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.

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.

rafting + self-portrait

Took this on my iPhone, so thats why there's funny colors.


Also, went rafting with a bunch of cool cats last weekend up in Kernville/Bakersfield. If you ever get the chance to go white-rafting, don't think- just do! It's killer fun. Also, put sunscreen on your knees. Trust me, you'll thank me later when you're still able to WALK.

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!
