Sock Puppet Portraits Further FACTS and FAQ
>So far there are 45 Official Sock Puppet Portraits, broken up into five series’, each consisting of nine characters:
SERIES 1 | SERIES 1.5 | SERIES 2 | SERIES 2.5 | SERIES 3 |
>The Series 1.5 Sock Puppet Portraits were created specifically for Chicago’s Art Source gallery’s late 2007 exhibition, ‘Under 5 Feet,’ originally printed and sold at 11″x14″. Further separating these kids from their earlier peers, the Series 1.5 puppets were the first to have conceptually-related ‘family’ myspace profiles, as they were each built as trios.
>Again, each puppet portrait has a name, a personality, a bevy of social disorders, their own credit debt, most have their own myspace profiles, many perform with Marty and several other humans in the nationally-touring sock puppet and human multimedia rock and roll sensation, Uncle Monsterface, and the nine newest are set to star in a Youtube-based Sock Puppet Soap Opera, Sock Puppet Manor. Now on FACEBOOK, too, join the ever-growing ranks of the Sock Puppet Portrait Appreciation Society today!
>Each small portrait comes with a little wire stand for display. Insert it into the corresponding little holes on the back of your piece, with the wire angling upward. Viola! To hang, I recommend VELCRO!
>All puppety pictures are printed on high quality photo paper with an Epson 2200 printer. They look nice.
>Right now I only sell the small 2″ x 3″ pieces via the internet, larger pieces can be found on the street, or you can write to me for special requests
>While I am happy to ship internationally, please Paypal me an extra $5 for orders of up to 5 puppet portraits, one dollar per additional portrait. Magic costs money!
