hello internet.
My schedule for being out and about selling puppety pictures in NYC’s Union Square has been inconsistent at best. I was out a bit this weekend, I hope to at least be able to count on this coming Saturday, April 18, weather permitting.

Of much cooler note?
Dear Boston,
There is a totally cool little comic book shop in Somerville’s Union Square where you can buy a few of my Sock Puppet Portraits! It’s Hub Comics, the “comic store for NPR listeners”, AND fans of sock puppets and their portraits (and their associated rock band). We are taking over ALL of the Union Squares!

For serious, Team, go check out and support this awesome little store – coolest staff on the planet and best selection in the city, Hub Comics rules the school and all of its associated pools.

yay.

Hi.
I just added a few semi “recent” posters to the Graphic Design portion of ye Olde web site here:
Or else click that tab up there…
“Recent” really is relative, and the demarcation of dates never ceases to illustrate to me with ever-increasing clarity the alarming rate at which the velocity of life increases.

Also, I’m on The Twitter.
So, for that matter, is Uncle Monsterface (on the Twitter, that is).

We firmly avow that we don’t know what the hell Twitter is, but we’re on it, that’s for sure.

Hey! Check this out!
If my package arrived in time, my art is in this cool exhibition in London!
Go if you’re…you know…in London!

Vyner Street’s Art Hunt
April 2, 2009
6pm – 10.30pm
Location, Vyner Street, Bethnal Green, London, E2

As part of Timeout’s First Thursday explore East London’s dynamic art scene in an exhilirating new way. Leading you beyond the maze of contemporary galleries, the Vyner Street Art Hunt takes you out onto the cobbled streets where art will be hung, drawn and hidden. Weave, stumble, stoop and squeeze through the outdoor nooks, crannies, and back alleys. Discover Marty Allen—artist and frontman for multimedia band Uncle Monterface who will be exhibiting Nutty Bunny and other sock-puppet characters. Continue reading ‘Puppet Portraits in London!’

…weekend-centric.
THIS weekend, I’ll try to be out in NYC’s Union Square selling on Saturday and Sunday, though I’m not certain due to a variety of extenuating circumstances.

Collective sock puppety fingers crossed!
