YOU'VE GOT CHEEZY BLASTERS!

For you! I love Liz Lemon. She's the funny, awkward girl in all of us.
If you don't watch 30 Rock... WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?



I might change Oliver's costume to MeatCat.

PlushYou online/ 200th post!

Me and Frank the Bigfoot at the show. In the top left, you can see the plush I purchased! He has antlers!

So, my pieces for the PlushYou! show are available online, in case you'd like to purchase one of them. Geoff the Giant Squid and Frank the Bigfoot! They don't have any info up on the site, but they're both made of felt, hand-sewn by me, and stuffed with polyful. The squid is gi-normous, at 3 feet long, and the Bigfoot is a around 18 inches tall.

I'll also be making some more deer girls (and bunny/cat/fox girls) over the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled. (Or just open, because peeled is something you do to a banana, not so much your eyeballs.)

Oh, and we're off to APE tomorrow! I'll be hanging around the Goblin-Fish Press table, in case ya wanna seeeee me.

seattle, ape, and indieparade!

Back from Seattle, and getting ready for APE this weekend, where Justin has a table again.

The plush show (PlushYou!) went great, and visiting Dan & Ada was fantastic! They have three great dogs, and three great chickens (I wish I'd taken some photos of their chickens, so cute!), and it was just amazing. Seattle is a super fun city, with lots to do. If you ever get the chance to visit, do it!

One of my owls, Bosco, also got featured over at www.indieparade.com, so that was a sweet thing to come back to, also! (Other than my car being rammed into. Ugh.)

Anyway, here's some of our faves from the trip!










Cheers!

halloween at JibJab + seattle updates

This one is from last year, one of my all-time favorites- I worked with Justin on it. The other four are from this year, I also did all the Monster Mash postables- with backgrounds provided by Justin- they were just flipped Live this morning, so check them out!






In other news, I travel on up to Seattle this Friday for the PlushYou! opening. I've never visited the city, so it should be a really good time. I just hope it's not too cold. I've also fully moved into the new apartment, so I'm arranging up my work space and everything. It's coming along nicely, if I do say so myself. I'll post some pictures once it looks respectable enough. I'm also working on some new plush, some commissions, and some new forest girl art dolls. I want to make a fox girl pretty badly, I think the tail would be magnificent.

Anyway, I'll update soon with lots of pictures and things! Oh, and thank you all for the kind words about Drawn! The response was outstanding, really. Thank you!

baby jesus in the hiz-ouse

So, a few mid-week updates are in order, I think.



Here's a ladybug I needle-felted a few weeks back, as a replacement gift for Sarah and Erin, whose Scott C. buttons got stolen by greedy mailmen. This time I taped the envelopes shut, and put a warning: Stealing makes Baby Jesus cry. Both ladybugs arrived intact. So, a shout-out to my homie Baby Jesus for helpin' make that happen.

And now, for the Weirdest Thing I've Seen All Week, technically Last Week:



One of our new favorite friends over at dogsinsweaters.com!

And on a special WTF ALERT: The Cleveland Show is awful. Flat-out awful. They took the least funny character on Family Guy and gave him his own show, with ANTROPOMORPHIC BEARS as his new next-door neighbors. And they have Greek accents. WTF.

big ole week

Big week, I got featured on Drawn! on Monday, and just yesterday Shannon over at Rainbow Fabrics featured my plush owls (3rd store down!)

I'll also have some work in the new Ringling Made-By store, run by Nancy O'Neil. I believe it opens next month, so if you're in that neck of the woods, look out for some of my older work, and some new keychains I'm sending along soon.

This guy, name of Bosco, is also up in the store as of today!

My newst Deer Girl, with an antler modification. Hope you like her.








And in a new segment I'm going to call "The weirdest thing I've seen this week", here's a Czech song about Jozin (Joseph.)
Thanks to Justin, for the link.

Dolly the Deer Girl

This is the plush I've been working on for a little over a week now- stayed up late last night to finish her. I named her Dolly, and she's a deer girl (and yes, I know female deer don't have antlers.) I plan on working in this style on and off when I'm not making funny foods and monsters and simpler pieces. I really like her, maybe because she looks vaguely tired or pissed off.



She started off as this drawing I did at Joe's Diner.

The arms and legs and the line details in the hair are machine-sewn, but all the rest is hand-sewn, thus why it took so long to complete. The fabric I bought from hushbabyco on Esty, and the felt and other baubles are just bits I've collected over the years. Her eyes are safety plastic.

This particular doll won't be up for sale, as I'm keeping her to love for-ev-er, but I'll have some other ones up for sale by the end of the month, including a man with a giant moustache!

baby owl giveaway!

EDIT: Mare MacIntosh won, so congrats! I'll hold another giveaway next month, so keep your eyes pealed for it!

Howdy! In the awesome spirit of, um, early September, I'm running a giveaway this week for this little guy! All you have to do is leave a comment with your name and email and it'll be entered into a random drawing.

On Friday at noon, I'll pick a winner (I'm going assign each comment a number, and use a random number generator) and announce it THIS Friday at noon-thirty (both here, and on my twitter.) Then I'll contact the winner and send them this cute little owl!

In the spirit of fairness, one comment per person, plzkthnx.




Look at that cute little face! Doesn't it just say "Win Me!" ?

gratuitious man boob-age

So, Halloween is just around the corner (not really, but shut up) and I'm going to dress my cat, Oliver, and myself, as Ewoks. So I did this little piece to just give you a small taste of my vision. BEHOLD!



Also, More to Love is starting to wrap up, and let me just say, I'm glad Anna is gone. Basically because I cannot stop making fun of her face. And when she says OH MY GOD, she sounds like what I imagine a harpy would. The rest of the girls are equal parts boring and pathetic, so I don't really care who wins. That's Tali below, sharing the frame with Luke and his super boobs.




Also, so this post isn't a total waste, here's some new owls, and a tiki named Big Tom, which is up in the store.
