rare pix at show, no sales in nyc this weekend

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.

Sock Puppet Portraits move to the Tank in Manhattan! Reception this Thursday!

Hello Citizens of Sock Puppet Interest (both general and specific),

Two sock puppet-related events are hurtling towards Manhattan in a sleigh driven by burly, forsaken, and untimely elves…
FIRSTLY:
Did you miss the display of Marty’s newest Sock Puppet Portraits at Brooklyn’s Sputnik? Do you need to see it more? The show is moving to Manhattan! (cue “Movin’ on Up”).

The Tank
354 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036

Opening Reception: May 14 at 6:30pm

Come for the Opening reception and stick around for the Tank’s amazing Puppet Series, Puppet Playhouse (or just hang out and have some beers, you don’t have to go to Puppet Playhouse). If you do go to Puppet Playhouse, you should know that Marty doesn’t have any work in it. But you should also know that it’s awesome – puppeteers interpreting modern musicians, this month featuring the Magnetic Fields.

THIS show at the Tank foreshadows ANOTHER SHOW AT THE TANK…
A SOCK PUPPET (and human) ROCK SHOW!
Uncle Monsterface PREMIERES the theatrical debut of their song
MASHED POTATO vs VAMPIRE!
at THE TANK
June 6, 2009 at 7pm!

not out this weekend…

dear internet,
i will not be selling my extremely practical sock puppet portraits in nyc’s union square this weekend. i’m terribly terribly sorry. it is due to birthdays. and rain.

and you know what else, internet?
i love you.
