I know that this isn’t my usual thing to write about. And as far as I know, no one here has ever talked about The Bad Dragon line of sex toys. But given what just happened, I feel someone who is part of the Eden community should say something.

On Tuesday, October 11th, one of the artists/designers and minds behind Bad Dragon Toys, Athus Nadorian, died in a car accident in Phoenix AZ. He was only 29 years old.

Most people don’t know about this little and innovative company. They cater to the pet play crowd, and the furry community. They make anthro dildos and masturbators. They even have their own kind of lube.

I came across their work via a playmate who is a puppy boy. He would use his K9 dildo a lot when we would play.

I actually met them earlier this year. I was able to talk with the owner and designers of the company. These guys were amazing. They weren’t just trying to sell their work. They were more interested in the people that were there. They were the kind of guys that I would want to have a drink with. I even had the chance to talk with Athus for a little while that afternoon.

My husband got me one of the smaller dildos, a mini one, and the lube.

They were about to boost their production rate. A few friends of mine were trying to make this company just as big as the mainstream sex toy companies.

When I heard about the designer’s death, all that I could think is, ‘what a waist of that amazing talent.’ He could have easily been a huge name. His work looked so real and so artistic. His colors were either real or fantasy.

Truly a loss to the sex toy world.

The most amazing sex toy artist that you have never heard of is gone.
