Well there’s not many art projects where you can design Toe Fluff! Even more so when lots and lots of designed Toe Fluffs form an exhibition. Did I mention it’s for charity too? Read more below!

Steve Rack is an artist. He designed a character called www.toefluff.co.uk, which he thought would be great toy. In fact, he liked Toe Fluff so much that he decided to base an exhibition on it. To shake things up he asked his friends to customize Toe Fluff as part of the show. Well, since Steve’s ‘call for submissions’, things kind of snowballed! The project is now open to all artists.

All you have to do is download the template and get creative! Already over 100 submissions have arrived from the likes of Jam Factory, Cool Surface, Podgypanda, Bubi Au Yeung, 64Colors, Alex Raveland and many, many more amazing artists. All proceeds from printed art files will be donated to The Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the exhibition itself is sponsored by the great guys at Ripe Digital.

Deadline is July 15th, so there is still time to submit! More details at www.toefluff.co.uk.

A bit about the WCA awards

The Working Class Awards are the combined brainchild of @Monsieurcabinet and @Tigzy, who decided to put their Twitter ranting to good use and launch their own awards scheme within the creative industry to promote free entry to competitions within the design industry.

The Working Class Awards is a self-acclaimed NAFF-TA for the art industry, with the aim of giving creatives a chance to get themselves seen in the industry without having to pay the ridiculous fees associated to get there. Being young creatives ourselves, we can’t give you an internship or another fancy prize, but there will be a coveted trophy and of course the chance to get your work seen by some of the most well-respected creatives in the industry, which is of course what the awards are all about. The awards are about bringing creativity back to the masses, with no limitations on previous financial success to hold back entries and so we can once again focus on the underdogs of creativity rather than corporate image.
