About Tear Drips

Tear Drips are a new art toy project produced by collaboration between Chicago-based product development specialists Squibbles Ink, designer toy store Rotofugi and artist Travis Lampe. 

Rotofugi Gallery did an exhibit with Travis in December 2007 called Fantasy Cryland. One of the things Travis did for the exhibit were these amazing little hand-stitched and hand-painted pieces he called “Tear Drips.”  Inspired by Travis’ creations, Rotofugi and Squibbles Ink immediately set about to pester Travis into letting them make his art into vinyl toys. Thankfully, he said yes.

Stay tuned for more details.
