William Källback Winter is a media and communication science student currently living in Umeå, Sweden. In November last year he started a comedy/art blog called Furby Living, where he recreates album covers with Furbys imitating various musicians. Furby, a plush animatronic toy, was incredibly popular at its release in 1998 with its lifelike animations and reactions. It recently had a reboot in form of a more high-tech toy with LED-eyes, multiple personalities and companion app for iOS and Android.

Winter's work has since been publicly endorsed by some of the artists recreated, including Britney Spears, Björk, Bat For Lashes and graphic designers M/M Paris, as well as many entertainment news outlets such as BuzzFeed, Yahoo!, Perez Hilton and Mashable.

Furby Living is not affiliated with Hasbro, Furby or any of the musicians presented.
