More stuff

I'm two for two on both Plush You and Stuffed!  I will once again be a part of an awesome plush show at Schmancy Toys in Seattle and I'll be in Stuffed Magazine for the second time this year.  I'm also trying to finish up another art show at Hooked on Colfax.  It looks like I will also have a feature in a new magazine that will be available in Denver and Boulder.  Busy, busy, busy.  Once I'm done being a one-man sweat shop for my show, I'm planning on working on developing more characters and fleshing out a story line for the Corpseweed Home for Monstrous Children.  I feel like this could make for a really cool book and maybe even a movie.  Gotta dream big, right?

I also want to start working on some new designs and techniques so that I have something that I feel is more "art" and less "craft."  I definitely see an improvement in the quality of my work from my initial line of zombie pillow heads up to now but I want to push myself even further.  I really admire the work of Jen Musatto (Them Dollz), Amanda Louise Spayd, and Catherine Zacchino (Junker Jane.)  I just don't want to do stuff that is too derivative of what they're doing.  It may just be a matter of finding a starting point and developing a more personal, unique style from there.  Anyway, things are going well so far and will hopefully continue.
