Plushies up at Munky King!

They just added a bunch of new guys to the shop, so check 'em outttttt.

Munky King & PlushYou!LA

So, PlushYou!LA was a big hit! Justin & I went to the opening last Thursday at Munky King, which is a super cool little gallery down on Melrose. I was one of only 65 artists from around the world that was chosen for the show. It was super awesome to be able to be apart of a show in town that celebrates plush.


Here's an article about the show. You can see my dudes at the bottom there in the gallery slideshow.

If you were interested in seeing what is still up for grabs, you can check out Munky King's gallery/shop right here. There's a lot of variety, so check it out!

In other news, Justin and I are off to Washington, DC tonight for the Labor Day weekend. We'll be visiting lots of museums, monuments, and memorials, gettin' our history on. Hope everyone else has a wonderful extended weekend, and I'll post pictures soon of our adventures!

P.S. Tiki Con was great, I sold some miniature tiki guys. I also have some available in my store.

tikis and plushyouLA

So, I'm super busy the rest of this month! I have a tiki show in San Diego with the talented Mr. Parpan the weekend of the 21st, and my group show at Munky King for PlushYou!LA opens August 26th, 7-10pm! It runs through most of September, so no worries if you miss it.

The tikis below are some sketches for pins and hairclips for the tiki show. The bottom sketch is of my frankencreatures I'm making for the PlushYou! show. They'll both be on sale, and I'll post pictures of them when they're in a better state of completeness.

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!

tons o' plush + la jolla

Justin took me to see the La Jolla (where Dr. Suess lived) seals on Mother's Day. I nearly died from cute overload. I'll post the rest of the photos (there are many) on my FB page. Someday soon. Hopefully.


YETI! One of my creatures-in-the-making for the PlushYou! show in Seattle.




And a bunch of the plushies I've been working on for the Handmade Brigade show in TWO WEEKS (omfg). I've gotten a lot done, more than I thought I would, so I'm in excellent shape for the show. But after that is Comic-Con, and before THAT, I need to send off my plushies for PlushYou! Whew. It's gonna be a busy (but super awesome) summer.
