Nicole J. Georges is cool-See her in NYC tomorrow night!

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Nicole's first volume of Invincible Summer while I was at Gosh! in London. I loved the drawings, so I got it. The writing was just as fun and interesting and I spent a handful of nights staying up to long reading and admiring how she drew black hair with shine spots in it. Now Nicole has volume 2 coming out! Hooray! She will be coming to NYC tomorrow night (10 pm at St. Marks Poetry Project). Oh, how I had planned on being there to get my copy of I.S. #2, but gettting selected for the Crammed Organisms show means I may be making kitties on Friday night instead of heading to the city. If there had to be a reason not to go, at least it's a positive one. I am still excited about living in my new city, knowing people I like actually come to this area. Yeah for NY! You should go though. Really, it'll be fun.

TKP will rock the Crammed Organisms show!

Well TKP friends, in addition to being world-wide, the TKP will be showing St. Louis, Missouri (North America) just how cool plush can be when some special edition Travel Kitties make their way to the worlds largest plush show! YEAH! I was so excited to get the news today. Head over to the Crammed Organisms site and look at the other artists who were selected for the show!

TURN TO CLEAR VISION

  I took this picture on my first trip to the beach this season. It was still chilly, but I do believe it cleared my vision. Seeing the ocean is still unexplainable and beautiful to me. I love it every time.    

 

Travel Kitty Hats!

The fun never stops with the Travel Kitties. I made a bunch of these little kitty hats today. Check them out at my etsy shop.

Happy Spring!

TK Poog Forest Today I made a bunch of these Travel Kitty lino prints and sewed them into little plushies. They were so cute I took them out for a spring time photo shoot. Now they're mega-cute!On a side note... A laundrymat in my town has a sign outside that says "Super Mega Jumbo Washers!" My guess is they are pretty freaking big.

Makin' Zines

Makin' Zines I spent a little time collating a bunch of zine copies today. Nothing fancy, just getting it done in my wee boy's yellow chair with all my words of wisdom spread out on my garage sale couch. Can't beat it!

I utility piece of work for me

 

I used to have a bunch of needles all poked into a piece of paper and then put in a plastic baggie. It was messy and drove me crazy. You may be asking, why not a pin cusion? Well my deranged kitty likes to bite all the pins and needles and pull them out and leave them all over the floor. This is not safe for a kitty...(or anyone else right?!) so I started putting them in the secret hiding plastic baggie. It was ugly and we shouldn't live with ugly if cute is only takes 50 cents of felt! I made this little book to have a some cute for my needles...they deserve it. It has made me happy, and all my needles are always ready to go for some crazy sewing!

A movie to see this weekend

I saw this movie a few weeks ago, but I really thought it was good...and artsy, so this seemed like a good place to share it. I also enjoy the word busker, so it was really a winner all the way around for me.

Here's a wikipedia link if you want to know more or check out the music from the film.

German Interview Translated

I got the translation of the German interview I did last week.  I posted it over at the Travel Kitty Project site if you want to read it.

TKP Interview with German Newspaper

Here's the interview I did with the great Heike Unger from the Amberger Zeitung in Amberg, Germany. You can click on the article and head over to Flickr to see a larger size and read it if you know German. That's me and my wee little boy in the middle. Now you know who made that cool little kitty of yours. Oh, and the boy, he's hugged every one of those kitties before they left, so I figured he needed to get some credit too. Pretty neat! Thanks Heike!
