Summer crafts part two.

My lack of blogging lately isn't because I have nothing to share. If anything, it's because I've been too busy working on new things to have time to share it. Soon, friends. New work will be revealed soon.

In the meantime, come out this weekend to McCarren Park in Brooklyn for the Renegade Craft Fair. I'll be at booth 153, come rain or shine, or some lethal combination of the two. Weather aside, it's really going to be a wonderful show, full of talented folk and crafted goodies to purchase. It's also my first time at Renegade, and I couldn't be more excited!

Neighborhood love.

It's official! Joi, Alison, and I will be sharing a booth at this summer's Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn. This is my first time at Renegade, and I can't wait. I'm already planning new ways to make my corner of the table look eye-searingly wonderful, and I have a slew of new prints I'm planning, including this one:



If you're not familiar with the area, that would be Brooklyn's northern tip Greenpoint, also known as my home sweet home. If you do know the neighborhood, see how many buildings and businesses you can name. I tried to include as much as I could, but if you think I left out something essential, leave me a comment.

I'll have more info about the event and what I'll be selling as it draws closer. Hope to see you there!

Hello, Renegade.

Dear Brooklyn Renegade,



Hello. This is us. From left to right we have Joi of Stereoette, Michele of Dial M for Michele, and Alison of King Popcorn.

Michele Rosenthal—Dial M for Michele
An illustrator and graphic designer by trade, Michele has a love affair with all things retro, colorful, and graphic. She turns this love into a variety of vibrant prints, postcards, stickers, etc. Items range from $1 to $40, with most items between $6 and $20. This would be her first time at Renegade but not her first craft fair, and she can't wait to take part!



Alison Shanik—King Popcorn
Alison creates hand-embroidered cards and wall pieces that are meant to be absurdly decadent keepsakes. Most of her cards range from $2-$10. She has been a Renegade Brooklyn vendor since 2008, and is looking forward to returning in 2011!



Joi Lakes—Stereoette
Stereoette is a line of vibrant colored comic book-inspired jewelry with fused glass, acrylic, and etched metals. This year also introduces Stereoette Home—a line of spirited housewares for those with her taste in splashy-colored cartoon goodies! Jewelry ranges from $10-$50, and housewares range from $20-$100. Joi has been a vendor at Renegade Brooklyn since 2007, and is excited at the chance to return!
