We get into the attic with soft sculpture artist Daddy Bears n discuss the inspiration behind the hot girl plush toys

Can you tell us a bit about yourself...

I’m a soft sculpture artist creating cute shiny creatures and objects in London.


What is daddy bears for those who do not know?

Daddy Bears is my name for everything that i do in terms of art hehe


What drew you to first start creating these creatures?

I wanted something to exist as a cute fun transitional object



Do you ever fear for a rivaling mummy bear who will try to take custody of all your silk creatures?

Lol no


Does each creature get made with a personality? - things they love/hate/vow to destroy

Some definitely are born with distinct character traits if you look in their eyes but most are smooth brain empty like moi
