Poppytalk Handmade is a monthly online street market curated by Poppytalk to showcase handmade art and goods of emerging design talent from around the world. It’s an amazing little site! It’s kind of like an indie marketplace with monthly “themes”, sort of like a virtual art fair/festival. This month’s theme is a Green/Eco Market that runs from March 10th - April 11th… and we’re featured!

We’re honored and excited to be part of such an amazingly talented group of creatives! You should definitely stop by and take a peek. It’s a great place to discover new and amazing work by emerging/indie designers and artists you probably aren’t familiar with. If you stop by you won’t be disappointed!

We jumped sides – SF to NY. As of January 1st, we’re located in Brooklyn, NY. San Francisco has been wonderful and we already miss it. We’d like to thank everyone in SF for their support over the past couple years… thank you. So I guess this is good bye San Francisco. On a good note, we’re optimistic and excited about what New York has in store for us. Hello New York!

Christmas time! You’re invited to a holiday show filled with local artists & designer’s. It should be a good one. Here you will find the rare discounted prices of DripStick artwork (up to 20% off!). The show only lasts for a few hours, so you won’t want to miss it. Along with DripStick will be many other things worth checking out.

A soon-to-be DripStick photographer and friend, Matthew Sumi, came to San Francisco to visit. While here he took a few pictures. Many of you have seen the DripStick team at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. These are pictures of us selling there. It’s always fun to meet the wonderful people who like & buy DripStick artwork. Enjoy the pics!

DripStick was one of many city wide artists that participated in Big Deal. Over 600 works of art were donated. Big Deal is an event put on by a nonprofit, Visual Aid, that helps artists with life-threatening illnesses and diseases continue their creative work. The event draws a cult like following by offering a first come first served basis of purchasing availability. All artwork was sold for a fixed price of $150 per piece. Ours went in the top 30. Yee-haw!

DripStick was awarded Best of Show at the Castro Street Fair. The CSF was a great success! We had a wonderful time and met a lot of great people. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and, of course, everyone who couldn’t walk away empty handed.

The Castro Street Fair is a crazy one. There are tons of people who show for the live music, beer garden, exhibit themselves and meet with friends. It’s nothing short of being action packed.
