Totem Doppelgängers

Introducing the Totem Doppelgänger family from Kidrobot, designed by Anton Ginzburg.
A Doppelgänger is a ghostly double of a living person, harbingers of bad luck in folklore, and often associated with omen, the likes of witchcraft, wizadry, pitchfork-flaming-torches stuff, recently through scientific investigation had unexpectedly reproduced an effect strongly reminiscent of the doppelgänger phenomenon via the electromagnetic stimulation of a patient's brain in the left temporoparietal junction.
Designed by Anton Ginzburg, a Russian-American contemporary artist based in New York, the Totem Doppelgänger figurines are a replica of his work displayed as an installation piece for the 1st Moscow Biennial of Contemporary Art in 2006, these figurines are produced by Kidrobot, a collectible vinyl toy company (www.kidrobot.com), too cute to be associated with omens or bad luck, comes in a set of three in ghostly, phantom shapes.

They Look.
"This is a work of art, not a toy." according to packaging, also designed by Anton.

Warble decided that he was not interested in the secrets Gorble and Michealangelo was conversing over, since their body language and gestures suggested that he will be better off not knowing their plans. Gorble and Michealangelo were up to something. Something.


Alas, their plans becomes apparent, their cooperative shadows overpowering Warble, he felt left out and becomes omnious to the fact that, maybe, he just wasn't cool enough to partake in their pointless misadventures, of stacking on top of one another.

"Oh hi Warble," bellowed Gorble from above, Michealangelo just murmmured something, unable to speak from the pressure above.
"We saw this totem stack from the inter-net, and was wanting to try it out, needs three phantoms to work."
Engcouraged by his re-founded friendship, Warble decided to join their expedition.

End.
Supporting procrastination and late nights since 2007.
