Fluffy Friends by Andry Rajoelina

I currently live in…Paris.

My favorite Pixar movie is…Ratatouille. Living in Paris has nothing to do with it. Really!

My favorite Pixar character is…Guido.

Tell us about your piece: A few days ago I drew a mash-up of Linguini and Hiccup (from Dreamworks’ How To Train Your Dragon) introducing their “pet friends” Remy and Toothless. Then I came up with the idea of doing the same thing with Mei (from My Neighbor Totoro) and Bonnie introducing their fluffy friends. Ultimately, I decided to make a full-on Pixar character mash-up. Bonnie was the perfect character and I still got to draw Totoro!

Who/What inspires you?: One of your recent featured artists (Sascha Preuss) said “inspiration is everywhere.” I totally agree with him.

    Wow I just love this, it’s so adorable! I can’t get over
    the expression on Bonnie’s face, it suits her very well, her easily
    “wowed” personality. Well done Andry :)

    According to the easter egg page for Toy Story 3 at the /Film site, Boo is already in Toy Story 3. She has a backpack with the same design as her door in Monsters Inc., and she’s playing with a blue kitty in front of the girl playing with Lotso, while the gang is getting mauled by toddlers. She’s just Bonnie’s age, not a two year old.

    Stands to reason, we already knew Boo had her own Jessie.
