Fella is an international man of mystery and intrigue! You never know where he might turn up next. Romancing the ladies in Paris, taming wild llamas in Peru, or exploring King Tut's tomb in Egypt, Fella leads the life that most only dream of.
     Since launching into his physical (aka plushie) form in December 2007, Fella has journeyed to the four corners of the globe and back again. Always the charmer and never one to turn down a good meal and free bed, Fella has met and stayed with fellow deviants from nearly every continent.
     Unfortunately, Fella's computer recently suffered a complete hard drive failure and he lost every photo from his adventures around the globe. As you can imagine, he was terribly saddened with such a great loss, but that's when it dawned on him, ...YOU could help create new memories and provide photographic evidence in the process!

Participating in the 'Fella Around the World' contest is easy. Interested deviants simply need a Fella plushie, camera, and some kind of interesting locale.

Do you live near the world's biggest rubber band ball? Take Fella. Does your local coffee shop make the best cup of joe? Fella wants a taste. You know that funny collection of clown figurines your Grandma has? Fella would love to pose with them. Are you traveling to Australia in the next month? Fella's already practicing his Aussie slang.

Whether you're going here or there, bring Fella as a travel companion. Snap a few shots to record your good times and then head back to deviantART to submit your photos.


For those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to meet Fella in the flesh, we're happy to announce that Fella plushies are now 20% off!
