Pulp Sushi
My friend Marilyn has been making awesome jewelry for years under the name Pulp Sushi. And now she has broadened her brand to include more handmade artisans featuring, in her words, a "pop-nostalgic collective sideshow of handmade goods and accessories". And I'm excited to announce that several molly shoelace items are included in her online store!

Smile Anyone?
Check out the latest edition of Sadie Magazine loaded with cool articles and interviews, including one about jd samson of MEN. i went to a free show at ooga booga in chinatown (which was in my own neighborhood--talk about convenient) a few months back and they were great. jd knows how to dance and put on a good show. but (and more importantly) there's an illustration by me accompanying an article that focuses on 'the smile'. click {here}and i'd also like to mention that a good friend of mine started a blog called bad mantality. she happened to write a related post about women and smiling {here}.
so, read sadie magazine and bad mantality and you will be set for a while.
drawing (from) the past
these old family photos served as the inspiration for a bunch of drawings. thought it would be neat to juxtapose the two.from top to bottom:
"pat"
"margaret"
"lito"
"bubblegum"
sketchbook viewing!

I think it gets better (looser) toward the middle/end.
Smart, Witty, & Whimsical Paper Goods
Check out {this} question/answer type interview that I am featured in on the Heart Handmade Blog. You can learn all about how I got started as a stationer. Plus other obscure facts about me :)
New Art Prints
Over the past month, I've been super busy putting lots of new stuff in my shop--and new photos. Definitely check it out {here} And most recently, I have added some prints from my sketchbook that is on tour with the Sketchbook Project and will eventually be on permanent view at the Brooklyn Art Library in Williamsburg. Super exciting. I only hope I can make it to one of the cities on the tour so I can "check out" my own book.
I'm trying to expand the 'art' section of my shop since I see so many successful sellers on etsy who seem to solely sell their art. This is highly admirable. I always thought I would have to put my art on something (ie, a card) in order for it to sell, but I'm starting to wonder if I can be successful if I shift my focus a bit. We'll see.
So, to the left we have "noise is music is noise" and "mid-century housewife". Just $10 each.
