Phil Barbato and his Monsters

Nothing says "indie craft" like cutesy plush monsters. I dug Phil's stuff, sort of carnival game prize meets anime geekery. He comes across as a dedicated and sincere crafter, struggling, like most, to make his passion his full-time occupation. He quit his day job a few years back, but still has to supplement the bills with the occasional website design and whatnot. Such is the fate of most creative entrepreneurs. Good luck to you, Phil!
