LaTonka & Sikora’s New Christmas Song
Sikora returns with a new song, his first in years as he joins LaTonka from Fluffy Friends to bring that feel good Christmas music to the world. Fans might not even realize that the voice of LaTonka is also Sikora, he did a duet with himself. “I really wanted to try something different, feel good, fun and catchy.” Sikora said. “Initially, we were going to do a comedic Christmas song with just LaTonka, but when I came up with the lyrics and vocal melodies, I knew we were onto something much bigger.” Sikora continued. “This Christmas” is an original song written by Sikora which features LaTonka singing the first verse and Sikora on the second, they then join together for a big finale that just puts you in the Christmas spirit. The music video premiered exclusively on Fluffy Friends YouTube page today and will also expand to other channels within
New REBORN Artwork Unveiled
Sikora unveiled his latest REBORN artwork today and it features one of his grandest visuals yet. “The concept developed as I was working on it, I know I wanted to use the photo of the French woman which was from the 1860s. The addition of the ocean really started bringing the idea together as Mother Earth. She originally was holding a large feather fan in her hand, when I was pretty much finished with the work, I got the idea to add some seagulls as if they are following her because she represents nourishment and life. That further developed into me adding the water can in her hand instead, creating a “feeding the world” waterfall effect. The crown is actually from the Mind Dynasty which dates back to 1368-1644.” Sikora said. Combining all these elements into a cohesive piece isn’t always easy as Sikora trials and errors concepts.

Fluffy Friends Brings The Screams & Laughs
Fluffy Friends has been pumping out comedy videos for years now but it’s only been recently since they started dabbling with movie parodies. In September fans got an “IT” parody which featured LaTonka talking to Pennywise the clown in the sewer. It exploded on our channels with over 200k views. The latest parody is much bigger, topping off at almost 10 minutes long and features multiple characters. LaTonka Meets Jigsaw is a hilarious spoof on the SAW films. “We wanted to have some fun making parodies and the next one had to be bigger! It started out with just LaTonka but I wanted guest stars to be involved. That’s where the white cheerleader Crystal came in. I then added another, the very first puppet that started Fluffy Friends, Cookie Monster. He was always a parody element, making fun of his character and such. We cut him out of Fluffy Friends
Fluffymoji App Comes To Android
September 27, 2017, marks the one year anniversary of Fluffymoji and also with that came the big announcement that Fluffymoji has finally arrived on Android devices. “Fans have been waiting a long time, it’s taken a while to get it developed but we took the best of the iOS Fluffymoji and Fluffymoji 2 and put them together.” Sikora said. The Android app features an exclusive keyboard which also categorizes the emojis and stickers into moods so it’s easier to find what you want out of the 250+ included stickers. Fluffymoji was a hit with fans and even was honored by Apple and featured on the App Store, where it climbed to the TOP 50 PAID APPS. “It was crazy, I never imagined that would happen, it just proves that if you really want something, do not give up and keep pushing.” Sikora continued. They’re funny, they’re fluffy, they’re awesome! The
