Urban Wildlife

In their natural habitat--under couches, beds, and other pieces of furniture--wild species of dust bunnies are quite literally products of their environment. Although humans are typically antagonistic toward dust bunny communities, deeming them unclean and unwanted, dust bunnies themselves are not known to incite obvious rebellions, opting instead to utilize their cunning and ingenuity to outsmart humans and coexist.

The Dust Bunnies and the Electric Broom, forthcoming, is a chronicle of one dust bunny community's first encounter with this unfamiliar machine. Set in an anonymous city apartment, the tale introduces a vivid cast of characters who work together to persevere in the face of a life-threatening foe. Christine Mladic combines quirky and imaginative illustrations with color photographs to create a fantastical underworld that demands to be considered real. Christine is currently seeking representation.
