Kirby blower

I'm unveiling a new design for Coachella 2025. In a previous post, I shared my intention to create this, and it's amusing because many will likely wonder why Kirby is sporting red shoes that differ from his usual round ones. The inspiration stems from one of my earliest digital illustrations, created on my iPad in 2020. The artwork, titled No More Nightmares in Dreamland, features Kirby wearing the iconic Kanye West "Red October" Air Yeezys atop a girl's head. Initially, my Kirby design included the standard red boots, but I decided to revisit and pay homage to that 2020 piece by incorporating the Yeezys into this year's design.

Currently, I'm in the process of 3D printing the entire shell. Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses. You can expect to see this full animatronic at Coachella 2025!
