Oddity of the Week: Womberscootches

Lemur Gurl Art Womberscootch

What the hell is this? Who cares, it’s adorable! Lemur Gurl Art has a running theme of gothic portraiture, where shadow-eyed aristocrats are upstaged by cuddly little…things. Which, in Lemur Gurl’s sculptures, have slithered out of their paintings and into 3-D form, available in Economy or Deluxe models (depending if you want the little batty wings or not.) Better yet, they are color-customizeable and come with adoption certificates.
