sellin today…

Moving slow after two days of excitement, but I’m going for three and am on my way out the door to see about a day of selling (today is Saturday) in Union Square even though I can’t find my book OR hat. It’s the first day I’ll have all nine of the new guys for sale out in the square…

Thanks again to everyone who came out to Thursday’s opening! It was so awesome!

art show (in the news), a song about fighting

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.

Announcing the Sock Puppet Portrait Appreciation Society on Facebook

hi.
I finally gave the sock puppet portraits a place to be appreciated on facebook!
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=65776742227

I felt like now was appropriate timing, in honor of the Nine new SERIES 2.5 puppets premiering on March 12 in Broklyn(see below).

I anticipate still giving Series 2.5 and any other forthcoming Series’ their own individual Myspace profiles, but I thought it would be keen to give them a place on the increasingly dominant Facebook, as well, but to make it something a little different.

Join up!
