Rocketships and APE and the Indie-Mart!

This is how I spent my summer vacation. There are so many many amazing things about this project! It's one of the coolest things I've ever done, and I got to meet and work with dozens of genuinely nifty people. As soon as I have my own pictures developed (yeah, I know), I will post them, but for now, get thee to a flickr search!

In other news, I am going to have a table at the Alternative Press Expo in October. It's a two-day show, and it should be very very cool indeed. Come look at comics and zines and ponder the wonderousness of the crazy octopus hats I'll have there. October 17th and 18th at the giant Concourse building on Brannan and 7th in San Francisco (right where My Bloody Valentine played last year, oooh). Admission is $10 for one day or $15 for both (or free if you went to Comic Con this year and still have your badge).

Had a fantastic time at the Indie-Mart in August, and actually sold out of octopi! I'll be at the Indie-Mart again on November 8th. This is a very fun outdoor show with a relaxed beery party atmosphere, and I like it a whole big bunch. More details as it gets closer!

Today was sortof a big day for me, as I finally got my California Seller's Permit. Now I'm real!

And that's all for now.

Wowee!

Well, it's been a bit of a whirlwind lately.
New and nifty job, Renegade Craft Fair, RGRocketeering, and we're moving on Saturday!
So, please to forgive the sparseness.
The Renegade Craft Fair was *excellent*. They let me bring my silly ice cream cart, and I had a great time, met all sorts of neat people, and saw a bunch of friends. I still have rather more ice cream kits than I'd planned on owning, but I'm alright with that.
Pix soon!

Soft blueberries


I found this yarn on Saturday, it's blue and aqua and watery and fuzzy. I think this one is pretty much exactly what I want the cute ones to look like. Now I just have to build a good monster...

mwahahahahahahahahahahaha...

The very best buttery marshmallow ghost ever


I do believe that every single attendee of Sunday's event picked up this guy and squeaked. He has a new home, now, too!

Pink ghostie

SK's zombie


This one went to the Indie Mart and found a new home!

Devil cat monster


(I really really want a better digital camera, that can handle red things without freaking all the way out.)

I am totally besmittened with this one. The body is about the same size as an apricot, cranky teeth, and horns-or-ears. I believe I will make this one again.

A new giant fuzzy one

Here's the latest big fuzzy one. Very soft, lots of tidepool colors.

Tuesday's coming

Here is the fruit of a little bit of homework procrastination. He'll be on sale at the Indie Mart, I'm sure. Fuzzy with little bits of green, somewhat bigger than a softball...

ghostie and hmmmm

Here's a pair of new guys, both using yarn I haven't used before. The peachy rusty one is made with Crystal Palace Puffin yarn, and the green-eyed cream one is made with this strange acrylic-alpaca-wool-nylon blend yarn I found.

Made for the upcoming Indie Mart, yay!
