Everytime Lana Crooks creates something new, my mind is blown!! This piece is for the Nosellots Super Show Shindig at Screaming Sky Gallery in Portland. Nosellots are cute plush monsters by Scott Tolleson; Lana chose Francis as her tribute subject.

Francis is one of the smallest known Nosellots. He works as a Microbiologist. He is constantly forgetting his last name, even though it is printed on his lab coat. A Nosellot anomaly, Francis used to be able to fly until his horns grew too heavy. Now, when he is very excited, he can flutter high enough to reach the top shelf. This makes him very happy.

The Nosellots Super Show Shindig opens on August 11 and runs through September 9.
