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.

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.

Finn, Rico, and Freddy

Rico, Freddy, and Finn, three tiki dudes on a mission to be Awesome. Developed these over the last few weeks. Probably going to do a big version (these are about 8 inches tall) for PlushYou! LA at Munky King in October. Should be super colorful and possibly, quite rad. Who knows?

Since I magically lost both my HD memory card AND reader for my rebel, you're stuck with shitty photobooth pics from my Mac. Sorry.





In other newst, I've been sketching and collaging in multiple sketchbooks. I'll post that stuff soonishly, too, if I don't get too busy. And by busy, I mean forget completely. Also, I'm working on a HALLOWEEN COSTUME IN JULY (because I'm crazy) and this year I'm going as Velma Dinkley, from Scooby-Doo.


I've always had a soft spot for Velma, because she's basically the secretly sexy nerd girl we all want to be, AMIRITE? Plus she's one of the few characters in the history of animation that is, ahem, short and wears glasses (otherwise she is practically blind), JUST LIKE ME. Maureen is going as Daphne Blake, so if anyone wants to complete our set (Freddy? Shaggy? Maybe even a makeshift Scoobert?) feel free. We're gonna nerd it up.
