“Marty’s Sock Puppet Portraits” are framed photographs of original sock puppets that artist Marty Allen creates, each with a name and elaborate life, much of which is lived on on the internet (of all places).
Due to the magically inconsistent nature of this year’s frame styles, all online sales are currently handled via my Etsy site at http://www.etsy.com/shop/martystuff
Learn more below – they have names, stories, Olde School Myspace profiles (puppet-style), a Compulsory Facebook group, a Sock Puppet Rock Band, and a Soap Opera, Sock Puppet Manor (it has it’s own whole site!)!
Below is a sampling of the 51 characters who are often available. Again see the Etsy site, please, or feel free to e-mail sockpuppetportraits(at)martystuff(dot)com.
