We've arrived!

We (me + husband + cat + monsters) have arrived in California. The monsters took a later (slower) flight than we did. So they just arrived this week.

The etsy store is back up and running. So monsters are again available. I don't have a lot of shirts right now. They're still in storage until we're a bit more settled in. I imagine that will be sometime next month.

I'm working on a few projects for monsters, but mostly my husband and I are working on starting a Dessert Truck here in San Francisco. You can follow us on twitter (we're testing recipes right now) @DessertLabs.


We're also trying to enjoy being in California. It's still practically summer here and we're taking advantage of all the trails and beautiful scenery that we've been missing for the four and half years we were in New York.

Goodbye Brooklyn

Goodbye Brooklyn!

Hello San Francisco!

Store is currently closed. It will re-open on Sept 28th. See you all then!

Psst... The box of monsters from New York is due to arrive on Sept 28th. Sorry for the delay! I am responding to conversations on etsy, if you need to reach me.

Sale Ends Tomorrow!

Have you been thinking of buying something in my sale section? Maybe a mystery pack of pins or a grab bag t-shirt? You still have 2 days left to do it.


Tomorrow evening I'll be shutting the shop down for the move. The Etsy Shop will be closed from Sept 17th thru Sept 24th. Feel free to sign up for the RSS feed so you know when the shop opens again, or just keep your eye on this space.

Last chance to get monsters in New York. Next stop, California!

Dave, Squishie Monster Goes Sightseeing

While we (the monsters and I) were in San Francisco for Renegade, Dave took the chance to go sightseeing. The rest of the monsters were too tired after the big show.

Dave expected the beach to be a bit sunnier.

The scenic drive up Route 1 towards San Francisco.

At the Golden Gate bridge. Dave says this should have the caption "Hi Mom!"

Here he messed up the focus a bit. But in the background you can see downtown San Francisco in the fog.

See a few more photos of Dave at the Flickr Group of Monster Photos! Psst... Feel free to add your own.

Home again jiggity jig

Back to the craziness of New York. I got a little side-tracked upon getting home, but back to business I say!

So here are a few photos from Renegade. Unfortunately I forgot to charge the batteries to my camera so had to borrow my boothmate's camera. So there are only a few photos. (More on flickr!)

The Day After Renegade

Renegade was amazing! I had such a good trip that even with travel expenses I feel like the trip was totally worth it.


I'll post photos (my camera batteries were dead, oops forgot to charge them) that my boothmate took once I get back to New York.


But I just wanted to say Thanks to a few people that really made my weekend worthwhile.


Thanks to everyone that gushed at the monsters. (I'm constantly amazed at how more open people are outside of NYC). I loved meeting all of you. It's great to make people laugh and smile and it makes me smile too.


Thanks to my boothmate, Lisa of Prism Pop and P*Charming. It was great fun and I really appreciated sharing with you.

We had excellent neighbors, Ana Apple and Matt Cipov who were both great company.

Also I know both Cris from Skeletal Dropkick and Rick from Seattle Show Posters on the internet, but met them for the first time this weekend. It was so great to meet you both in person!

So on my last day here in California I think I'll go to the beach. Beaches here are so much more dramatic than the east coast. And consequently I'm much more in love with California beaches, but maybe it's just what I'm used to.

Renegade San Francisco July 18th & 19th

This is my last blog post before I head for beautiful California.

This weekend you can find me here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn selling Saturday at the Greenmarket on 95th Street & 3rd Ave and then on the sidewalk Sunday on 3rd Ave & 87th Street.

Monday is reserved solely for packing and running around remembering last minute things. I get on a plane really early Tuesday morning and fly to SFO.

I just have two things to tell you all.

1. At Renegade, I'm in Booth #103, which is about half way down the middle aisle on the right hand side as you come in the front door.

2. I'm currently scheduling appointments to meet with stores interested in selling my monsters. Want to get in on that? Let me know!

I guess I have a few more things.

My etsy shop will remain open while I'm gone and I'll be shipping from California. And I'll be posting on twitter about what I'm doing and where I'm going to be. I will have internet access, but I won't be checking email religiously like I normally do.

So don't destroy New York while I'm gone. I'll be back June 22nd.

Renegade x2

I am so happy to announce that I'll be at Renegade in San Francisco sharing a booth with Lisa Toff.

I don't know if this lets the cat out of the bag, but my husband and I are planning on moving to California in the fall, so this will be a good way for me to get my feet wet in the Bay Area before we move.

My hopes with this trip:
Meet lots of awesome people
Learn about shows & the market in the SF Bay Area
See my family
Check out some stores for potential wholesale orders
Sell lots of monsters!

If you're a store in the Bay Area, I'll be in town a little early, I'd be most happy to meet with you and show you some samples of monsters, prints, etc. Please email me to set up an appointment and get info about wholesale prices!
