ANNETTE FUNICELLO’S BEACH PARTY

TELL FACEBOOK EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO!

And if it’s really nice out and I have someone to walk our dog, I could well be out on other weekdays, too…

dear internet.
as you are a robot, too, i’m sure you’ll understand my recent reticence to brave so much predicted rain. this weekend, i say “predictions be damned.” let our circuits be fried together!
barring downpours and inevitable electrocutions:
i will be selling in nyc’s union square friday june 26 and saturday june 27,
with an outside chance of sunday.

and belated apologies for not telling you my hours for the previous two weeks, internet. luckily, you are a forgiving robot. we have so much in common.

hi internet,
how’s stuff?
good, good.
anyways, the good news is that i’m definitely including three never-before-seen sock puppet portraits at the small exhibition in the lobby of The Tank (opening reception tonight at 6:30!).

the bad news is that i won’t be out selling puppety pitures in nyc’s union square this weekend(weekend of the 15th). it is my friend tobias’s birthdae, and he insists that you only turn one once. consequently, if you need a puppet portrait fix, come to the opening tonight, cuz stuff will be for sale there, too.

merry various holidays.
lovemarty

woah!
check this out!
Time Out did another amazing post about the show opening yesterday.

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday, it was such an awesome opening! The new portraits are up at Sputnik through April 12, and they’ll have some for sale there the whole time.

Off to New jersey for monsterface rockin.

Hi internet.
Just a quick reminder that tonight is the opening for my show premiering the 9 new Puppet Portraits in Brooklyn. Come by and say “howdy”, look at puppet pictures, have a burger. As featured in TimeOut New York. They’ll be available for sale for the first time tonight, too. Huzzah!

In honor of this excitement, Sgt. Bullocks from the Series 2 Sock Puppet Portraits has released his song, “First Beating”. Check it out on the decrepit Myspace
at myspace.com/sgtbullocks.
Listen, become his friend, you know the drill.

Hi.

If you are carefully monitoring my progress, weather-permitting I’ll be out in Union Square selling puppety pictures for the first time in two months tomorrow, Saturday March 7.  I’ll also go out Sunday if the nice weather holds.

I’ll have a SNEAK PREVIEW of three of the Nine new Sock Puppet Portraits, who premiere next Thursday, March 12 at Brooklyn’s Sputnik.

Yay.

Greetings, friends, superhuman bears, illegitimate grocerymen,
I’m really excited to announce that the newest Sock Puppet Portraits, Series 2.5 are finished! They won’t be ready for online sales for a little while, but I’m thrilled to premiere them at my favorite local bar – Sputnik!

———-

This will be the first time I’ll have displayed my Sock Puppet Portraits since Series 1.5 premiered in Chicago in late 2007, and I’m so excited to show them at this amazing bar, club, and little art space that has become like a second-home to me (which isn’t a stretch, as I live doors down from it). This will be a rare occasion to see lots of the puppets displayed (and sold) at the “irrationally large” size of 8″x10″, as well.

Greetings Dear Friends of the Sock Puppet Arts,
Much action is about, and in the midst of the fray, my dear friend from the Series 2 Sock Puppet Portraits,
Henchley Von Gussington, has completed his Myspace profile and uploaded some of his…groundbreaking…compositions.
please check him out at:
myspace.com/henchleyvongussington

Henchley deeply wanted me to pass on a message himself –
“People and friends you are the feeling and the listening bell.
This is the SpiritHeartJourney in 3 of the movements. You feel it and the course moves from river to arrow. A blondness [ed. note: I really think he might mean "blindness" here, but I can never be sure] is another truth, the bear seeks the source factory and unites in the arms of the fly and the heart and the burger king. Please hear, listen. Listen for the bear, hear the burden, and unite.”

BWAHHHHHH!
