Artistic renditions of raccoons are always so much more appealing than the real thing. We tend to think of them as cuddly and cute, but they're actually gigantic rodents who look more like little humans crawling into sewers than you'd think. There's some insight in putting a thief's makeshift disguise over the eyes of this guy, but he's still pretty cute with his exaggerated tail (in prison stripes, no less).

It was hard to decide which Donna Wilson Creature to feature. There was a close tie between Edd Red Head, (the most bombastic red headed toy ever seen), and Rill, a fire colored fox with eyes like a bandit. But my true favorite of the bunch is Rudi Raccoon (pictured far right in photo). His awkward little body and white eyes would make the perfect office friend, play companion, or gift. Those who may not see love at first sight, try recalling Michel Gondry’s recent film “Science of Sleep”, where handmade creatures and playful art form character’s dreams and realities. Donna Wilson creates caricatures of animals and indescribable species each stuffed with personality by the hand of the artist. Still, It’s as if she put a pile of colored socks in a blender and the creatures came out on their own accord, forming a different sect of society. Donna Wilson’s Rudi Raccoon and other friends can be found right here at Design Public! (via Design Public)
