Pop surrealists Mark Ryden and Marion Peck have come together to create a children's book, of sorts. Sweet Wishes is a cautionary tale about getting what you wish for. Ryden and Peck don't employ their pens and brushes to this book but instead photograph toys from their collections in scenes very much in their signature styles. Along with the book they produced a film of this delightfully messy fairytale of Dolly, Baby and Bear and all the sweets you can and cannot eat. Remarkably the climax of this charming little story parallels the outcome for several staff members towards the end of a typical Planet Christmas party.
