Rico the Raccoon

Dream in Plastic is a boutique & art gallery in Beacon, NY and online. We specialize in fun! We love art toys, bright colors, photography, showing off artists, making friends, throwing parties and things that smoke and/or have mustaches.Goats N Glory is the moniker used by Hudson Valley artist Allison Braun. Allison was born in Mobile, Alabama to New York native parents. Needless to say, she was culturally eclectic. After collecting pictures of goats, eventually Braun decided to draw one. What resulted was the adorably doe-eyed mascot, "Hortence." She started creating more characters and enjoyed the challenge of making a typically unattractive animal, like a naked mole rat or a jellyfish, into a huggable, adorable character.Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.Dream in Plastic will be holding the 2nd annual custom toy show this January, with an opening reception held January 14, 2011 from 6-9pm. This show is open to anyone, and open to any toy platform!
