Rubbr

Rubbr is a world where rubber ducks step beyond the bathtub and into stories of adventure, identity, and imagination.

What began as a playful idea has grown into a character-driven universe built around transformation. At the heart of Rubbr are rubber ducks that cosplay, wander, explore, and quietly reflect the human experience. Some don knight’s armor, wizard robes, or familiar costumes from beloved worlds. Others venture into forests, mountains, cities, and far-off places — small travelers navigating vast environments.

Each duck is designed with intention. Beneath the humor and charm is a sense of personality and emotional weight: curiosity, courage, companionship, solitude, resilience. A single duck might stand proudly alone. Two ducks together might suggest friendship, distance, or shared journey. These subtle narrative choices allow viewers to project their own meaning into each piece.

Rubbr blends illustration, sculpture, and fine art sensibilities. The work moves fluidly between character-based designs and more contemplative compositions, always balancing whimsy with sincerity. While the ducks may appear lighthearted at first glance, they often carry themes of protection, transformation, and quiet strength — symbols made approachable through familiar, playful forms.

From cosplaying ducks that celebrate fantasy and fandom to wandering ducks placed in expansive landscapes, Rubbr invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and connect. These are small characters in big worlds, reminding us that exploration doesn’t always require grandeur — sometimes it starts with curiosity and a sense of play.

Rubbr exists at the intersection of joy and reflection. It’s a place where imagination leads, stories unfold gently, and even the simplest character can carry meaning.
