Death by Chocolate






DEATH BY CHOCOLATE is what Mumbai based animators Asavari Kumar and Chewang Bhutia like to be known as. They are heavily influenced by the urban vinyl phenomenon and are manically obsessed with contemporary character design. While the DBC duo are still working out the kinks in the retail and production of their dolls, the possibilities for Indian urban vinyls are exciting (& intriguing.) I wouldn't mind if the dolls started to resemble the morbid cuteness of their illustrations.More here.
