Another Holiday Craftacular

For the second year in a row, I'm going to be selling prints at the Bust Magazine Craftacular and Food Fair tomorrow, December 11th. It's from 11 am to 7 pm in Soho (82 Mercer St, NYC to be precise) and it's only $3 to come have a look around. There are always so many talented crafters and foodmakers there. If you need to do some holiday shopping, or if you need to do some shopping for yourself, or if you just want to say hello, I do hope you'll stop by! I'll be sharing my table with the lovely new stationery outfit French Braid Paper.

Hey look, here's a handy map so you can find us:

Summer crafts part one.

If you're in a spending mood, then you're in luck. Four new prints are available in my store, including a retro technology robot and a portrait of my lovely neighborhood.

And if you prefer buying your artwork in person, I'll be selling at the Bust Magazine Craftacular and Food Fair this Saturday. It's the perfect opportunity to buy some beautiful crafts while eating some delectable foods. It's at 82 Mercer Street from 11 am to 8 pm, so please stop by my booth and say hello!

Visit me at the Craftacular today!

This post is just a quick reminder that I'm going to be at the Bust Holiday Craftacular today, vending my wares. It's at the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 W. 18th Street, between 6th and 7th Ave. It will be running from 10 am to 8 pm, and it's only $2 to get it. So if you're brave enough go out in this horrid rain, please stop by and say hello! I'll be on the second floor at booth 50 with the wonderful Stereoette.

I can't go for that.

In my last post, I mentioned a brand new product in the works that I'll be selling at the Bust Holiday Craftacular this year. I know you've been on the edge of your seat, so here it is:



UPDATE: This item is no longer available for sale. Sorry!

Pin the Mustache on Hall and Oates. You heard me. This will be an actual game that you can play, and it will include everything from hairy magnetic mustaches to a "private eyes" blindfold. Basically, I saw a gap in the market for 80s pop culture party games, and I filled it. They're not completed yet, but they're in the works, and I cannot wait to show them off at the Craftacular!

By the way, the patterns and monograms I designed for dabney lee AT HOME are now available on their website. It's not too late to order some custom trays and notepads. Just keep in mind that Monday is the deadline to have it ship in time for Christmas.

(Oh, and in case you were wondering, I failed to write a novel during the month of November. Next year, next year.)

Holiday crafting and literary classics.

Let's start with some good news: I've been accepted as a vendor at the 2010 Bust Holiday Craftacular, which will be held at the Metropolitan Pavilion on December 12th. Hurrah! I'll be sharing a booth with Stereoette, and you should definitely stop by for some crafty holiday shopping. I'm adding something exciting and new to my wares; I'll post it within the next week or so.

In the meantime, here is another Criterion Affection update, this time for the 1963 adaptation of LORD OF THE FLIES.



There was so much good imagery to choose from that I had a hard time narrowing it down to the pig head and the broken glasses. (The conch, I'm afraid, didn't make the cut.) The color scheme came together pretty easily this time around. From the start I wanted it to have a limited color 1950s children's book feel, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Does the pig seem creepy enough to you? Because it definitely was in the film.
