Ben snapped a few photos of the action in the studio as we get ready for Renegade. I’m just finishing up some pocket calendars here. Two days left!

Come on over to peruse the work of hundreds of artists at the upcoming Renegade Craft Fair. Ben and I will be at booth #137. Ben is working on some new illustrations and I whipped up a batch of handmade books for the occasion. This is always a well-curated fair with many great handmade items to select from.

One week and counting! Renegade Craft Fair will descend upon downtown Los Angeles on the weekend of July  24 + 25. Ben and I are sharing booth #28. We can’t wait to see you there!

It’s Festival time! Ben and I are finishing up last minute preparations for this year’s Santa Monica Festival. We have new prints, drawings, paintings, books and other goods we can’t wait to share.

The festival is this Saturday May 8 (11 am – 6 pm) in Clover Park, Santa Monica, CA. The festival is free, kid-friendly, and focused on environmental sustainability. Ben and I will have our own tent in the “marketplace” area, displaying our art. For more information, check out the Santa Monica Festival website.

We had a great time at Renegade LA and met many wonderful people. THANK YOU to everyone who made it downtown to support indie artists! Here are a few photos of the booth that Ben and I shared:

We are hard at work prepping new displays! Will we be ready in time for the weekend? I hope so!

Ben and I are extremely excited to participate as vendors in the 1st annual Renegade Craft Fair, Los Angeles! And, of course, we are frantically preparing in the mean time. We have one more week to get everything ready. Whew. We would love to see you there, so feel free to stop by booth #208 and say hello! Check out this link for more information about Renegade and other details about the Craft Fair.

Coming up this Saturday, June 6, the Handmade Brigade Indie Craft Show will be up from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in Cerritos, CA. Ben and I will be there at our booth and we hope that you can make it too! For more information, visit www.theochandmadebrigade.com.

The Santa Monica Festival came and went, and Ben and I had a great time. We debuted a new way to present our prints, mounted to wood blocks. We also made a special effort to make as many of our products earth-friendly as possible. Our prints and block prints were all printed onto 100% post consumer recycled papers, the wood for the blocks came from sustainable sources, and most of the books were made from recycled materials.

Many of our friends made it out for the festival, and we had a fun time spending the beautiful day together. We also met up with a couple other great Etsy sellers, Ohma! and Tyler Bender Book Co.

Ben and I are busy, busy as we prepare for the upcoming festival on Saturday. I wanted to share a peek at one of the new projects that we are working on together. More to come!
