Meet Q-Man

I love mini Q-mans ... Q-men? Whatever they are, they're so simple...yet so awesome and hilarious (you can make them hang upside-down if you want). They come in bigger sizes and different colors too. The same company made the arrow. They're called Nuop Design, which only sells wholesale right now, but you can still get your hands on these sometimes randomly at stores. So great. I met one of the creators/artists, and he was really cool and nice. I should have just bought a hundred of these guys. I keep giving them away, but I want a bunch of them so that they can link together.

The story behind this: First I found these little multi-colored mini Q-man things in New York City in December of 2009 when doing a pre-grad school interview thing. Then I went back for the real interviews in March of 2010. I was determined to find the Nuop store so that I could see all of their other cool things and get more Q people. Unfortunately, I was dumb and called them directly to ask where their store was--only to find that they only sell wholesale. One of the creators was nice though and invited me to his office building's lobby and let me buy some things directly from him. So nice and cool...and kinda crazy (in a fun way). And there ya go.
