Meet the Characters

At the Lobster Studio, character is the name of the game! Ken, co-founder and illustrator of everything you see here, grew up idolizing artists Bill Watterson, Charles Schulz, and Lillian Hoban (to name just a few!). He was amazed at how much feeling and life could be conveyed with just a few pen strokes. The following characters are the adorable stars of our show, reminding you of all the things you loved as a kid!


Fred

Based on Ken’s real life cat, Fred is intensely curious (there’s no box or bag she can resist!), sometimes grumpy, often lazy, and always the bestest friend anyone could ask for!

She’s sweet, loaded with energy, and loves spending as much time as possible with her friends. Based on our real-life cat, she’s a dedicated pal and always there when you need her!

The Little Lobster

The Little Lobster has sweetness, a can-do attitude, and a complete love of everything fun. Endearing, colorful, and cute, the Little Lobster loves to brighten your day!

Phinn

Life’s a little more fun when you have a best friend to take along with you—Phinn is just that pal! He’s sweet, dependable, and brings a ray of happiness wherever he goes.

The Daydreaming Turtle

He’s a dreamer, a hopeless romantic, and unapologetically earnest. His head is in the clouds (often times literally!) and his heart is always on his sleeve.
