This guy was scooped up by a super lovely lady in New Mexico just a few short hours after I listed him! Crazy!
More plush are being added to the store daily, and I'm also making some awesome stuff for the shows coming up- PlushYou! and possibly the Handmade Brigade (fingers crossed.)
More videos via JJ, only this time with my plushies! Devin asked for some, and I made a ton of them way back when (you might have seen them in the JibJab Blog?) But here's the finished videos, all stop motion beautifulness!
I'll update with a crapton of plushies soon. Just need to take some pictures. Oh, and a hardy CONGRATULATIONS to all the newest Ringling grads! You guys need to post pictures of your shows for those of us who live too far away!
Concept for some plush people I'm working on. They're still being fleshed out.
And some new(ish) plush! I made tons more over the weekend, so I'll post those as soon as I get pictures of them. Lots of tasty things to eat (if they weren't made of felt) and some sweet random keychains. I am superbly busy with a possible double-show in June, so posts may not be as frequent, but I promise when they are, they'll be of ACTION MOM quality.
P.S. There's two more shorts I'm featured in coming out, in the same series: Action Dad and The Married Guy Action Figure. Don't worry, I make TONS of obnoxious faces in both.
BUT, since I never posted it, here's a birthday sendable I did the puppeteering for a few weeks back- I'm the big retarded cake going "bum bum bum" and Devin is the singing cupcake. I designed the message cards for the end, as well.
This is an eCard sendable video I acted in very recently at JibJab with my good friend and co-worker Devin as the art director/concept fellow. Justin did the awesome 80's backgrounds. Devin & I are supposed to look like 12-year-old-ish kids, but really just look like cracked out psychos. I think that's probably more believable anyway.
I'll post some drawings and other stuff I've been up to later, I promise. I've just been turbo busy.
So, great news this week. I won a silver ADDY at regionals. AND, I got into the 2009 PlushYou! show. I'm going to create one-of-a-kind 3 pieces for it while will be exhibited and also be for sale at the show, and then the show opens in Seattle, Washington October 9th! I'm going to fly up there for the opening, I cannot be more excited... unless they had a Disneyland up there. But they do not, so that's that.
If you've ever been there, feel free to tell me the awesome things to do. I've got the Space Needle, the first Starbucks, and the Woodland Park Zoo on my list so far, but it's big awesome city and I'd like to see lots while I'm there.
So... awesome news! Super Punch! plugged me a few days ago on their crazy awesome blog where they basically show off all the coolest stuff they find everyday. How totally friggin' awesome is that? I feel all special and stuff. Thanks!
Also, a new plush series I'm developing, inspired by the unemployed: Happy Sacks. Good Luck VooDoo Dolls.
You can pop a message in their pouch, or perhaps a small candy for luck. They are squishy and fun and coming to an etsy (my etsy, specifically) near you!
Oh, and my absolute adorable-ness also graced the most recent entry on the JibJab blog- I brought in eggs for dying purposes. Woot. Despite the shortness of the weekend, it's been pretty awesome!
So, lots of cool people have been posting lots of cool work, and I thought I'd join the wave of awesome. I'm back from my vacation in midwestland, so here's some sketchbook pages from my most recent moleskine "Truth." Usually the only times I get to draw these days are in diners with Justin, or at figure drawing on wednesdays. Alas. One of these days I will have all the time in the world to do whatever I want.
On a completely different but much more amusing note: I found you can buy 3 lady goats on Craigslist for $150.00. And to think my father laughed when I said I was going to purchase a goat instead of a lawnmower. Hello?! Waaay cheaper. On yeah, and there's also this. Love craigslist. <3
