I’m happy to say that I will be a part of the Noise Pop Pop n Shop this year. It’s going to be held at the Verdi Club in San Francisco, on Saturday, February 27. Hope to see you there!

This is part of the excellent Noise Pop Festival, which probably now qualifies for the word “venerable.” So many great bands, new movies, and all sorts of fun. I’ve loved it every year I’ve lived in this town. This year, I’m most excited about !!!, Mark Kozelek, Paula Frazier, and the Magnetic Fields. And Atlas Sound. And, wow, Yoko Ono. I saw Yoko Ono in New York a really long time ago, and while I don’t consider myself a fan, exactly, she is an amazing performer.

This one was a custom order…

This one is pink and almost-gold, sparkly and fuzzy.

Here’s a giant pile, right before APE.

Achooooo!

I made these for my friend Pete.

This is the first octoscarf I made.

It’s crazy photo-post day! I realized I’d been posting pictures mostly to the dorklandia facebook page, and decided to post a bunch here, too.

I’m now a licensed San Francisco Street Artist, for what it’s worth. Once it stops being rainy and nasty every day, you may well find me hanging out on the street with a bunch of new stuffed animals. I’ll post my location on the days I make it out there.

2009 was a really full year! Sunbrothers, Maker Faire, Indie-Mart(s), Renegade Craft Fair(s), APE, Mission Bazaar, Gifty, and Noise Pop, not to mention the Lanesplitters show and that little 40-foot aluminum rocket ship. Pretty fancy! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hi and helped me populate the West Coast with octopi and ice creams. I’m looking forward to seeing you all in 2010, very much.

I do believe we’re in the future!
