About Me

Come on! You remember! They’re those hairy dolls that you tried to knock down with baseballs to win the “big” stuffed animal at your local fair. They’ve been around for over a hundred years, but aren’t seen much these days…Generally speaking circus punks, or knock down dolls, were handmade as needed by carnies…The beauty of the dolls was that, “back in the day,” they were all hand-painted…Some rather crudely (the best I’ve seen) and some incredibly detailed…One thing is certain – on a daily basis the dolls took a beating…And if you don’t mind – I’ll brag just for a second – This is one of the only carnival games that I consistently played well and won! And I wasn’t even “cross-firing!” ***Remember – They were and STILL ARE handmade?We print, sew and assemble our Circus Punks by hand?If you’re looking for an art object that’s consistent, perfect and always looks exactly the same? Circus Punks just might not be for you?
