Geez Louise!


Oh, man, I'm getting old. All I did was work. It's just printing t-shirts. And I'm weary. And ache-y.

I really wanted to get some plush-making in tonight, but it will be a Netflix + tall boy kind of evening. We are so running out of streaming movies that I can watch with the kids. Any ideas? I thought about starting the Lost series because everyone practically poops themselves over that show. On Sunday I will be making my second attempt at a plush creature for Rivet. So far it's plush = 1, Sharon = 0. I'm hoping I have some divine intervention. And enough extra fabric.

Wieners... Tawd is taking his restauranting experience one day at a time. Some days he's discouraged, some days he's optimistic. I wish I was magical. It is seriously some of the best food I've ever eaten. I'm hoping everyone else catches on.

Art... I am at a place where I just wish I was better. Or different. Or "more". My stuff has been boring me. I like making toys though. I want to do that after all these shows are finished.

Studio slash bedroom... This place if effing scary. Here, I'll take a picture...

Everyone is in here all the time. And it's standing room only. And there's no clear horizontal surface. And the dog is in here FARTING 24/7!

O.k., enough ranting. Movie. Then I need to finish my Terry Pratchett book. I love you guys.

Here's some credentials...
A blurb in Juxtapoz on-line. Nice!
A feature in Columbus Alive (with a small bit with yours truly). Sweet!

Days of Swine and Roses

O.k., you really just need to pick a week that you don't have much going on then just go have an infected cough on you with your mouth open. This whole thing's seriously a little like 28 Days Later or maybe I am Legend. With less zombies.

Day five. Still feel shitty, but less shitty than yesterday.

But I really want to go to my friend's birthday party. I just finished making this for her...

Get it? It's a Munny dressed up like a bunny.

I'll bug you more about it throughout the week, but PLEASE go to Por Vida! I will be celebrating my release from the plague-hold with much gusto!!! Come celebrate with me!!!

All this flu got me thinking of making some plague doctor masks... MAN, I love that image.

My Date With AFI


Simply magical. O.k., honestly it was a little awkward. What do you say to the objects of your fandom in five minutes in a tiny, cramped room? Yeah...

But we delivered our Pattycake offering (thank you, Pattycake!!! You RULE!!!), and they were grateful (sorry for the crappy pic of Nora handing Jade the package, my camera doesn't really do flash). We offered to treat them for lunch at the stand today too, but they will be on their way to Cincinnati. But they said that they totally knew about Rad Dog, so I was pretty stoked. Such nice boys.

The girls had a blast, and couldn't believe they actually got to meet the band. This was Nora's first Newport show, and she was pretty mesmerized the whole time. The people standing around us couldn't believe she knew most of the songs.

All-in-all, a pretty priceless evening, and I have Michelle, my boss, to thank for being the 10th caller. I owe you!

Vent Haven, please let me post pics...

I just went to the most amazing place on earth today. It pretty much ruled everything ever. It's called Vent Haven Museum, and it's the world's only museum dedicated to the art of ventriloquism. Over 500 dummies! It was like heaven. With dummies. I took some great pictures, but I need to ask permission to post them (they've had some not-so-nice people post write-ups before, and now they just want to make sure folks use the images for good instead of evil). So, what do ya say, Vent Haven? Please let me post 'em. I am now your biggest fan!!!
