spoonmelove is LAUNCHED!

As you saw on our sneak peek on Monday, I've been working on this project spoonmeloveme with Bryn. After a year of back and forth, talking, discussing, designing, and printing, we are finally ready to launch. And here it is...

This project started out as an IM conversation between Bryn and I after a tumultuous day in New York. If you have a relationship with New York, you know that we have our ups and downs with it and sometimes you love it and sometimes you hate it but you always want it to love you.

This is our love note to Brooklyn and New York through posters and totes. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have in creating it. We plan to work on more cities, so keep your eye out.

Find our store at spoonmeloveme where we're only allotting a couple of items to be sold, we're fully launching our sales on Sunday at the Bust Craftacular at special prices. So see you then!

working the midnight oil

Lately, I've been working the midnight oil on many new projects. Particularly those for the upcoming Bust Craftacular on Sunday, Dec. 6th at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Here is a sneak peek at something me and Bryn Smith have been working on since forever ago. It has finally come to fruition, almost...

Here's some process shots:

Everything will fully launch later this week with special pricing at the craft fair. STAY TUNED!

I'm baked...

After baking all day (and through the night) on Saturday and then spending all day at the Craftacular on Sunday, I'm baked. More like, I'm pooped. Pics from the day.
Thanks to everyone that stopped by.

Baking the day before. Granola in this bowl



Chocolate Chip Cookies Galore!



Our table, it's a bit blurry. Sorry.





Souther's mom's Granola recipe. Everyone loved it.

Get your sweet tooth on!

When I was a kid, my friends and I would stand outside of my apartment building and set up a booth and sell random toys, drawings, orphaned crayons to the people walking by. Most of the time the customer was the same person, a sweet, old man who lived a couple buildings down from us. I remember that he would stop by after eating at "The Pied Piper" and always buy a crayon or a drawing.
Well I'm going to try to relive those days, but this time hopefully we'll have more than the same customer. This time it'll be at the BUST Spring Craftacular. My friend and I are having a bake sale! I love to bake and I only wish I could incorporate baking into my art somehow, but alas no. So I'll set up a booth and have a bake sale instead. If you're in Brooklyn on Sunday, April 27th between 11am-9pm please stop by the Warsaw
