hanging in that space of 'so ugly, they're adorable', house of ingri naugahyde stuffies have faces anyone will love. for us 80's kids - the sweet mugs are ever-so-slightly reminiscent of ET but without the creepy, alien thing. so, so cute & hand-made in brooklyn.

His hand-cut, custom portraits start at just $25. Everyone should have original artwork in their home. Now there's no excuse not to!
