The folks at LAIKA studios will be offering up a selection of artwork for the very first time in a limited auction, The Art of LAIKA, coming up next month!

Over 250 puppets, models, props and artwork pieces will be up for grabs on Thursday, February 12 in an auction held by Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills.

LAIKA will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the auction to The Art of Elysium, a non-profit arts organisation that works to make art a catalyst for social change by bringing creativity and inspiration to children, artists, and various populations in need.

The auction will feature pieces from Coraline, Paranorman and the recently released The Boxtrolls!
