Artist Nate Hill’s Club Animals are venturing into darker territories. The normally furry and fun, candy crack-slinging bouncy riders are now easing your pain with Death Bear. Read more »
Club Animals Offer Free Kisses
This evening, Club Animals, the furry performance group pioneered by reformed roadkill sculptor Nate Hill, will debut a new character and performance. Complement the free bouncy rides and candy crack delivery services, Blizzard the Bunny will dole out “Bunny Butterfly Kisses.” Overcoming her physical impediment, faux eyelashes that don’t blink, Blizzard will begin “coyly attracting people and giving them a tickling kiss to remember” at 9 PM on the Union Square L platform following an hour of human-powered bouncy rides.
Nate Hill shares the peril of being a popular public performance artist: overly enthusiastic audiences. After last night’s human-powered bouncy ride routine, the Club Animals ringmaster writes by email:
SPECIAL SHOUT TO THE KIDS WHO TACKLED ME ON THE BOUNCY RIDE TIP TONIGHT AND I TACKLED BACK ON THE L PLATFORM AND WE COMPASSIONATELY ALL COLLAPSED ON MY FREE BOUNCY RIDE SIGN AND THE GLASS SHATTERED UNDER US. THEN A RAINBOW APPEARED.
On July 24th, Nate Hill will officially start peddling his Candy Crack between the hours of 10PM and 2AM. Sugar-craving custies that live off the L Train, between the Bedford and Montrose Avenue stops, can “call or text 347-742-2293 for delivery.” The artist will show up to people’s houses in full mascot regalia to sell the “make believe” drugs. And this is what makes the project intriguing according to Hill. That and the interplay involved in letting a complete stranger into your house. He writes:

Nate Hill is truly a transformative artist. He’s gone from rewriting the bible to creating roadkill sculptures and giving free human-powered bouncy rides. Now, the artist and his Club Animals crew are hatching a new project: Candy Crack Delivery. Starting next month, he plans on “childizing drugs and drug dealing” by peddling a “100% sugar crack cocaine substitute that comes in different flavors (with snow cone syrup).” Hill plans on bagging up four rocks in a bag and selling them for “$1 a pop” to sweet tooth fiending custies in NYC. But it’s the distribution that really gives it a nice, albeit strange, touch. “I deliver it in a mascot head, a tuxedo, and white gloves to your house,” writes the artist.
Artist Nate Hill, the ringmaster of the Club Animals, writes in to let us know there will be free bouncy rides going down tonight. Check the Lorimer stop platform of the L train between 10 and 11 PM this evening.
Parting Shot: Free Bouncy Rides
Former roadkill artist Nate Hill, mastermind of the A.D.A.M. and E.V.E. dead animal effigies, is working on a less morbid project: Club Animals. This Saturday, Club Animals, which has nothing to do with Furries, offers a human petting zoo at Brouwerij Lane Beer Store in Greenpoint and free bouncy rides on the Union Square L platform.
