Custom Delights: Steff Bomb's plush Game Boy

6:00 PM on 02.10.2012   |   Brian Szabelski

Tomorrow evening, OhNo!Doom's Super Button Mashers opens its doors, and one of the invited artists for the exhibit is the one and only Steff Bomb. For her piece, she's made a plush Game Boy and cartridge (featuring Tetris). The plush is 6 inches by 4 inches by 1.5 inches and it gives me instant flashbacks to a Christmas morning in my younger days, when I got the big, blocky Game Boy and was overjoyed. I still have it, actually!

Steff Bomb's one-off piece will be part of Super Button Mashers when it opens Saturday evening at 6 p.m. Central at OhNo!Doom (1800 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago). Again I say I wish I could go, but alas, other things will keep me busy tomorrow. Go if you can, though! And buy this for me for a birthday present, please!
