Negativity Scene™ is a delightful play on a Christmas tradition. The angry, scowling faces are sure to make you and yours smile.

Update: The Negativity Scene™ song!!!

The Negativity Scene™ is the brainchild of artist and musician, David Nedrow.  Following a casual conversation with his sister and niece about a family friends “Bah Humbug” attitude towards the upcoming Holiday Season, David joked that the friend should display a “Negativity Scene” instead of a Nativity Scene. That phrase and the image it created never left David’s mind and in a matter of weeks, a crude Negativity Scene™ was delivered to his niece, and a new family Christmas tradition was born 

Now, with your help, everyone can enjoy and celebrate the Christmas season with their own high quality Negativity Scene™.

The Negativity Scene™ is more than just a clever play on the traditional Nativity Scene—placed on a coffee table or mantle, the Negativity Scene™ is designed to look like a traditional Nativity Scene from just a few feet away—its only upon a closer look that you notice the unique facial features that make the Negativity Scene™  special.

I started with the idea that I did not want cheaply made, poor quality figures.  I have spent the last few months designing, refining and perfecting the Negativity Scene™ figures into the set you see here. The tallest figures, the standing Kings, are 2 1/2  inches high--perfect for the smallest of display places. The heads are designed to be slightly out of scale with the bodies to accentuate the unique facial features.  From the flow of the robes and gowns, to the 5 fingered hands, to detailed ears, to the belts and ties, to the trim on the gift chests, I designed each figure to be a high quality piece with details not possible in a cheaply made plastic toy.

Finally, Each figure is cast in resin and individually hand painted. Please note things like the blush on a cheek, the trim on the donkey's blanket and the highlights in the sheep's coat as a few of the paint details that make these figures something I am proud of and you will be proud to have in your home or office. Visit us on our website or our Facebook page to get detailed pictures of all the figures from multiple angles

So the journey starts here: with the help of our Kickstarter supporters, I will be able to fill all my Kickstarter orders and have enough left over to continue producing  Negativity Scenes™ on a limited and ongoing basis. The money I am asking for is 100% for inventory (and the shipping thereof) and that inventory will be flipped for more inventory, and at some point, if the stars align, everyone that wants a Negativity Scene™ will have one.

I was way too easy

The mouth and facial hair are just perfect, on me and on the figure. Made my glasses smaller to excentuate the angry face.

The figures can be kneeling or standing, a shepherd or royalty.  The color combinations can be left to me or you can select your own colors.

Angry, angry me!
