I have no clue who runs the show over at PB and although I will continue to shop them from time to time, I usually go to smaller companies or independent artists to find what I need first.

Especially Adler's Muse and Uptopia collections. The blog entry linked below, which I found by googling, shows some of Wiinblad's work. I've been a fan of his for many years and am actually happy to see people's interest in his work increasing recently. http://themoldydoily.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/06/mr_whimsy_rip.html If you're interested in acquiring some of his ceramics or posters, I'd suggest going to Ebay or for the posters, to the Dansk Plakatmuseum. The posters are great for a kid's room or for the living room of big kids like me. http://www.shop.plakatmuseum.dk/default.php?cPath=24&sessionid=aa26e917ee22b284fbc8ef891acf072b I’ve been struck by Adler’s Bjorn Wiinblad inspired work.

They're rounded and softer looking, and I like the smoother texture. And shinier. Cuter for a kid, as well, which is the aim of the store, and not the aim of Mr. Adler (I think).

But I think I would want one with a function such as the piggy bank. I like the elephants, I would take either one. But I think I would want one with a function such as the piggy bank.
