Hope to see you at one or both!

Would you drink a soda…

Well, would you? Would you drink a soda made of soda water and orange and dill? What about kumquats and human brains? Fettucine and nutmeg?

Explore your deep-seated feelings about sodas, learn about and create exciting new flavors, and discuss which ones you would be willing to drink.

Each page is a hand-crafted masterpiece of soda art - alternating between original paper cutouts and watercolor paintings of craft-brewed imaginary sodas.

Hey guys, I just want to direct you to a couple of links. Get it…? direct…? because I am a director!?!?! Oh me oh my, how hilarious. But now for those links:

1. The homepage for my upcoming poem/movie tour. I’ll be traveling with poets Noah Gershman and Jacqueline Suskin throughout the Pacific Northwest starting on October 17. They’ll be reading poems and showing slideshows and I’ll be screening Gold Diggers of 1829. Find out more by clicking on this giant link paragraph!

2. I decided to make a better store page because I am a professional and/or because tumblr is a pretty horrible format for a store. So head over to my new bigcartel page, where you can buy all sorts of stuff from me. Ok, right now there are only zines, but soon I will have a poster and a dvd available as well. In the meantime, buy some zines! There are three different ones to choose from, so I recommend choosing one of each.

Hey guys! I have a table at San Francisco Zinefest this year. I will be sharing it with my friend Jennie Yim, and we’re gonna have so much fun! I’ll have my crossword zines, Pillow Pals membership packets, Paxinosa Easton’s autobiography, and more. Pillow and Pillow might even make a special guest appearance at our table.

It’s next weekend in Golden Gate Park, so do stop by if you’re in the Bay Area and/or send all of your friends!

Gold Diggers of 1829 is finished! Here are some stills for your enjoyment.

I’m currently looking for places to screen it throughout the universe, so please let me know if you have any suggestions, and reblog if you think you might have followers who would have suggestions. It’s 25 minutes long, digital video, with lots of songs and lots of silent-ish parts. I’m really interested in going on a movie tour, but that will take some investigation before it becomes a reality. More updates to follow shortly.
