Cloff G. Hoffernoff and DC

First, some photos from our trip. The rest are going on facebook or perhaps into the ether, as they didn't turn out very stunning. Lots of pictures of us looking tired. However, the city is wonderful, very clean, easy to navigate, lots to do, highly recommended.





Now, my new friend Cloff G. Hoffernoff. He's a good 2 and a half feet tall, took me, oh, a solid 2 weeks to finish him up. I'm going to start moving in this direction, this weird absurdist direction, for my new plushies. Big and beautiful and weird. Trying to put more personality into the faces, you know how that can be.

uniqueLA this weekend

And yours truly will be there selling sweet plushies to all the lovely holiday shoppers! If you're in the LA area, and still need to pick up some sweet stuff for people on your holiday list, come check out uniqueLA downtown!

I'll be at Booth 4014, near some delicious fud vendors, so come see me! I'm sharing with Senor Parpan, so Goblin-Fish Press prints, books, etc will also be in the near vicinity!

I'll have owls, super limited mini owls (ooohhh aahhhh), felt food, custom dolls, and even a Deer Girl or two! Fun should be had by all!

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!

Some fruits, a pic I'm rather fond of taken at Vista Point near Palm Springs, and a reminder to come see me at the Handmade Brigade this Saturday! 10Am-4PM! Cerritos, CA! I can promise lots of fun, lots of sunshine, and lots of plush!

We also have these. If there's any left, I'll put a set or two up in the store!:

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.

rather squid-like in appearance...

It's a three foot tall giant red squid. And my disaster of a studio. Yeeeeah. I'm making lots of cool stuff, including this fella, for the Handmade Brigade on June 6th. This alone should tempt you to come out and see, right? I'll take a better photo later- this one is just using my computer/photobooth.

Oh yeah, and JibJab just released our graduation content. I'm rather proud of this one, even though it's simple. And castable.
