I’m coming to Los Angeles for Unique Markets!

Hey folks, I’m on my way to Los Angeles this weekend for the 15th annual Spring Unique Markets! This is a BIG 2 day market in downtown LA featuring local artisans selling art, jewelry, pottery, clothes, plants, and more. I’ll have books, prints, stickers, etc there. Bring you and your family to the event to shop local or just say hi. I hope to see you there. More info here.

You can visit Unique Markets on Instagram to see some photos and videos from the event.

Here’s an interview with the founder of the markets…

Here are some fotos from the market over the years to get an idea of the vibe.

Seattle “Renegade Craft Fair” -April 20-21

If you live in or around the Seattle area please come see me at the Seattle Renegade Craft Fair. I’ll be at booth #124 inside the Hangar 30 at Magnuson Park (see map below). I’ve been to Seattle before to do the Seattle Urban Book Expo in 2022. This will be my first time doing the Renegade Craft Fair. I will have at least 7 of my kids books, plus art prints, and some stickers.

This crew have been doing large vendor focused events for more than 15 years I believe. I was unable to find a good video but visit the website for MORE INFO

Booth SET UP from Craneway Craft Fair

Throwback to my table set up at the Craneway Craft Fair in Richmond California last November. The organizers did a great job getting the space ready and getting in and out was seamless. I did pretty well too.

Here’s a photo of me working taken by Craneway’s Clara Rice.

This was a really cool moment. Michael Perry who wrote Turntable Timmy and Daniel’s Ride gave me some much neeeded encouragement over a decade ago when I was just starting out. It was so crazy to run into him at this event! See original post.

I’m a vendor at San Jose Made 2022

 

Hey, if you’re in the South Bay, Central California, or the Bay Area please come to the 2022 San Jose Made Holiday Fair. This will be my third year either attending and/or vending at the event and I invite you to come shop, meet artists, eat, hang out, and play. There will be over 400 vendors selling clothing, art, household items, toys, pottery, sculpture, books, and more. They even had a photo booth and free gifts for the first 500 attendees each day. I’ll be there at booth G20 selling kids books, art prints, stickers, and more. 
San Jose Made is a crew of artists and entrepreneurs who support small businesses and local artists through yearly fairs, markets, pop ups, and storefront events in the San Jose and Santa Clara area.  Please visit their website and follow them on Instagram.
