CC-BY uses are acceptable;...

Lizet's two playful cats, inspired by Barados, were a success that overwhelmed us, especially since the production had a few hiccups that resulted in us not getting as many of them made as we originally planned. The snep and the cougar sold out in record time. Starting on 1 October 2023 we will open a new round of pre-orders for these in addition to a larger pair of cats - Sundara, the tigress, and Laini, the lioness, also drawn by Lizet. You'll find ALL pre-order information on the respective product page for each cat. We will endeavour to maintain this...

Welcome to a bit of product history. Today: join us on the journey that took Tarni from being an idea to becoming a real, inflatable shark. We will focus mostly on the creative part, since this is easy to illustrate and fun to watch. We do take a lot of time to get things "right", so this may look like a complicated way to do things. There are probably easier ways to get an inflatable made - though not necessarily with the same result. What we would like to share with you, though, is that our work is more than...

Join our new Telegram channel! Getting the right information out in time on projects, art & deliveries is not always easy. We still receive a lot of emails with questions that we thought we had already answered on the one or other social media platform. Replying to individual enquiries takes time - often that means a frustrating wait for a reply by those who have written to us, until we get around to replying or until the question has become obsolete. While the mainstay of our public communication is still our Twitter account, we realise that even with the significant...
