Ideas Pop Up from the Strangest Places

by Patrick Chirico

Believe it or not, one of the inspirations for Build Your Block pillows came from these pillows from my childhood. My Hulk Hogan and California Raisin pillows have been in my bedroom with me since I was about six years old. They've travelled with me from my parents' house to New York City, because I can't help but feel nostalgic and at home when I look at them.

I've always tried to honor my roots, so it's time to pay homage to my faithful pillow friends, and give them the credit they deserve for at least planting the Build Your Block seed.
